Following the ceremony, the finalists are brought to the Marriott Marqis in Times Square, where they address the media.
Tim Tebow: “I was really proud of Mark. I had a hunch he might win. I’m really happy for him, but I’d be happy for no matter who had won. Mark will always be known as the 75th Heisman winner. I think his game against us capped off a really great season for him.”
Note: Tebow scored 390 points and now has 3,922 career Heisman points, second all-time behind Archie Griffin’s 4,046.
Ndamukong Suh: “I’ll never forget this experience. It’s one thing to see this all on television, but it’s another to see it in person. It’s a blast. I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything else.”
Note: Suh’s 161 first-place votes was the second-most by a pure defensive player in the history of the Heisman, trailing only Hugh Green’s 179 in 1980.
Colt McCoy: “I’m honored to be here. Obviously, I wanted to win and bring back this award to my teammates, but I have the Maxwell, Camp and O’Brien Awards to take back to them. The most important thing is to win the national title.
“Mark is a tremendous player. He deserved to win.
“It’s been a fun week. I got to meet Troy Aikman and Bart Starr, so it’s been awesome. It’s not going to disappoint me (not winning), I’m just looking forward to playing for the national title.”
Toby Gerhart: “There’s no disappointment, no hard feelings. Mark is a great guy and I’m on cloud nine just being here.
“Both me and Mark are similar backs, we’re both physical runners who play hard. I’m very proud of him.”
Note: Gerhart is the first Stanford Heisman runner up since John Elway in 1982. It’s also the highest Heisman finish by a non-USC Pac-10 player since Elway in ’82.
