With the new season starting there are already questions concerning this years Heisman Trophy candidates. Last years top 3 candidates are all returning to play another season. Sam Bradford, with the Oklahoma Sooners; Tim Tebow, with the Florida Gators; and Colt McCoy, with the Texas Longhorns. Will Bradford repeat? Will Tebow get his second in 3 years? Will McCoy pick up his first trophy? Or will there be a dark horse winner?
No one has won it back-to-back since Archie Griffin in 74 and 75, so the odds are against Bradford, but I'm not saying that he's out of it by any means. McCoy has the accuracy(78% last year) and the weapons(including number one wide-out, Jordan Shipley), but Tebow is my pick. Returning from a National Championship win last season, hes the most experienced. He's the most well-rounded college quarterback I've ever seen, he runs like a fullback, throws like a top-notch slinger, and plays with the intensity of a hard-hitting linebacker.
On top of that, the rest of the Gators are no bums. They are already on top of the rankings entering this season. They're defense is one of the best in the nation, lead by linebacker Brandon Spikes who is also already in the running for the NCAA Defensive Player of the Year. I see a whole lot of 3-and-outs up their sleeves, giving the Gators' offense that many more chances to make things happen. I'm expecting great things out of Tebow and his Gators this season, including another National Championship appearance.
Strong start! I can certainly sense your voice coming through the writing, which is ideal. It reads like a sports writer wrote it, which suggests you've read enough sports writing to be able to imitate it. A few spelling errors, and I would work the hyperlink into the body of the blog, but otherwise nicely done.
ReplyDeleteI like this. Tebow is my pick too. I mean the guy is a machine. and bradford is hurt now. The gators are winning it all, and Tebow is taking the heisman.
ReplyDeleteYa agree 100% with you about Timmy winning it especailly after Bradford getting hurt last night i think he's out of it unless he comes back domination style. Timmy is to tuff of a quarterback being able to manuever on the ground and being able to throw darts i think he's got it.
