Playing against Charleston Southern makes Tebow look impressive? LOL

As impressive as McCoy vs. UL-M, Jimmy Claussen vs. Nevada, Joe McKnight vs. SJSU, Jahvid Best vs. Maryland, etc..  A lot of teams played push-overs yesterday.

I think Tebow has looked pretty good against tough competition last season, and made some very impressive throws yesterday - no matter who the defense was.

[Booker]

oh I know, but for her to say he was better than Mccoy based on that is funny

[LFO]

McCoy doesn't have to read SEC defenses and doing what he did in 1 1/2 quarters makes Tebow very impressive.

I think the Big 12 D's have done pretty well when playing SEC offenses. 

Outside of the Georgia game vs. OSU, I can only think of 2 games recently where Big 12/SEC matched up, and both Snead/Tebow did well. 

The Georgia game is a somewhat understandable, as they are breaking in pretty much all new offensive skill players, with the QB (allegedly) having the flu.  Needless to say, they struggled.  But on the flip side, Zach Robinson looked nothing like the guy who lit up Big 12 defenses last year.

It's going to come down to McCoy and Tebow.

Oh voters love that little gold helmet. ND has a cheeseball schedule and are on TV every week. Don't overlook the power of old people thinking ND is still relevant.

1 1/2 quarters what it takes others 4 to do is impressive if it the U of Sisters of the Poor.

Bradford is probably done.  I hear he may be out for the season.  At best he's probably done 2 months, unless the Grade 2/3 sprain diagnosis is wrong and it's a grade 1.....

Stoops might be wishing he played his back-up more last season in those blow-outs.

Agreed. It definitely looked that way Saturday.

McCoy and Tebow appear to be the front-runners.  Claussen has the numbers, but the loss to Michigan will hurt him - even though his Defense lost it.

[John Galt?]

McCoy has an edge over Tebow in that a lot of Heisman voters will be biased against giving someone a second trophy.

[RedAlert]

Tebow isnt a frontrunner until he plays against legit competition.

[MrFreakinMiyagi]

Tebow isnt a frontrunner until he plays against legit competition.

It would be foolish to have a discussion about the Heisman Trophy without mentionig Tebow.

He is definitely a frontrunner to win it.

not playing like crap in the first half vs Wyoming

[Biggs3535]

By those standards, who is a frontrunner after 2 weeks?

[Trojan52]

It's going to come down to McCoy and Tebow.

Their not.
