The Heisman race is still wide open as the star performers on the top three teams in the nation continue to pile up numbers and wins. Surprisingly, online sportsbook Sportsbook.com has moved Florida QB Tim Tebow down to +500 or 5/1 to win the 2009 Heisman Trophy. Alabama RB Mark Ingram and Texas QB Colt McCoy continue to be favored to win the Heisman.
Tim Tebow – Florida Gators
Tebow played just over a half in last week’s 62-3 rout of Florida International. He delivered a season-long 55-yard touchdown run to give the top-ranked Gators an early 14-0 lead in the contest. With his arm, Tebow completed 17-of-25 passes for 215 yards with a pair of TD strikes. He has now accounted for 25 total touchdowns (14 pass, 11 rush) this season. However, Tebow’s past accomplishments could prevent him from winning another Heisman Trophy in 2009. He accounted for a whopping 55 touchdowns in 2007 to capture the Heisman. Last year, Tebow had a combined 42 touchdowns through the air and ground. On Saturday, he will play his final home game at Florida against rival Florida State before heading to Atlanta for a showdown with 2nd-ranked Alabama for the SEC championship on December 5th.

Colt McCoy – Texas Longhorns
McCoy is building some momentum for the Heisman after his best statistical game of the year. In last week’s 51-20 win over Kansas, he completed 32-of-41 passes for 396 yards with four touchdown tosses. McCoy became the winningest quarterback in the history of college football in the victory. He is now 43-7 in his career as a starter. McCoy continues to lead the nation in completion percentage at 73 percent. With 23 TD passes in 2009, McCoy has thrown for more than 20 touchdowns in each of his four collegiate campaigns. This week, the 3rd-ranked Longhorns will look to complete a perfect regular season with a Thanksgiving visit to rival Texas A & M before the Big 12 title game against Nebraska on December 5th in Dallas.

Mark Ingram – Alabama Crimson Tide
Ingram didn’t need to exert much of an effort in last week’s 45-0 blowout of Chattanooga. He had only 11 carries for Alabama in the win. Ingram gained 102 yards with a pair of touchdown runs in the contest. The sophomore is fourth in the nation in rushing with 1399 yards. His 12 rushing touchdowns match the total he accumulated as a freshman in 2008. On Friday, Ingram will face a major test as the Crimson Tide head across the state to face bitter rival Auburn before the SEC title matchup against Florida.

C.J. Spiller – Clemson Tigers

In his four years at Clemson, Spiller has rushed for over 3,000 yards with 27 touchdowns on the ground. He has also caught over 100 passes at Clemson with 11 TD grabs. Spiller has returned three kickoffs for scores this season while adding a punt return TD. He has also thrown a touchdown pass for the Tigers this season.
