Tim vs Colt
Is this Tim Tebow’s year?
Regardless of what may come Saturday night, the sophomore from Florida has been unbelievable all season long, scoring 51 total touchdowns. His Gators play in the toughest conference in football and was just outside a BCS game. His video game-like stats with two years of college left will be rewriting record books before long, though one may be broken Saturday.
No sophomore has ever won the Heisman.
But at some point, your grade must be thrown out. Voters should focus on what he has done on the field, and that is lead a team that was worried that he may be more like a fullback then a field general.
So, when people disregard how old he is, and just focus on his play, he wins, right?
Maybe not…
Senior QB Colt Brennan of Hawaii’s monster stats are only half the story. The former walk-on has been without a doubt the most valuable player to his team; the only to go undefeated. Hawaii makes its first appearance in a BCS game.
Florida? It won the national championship last season, but this year is settling for a trip to Orlando and the Capital One Bowl against Michigan. While it certainly isn’t a worse case scenario for the Gators, few would have imagined the Warriors would be where they are today.
Sure, the schedules matter. But maybe people are voting more on a name and a school than a player.
Its likely, almost guaranteed, that Tebow will walk away with the Heisman. However, if this writer had a vote, it’d be for Colt Brennan.

[...] Colt Brennan finished in a distant 3rd, 1,100 points behind McFadden. Don’t feel too bad for him; he lead a Hawaii team to its biggest game ever, and the 3rd non-BCS team to get into a BCS game. Oh, and he might be the top QB in the next draft. Read more about Colt here. [...]
