On Saturday night, the 2008 Heisman Trophy will be presented to the one of the three finalists: Tim Tebow of the Florida Gators, Sam Bradford of the Oklahoma Sooners, and Colt McCoy of the Texas Longhorns. All three are quarterbacks, with Bradford and McCoy from the Big 12.

He has also rushed for 12 touchdowns and 564 yards.

Sam Bradford is the quarterback for the Oklahoma Sooners, and has led the Sooners to a Big 12 championship this season. He also has led the Sooners to a current No. 1 ranking in the BCS standings, and a spot in the BCS national championship game against the Gators.

Also, he led the Sooners to 12-1 record this season. This season, Bradford has thrown for 4,464 yards and 48 touchdowns. He has also completed 302-of-442 passes thrown, for a completion percentage of 68.3 percent. He has only thrown for six interceptions on the season. He also has five rushing touchdowns on the season. Bradford has also led the Sooners to scoring 60 points or more in five consecutive games this season.

Colt McCoy is the quarterback of the Texas Longhorns, leading them to a No. 3 ranking in the BCS standings. His Longhorns will play in the Fiesta Bowl vs. Ohio State. This season, McCoy has thrown for 3,445 yards and 32 touchdowns. He has completed 291-of-375 passes thrown this season, for a completion percentage of 77.6 percent.
