I see the quest for the Heisman as a two-man race between Graham Harrell of Texas Tech and Colt McCoy of Texas.
Why not Sam Bradford of Oklahoma?  Because, all things being equal, he’s a sophomore and a sophomore can’t win the Heisman.  I know, Tebow won it last year as a soph, but Tebow also [...]

With is six touchdown performance against Oklahoma State, Graham Harrell has moved into the lead on the HP Heisman Watch. However, Tech’s next game against Oklahoma on Nov. 22 will decide his fate. Win, and he likely wins the Heisman. Lose, and Colt McCoy will take it home. Either way, this [...]

My belief in the past couple weeks that Colt McCoy was the only player left who could win the Heisman has been shaken a bit. Obviously, Graham Harrell has made his move and now has a chance to overtake the Longhorns quarterback.
However, I still believe that for Harrell to win the Heisman, Tech has [...]

Colt McCoy is one game away from clinching the Heisman Trophy.
Beat Texas Tech and it’s his.
There is a little bit of a Graham Harrell boomlet going on, but it will not be enough to overtake McCoy.
If Texas loses to Texas Tech, Harrell will be in the spotlight–briefely–but I think it is a bit of a [...]

We are a little over halfway through the season and yet we are very close to calling the race for Texas quarterback Colt McCoy .
Obviously, a lot can happen.  Texas can lose a game or two.  McCoy could get hurt, or his play could fall off.
But for now, it’s all Colt, all the time. (Note:  [...]

Oh, my how this season is turning into a toughie to analyze.  I am sure that there are quite a few more twists and turns to go.   For now, here’s how I see it.  Remember, these are the guys with the best chance of actually winning :
1.  Colt McCoy, Texas– I thought McCoy would pull [...]

Man, oh, man.  The Heisman race is about to get really interesting these next couple weeks.
But for now, here are the players with the best chances of actually winning.  Keep in mind that other players who are not on this list will end up finishing high in the Heisman voting.
1. Chase Daniel, Missouri– Daniel continued [...]

There was a Heisman earthquake this past weekend, as Mark Sanchez, Tim Tebow and Matt Stafford were dealt potentially fatal blows to their candidacies (though I never thought Tebow could win anyway).  However, there’s still a chance for a Heisman ‘re-set’, which I will get into later.
In the meantime, the following is a [...]

It’s time for this week’s HP Heisman Watch.  The following list is of the players who have the best shot at actually winning the Heisman.  It is NOT a predicted order of the final voting.  Therefore, some players not on this list will assuredly get their share of votes.
1. Chase Daniel, Missouri– Daniel is the [...]
