Tim Tebow Picks Colt McCoy as 2008 Heisman Trophy Frontrunner

Florida quarterback Tim Tebow said that Texas quarterback Colt McCoy is the frontrunner for the 2008 Heisman Trophy, according to reports Tuesday.

Tebow, the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner, could become the first player since Ohio State's Archie Griffin in 1975 to win consecutive Heismans. However, he believes that McCoy is his top choice in the Heisman race right now.

"Being smart and just looking at guys who are having a good year, he obviously is someone to look at and would probably be my top guy I'd vote for right now," Tebow told the Associated Press. "He's playing extremely well and doing a great job leading his team and handles it with a lot of class, too."

As a previous winner, Tebow has a Heisman vote.

Through seven games, McCoy leads the nation in completion percentage (81%) and has thrown for 1,894 yards and 19 touchdowns. He has just three interceptions and leads the team with 371 yards rushing and six TDs.

Tebow threw 32 touchdown passes last season, ran for 23 TDs, becoming the first player in NCAA history to have at least 20 touchdowns passing and rushing in the same season. He also became the first sophomore to win the Heisman.

Thus far this season, Tebow has completed 62 percent of his passes for 1,235 yards, with 10 touchdowns and one interception. He also has 179 yards rushing and three TDs.

Last week, Tebow appeared on ESPN's College GameDay and said that he would vote for Missouri's Chase Daniel. However, Daniel suffered consecutive losses, including a duel with McCoy.
