2009-10 Heisman Trophy Watch

Though only three weeks have past, the college football season has been exciting and the potential candidates for the Heisman Trophy are lining up. There are some favorites on the list as well as a few dark horses that may run up and take the hardware. 

Tim Tebow – Florida Gators

As the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, Florida’s Tim Tebow is on pace to repeat and go down as the greatest player in college football history. Tebow has a well balanced attack with the run game becoming more prevalent each week. Last Saturday’s victory over Tennessee was his most impressive on the ground as he ran the ball 24 times for 76 yards. When considering the great start Florida has gotten off to, Tim Tebow could be a shoe-in for Heisman candidate and claim his second trophy. Latest Heisman Odds

Jahvid Best – California Golden Bears

The Heisman Trophy affair has been quarterback orientated for quite a while but Javhid Best of the Golden Bears may be able to change all that. Best has looked unstoppable at times, rushing for more than 100 yards in each of the Bears’ three victories. Averaging a ridiculous 7.7 yards per carry, Best is one in a handful of running backs that may be able to wrestle the spotlight away from Tim Tebow and this year’s stellar quarterback class. If the Golden Bears can keep up their dominance, they may be able to help their fellow teammate secure the hardware. Latest Heisman Odds

Colt McCoy – Texas Longhorns

Colt McCoy was in the race last season and should probably be a candidate this time around. Boasting a passer rating of 144.51, McCoy has elected to run less and keep it in the air where he seems much more comfortable. He’s closing in on the 1000-yard mark and has put up more than 300 yards in two of his first three outings. The Longhorns are making a case for the BCS title and Colt is leading the way. If they can keep it up, he could come away with the Trophy. Latest Heisman Odds

Darryl Clark – Penn State Nittany Lions

With Sam Bradford seemingly out of the picture, Darryl Clark of Penn State could sneak up and steal the crown. This guy is not flashy, just incredibly efficient, just like the Nittany Lions as a whole. Clark has calmed down since his first game where he lit it up for 358 yards, but still has a total of 8 touchdowns and a passer rating of 153.86. Playing in the down Big 10 might hurt his chances, but at this point, Darryl Clark is just as worthy as any. Latest Heisman Odds

Bye Bye Max Hall, Hello Jacory Harris

Many people think the Miami Hurricanes are back. It may be too ealry to tell, but if Jacory Harris continues his amazing play at QB, Miami may be a national title contender. His stats for the first 2 games of the season are certainly “Heisman-esque”. Latest Heisman Odds
