Does Tim Tebow win the Heisman again?

Did Tebow's performance this year (especially Saturday in the 4th quarter against the #3 defense in the country) win him the Heisman again?

The QB from Oklahoma will take it this year, 60 plus points in last 4-5 games

You may be right, but as I posted elsewhere, Tebow played against 9 of the top 37 defenses in the country, whereas the best defense in the Big 12 was Texas at number 50.

It will make for an interesting National Championship Game to see if Oklahoma can ring up the Florida defense like it did everyone else.

Yeah, but typically heisman voters will not look at the rankings of defenses but rather how well the individual performed.

......and they typically don't look at the leadership exhibited by the individual.....such as Tebow putting the team on his back when some of the playmakers were out with injuries.

I think you're right, that a lot of the voters just look at individual stats and how well the team did (excluding, was it 1958?, when Paul Hornung won leading a 2-8 Notre Dame team)
