I have to think Beanie may not be out of this yet. Depending on PSU's performance and ranking going into our game, and if Wisky can pull their [censored] together and run away from TSUN...ya never know.

I don't know, somebody said he'd need to hurdle a defender to get back into it. :wink2:

Tebow tabs Texas QB McCoy as Heisman front-runner

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida quarterback Tim Tebow has picked a front-runner for the Heisman Trophy, and it's not last year's winner.
Tebow, who could become the first player since Ohio State's Archie Griffin in 1975 to win consecutive Heismans, said Monday that Texas quarterback Colt McCoy is his top choice right now.
"Being smart and just looking at guys who are having a good year, he obviously is someone to look at and would probably be my top guy I'd vote for right now," Tebow said. "He's playing extremely well and doing a great job leading his team and handles it with a lot of class, too."
As a previous winner, Tebow has a Heisman vote, and he used No. 5 Florida's off week to catch up on some of the hopefuls for college football's most prestigious award.
McCoy stood out.
The fellow junior completed 29 of 32 passes for 337 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran for two scores in the Longhorns' 56-31 victory against Missouri on Saturday. Texas beat Oklahoma 45-35 a week earlier and took over the top spot in the Associated Press poll.
Through seven games, McCoy has completed 81 percent of his passes for 1,894 yards and 19 touchdowns. He has just three interceptions and leads the team with 371 yards rushing and six scores.
Throw in McCoy's strong religious beliefs and it's no wonder Tebow, the son of a missionary who makes frequent mission trips to the Philippines, would be a fan.
"I think he's done a great job just handling everything," Tebow said. "His interviews after the game I watched, too. Just getting to know him a little bit, I was very proud because I think he represents college football really well, and handled his faith extremely well, too. He is never ashamed of that, which I respect as well, so I think he is doing a great job with everything that he is going through."

The HP Heisman Watch, Week 8 | Heismanpundit

...

Chase Daniel can't win the Heisman. Sam Bradford is a sophomore and therefore can't win. Graham Harrell won't have the numbers. Tim Tebow already won it and so can't win it again. Daryll Clark doesn't have the name recognition. Max Hall is done. So, too, are Matt Stafford, Mark Sanchez, Beanie Wells, Javon Ringer and Pat White.

Sometimes, figuring out who can or will win the Heisman is as much a process of elimination as anything else.

When you weigh the two most likely candidates right now (McCoy and Bradford), there is a clear distinction between the two: McCoy beat Bradford head-to-head, McCoy's team is No. 1, McCoy has better name recognition and McCoy has come up big in nationally televised games.

So, unless the race gets re-set, McCoy is the only one in it who can win.

Texas QB McCoy reportedly will return for senior season

Texas might be able to announce "Heisman Trophy winner Colt McCoy" next season.
The front-runner for the award told the Sporting News on Wednesday that he will return for his senior season.
"I'm going to play here for four years," McCoy said, according to the Web site. "I've been blessed to be able to play here. Not very many people get to [start] here for four years, so what an opportunity. And if the NFL is there for me, then I hope that I'll get to keep playing, because I love to play this game. Hopefully, it will work out."

Class: Senior
Ht: 6-3 Wt: 234
Comment: Harrell improved his Heisman stock, leading the Red Raiders over the Longhorns this past weekend. Harrell now has more than 3,600 yards passing with 30 touchdowns. If Tech keeps winning, Harrell is the favorite.
