All college football players dream of playing for a championship winning team. Although winning games and going to BCS bowls is nice, there is one more thing that measures a true college football player. The best player in the country stands out when he wins college football’s most prized trophy, the Heisman Trophy. The players are given votes at the end of the year based on their personal play and statistics and their team’s position. Most players who win the trophy stand out the most and have personal statistics that help their team’s position to win a National Title. The previous three years, sophomores have run the table and have taken home the trophy.
Sam Bradford from the University of Oklahoma took home the trophy three years ago as a sophomore. He was sidelined the following season, which left the door open for someone to take it the upcoming year.
Tim Tebow from the University of Florida took home that prize two years ago, also his sophomore year. Tebow was denied his second Heisman Trophy when another SEC player won it the following year.
Last year’s winner, Mark Ingram, has yet to see the field this season entering week two due to a knee injury. No one has counted out Ingram yet, he is just going to be a lot of ground to pick up
So seeing a back-to-back Heisman winner will be unlikely this year. This season there is no clear cut winner, a few names have been thrown around and no one has really had a standout performance yet. Will it be a running back? A receiver? Or how about a defensive player? It is anyone’s game this year and it will be interesting to see who gets the nod come December.
