Tim Tebow, QB for the Florida Gators has won the Heisman Trophy, beating out Arkansas' Darren McFadden, Hawaii's Colt Brennan and Missouri's Chase Daniel for the coveted trophy. He is the first sophomore to ever the win the award. Tebow, whose Gators won the national title last year under QB Chris Leak, was not as good this year as they were last year. But Tebow had a spectacular season statistically. Tebow lead his team rushing and passing, and he is the first player in college football history, to have at least 20 touchdowns rushing and passing. He had 29 TD passes and he also had 22 rushing TD. The Gators will be playing in the Capital One Bowl against the Michigan Wolverines. McFadden finished second again, a year after finishing second in the race last yearto Troy Smith of Ohio State. Coming into this season, many thought that McFadden was going to be the runaway winner of the award. He had more rushing yards than he did last year but Arkansas wasn't as good as they were last year. They will face off against Daniel and the Missouri Tigers in the Cotton Bowl. Brennan, whose Hawaii Warriors went undefeated and got a BCS bowl berth for the first time in school history, came in third in the Heisman race. His coach, June Jones, criticized Tebow earlier this week for being a system quarterback and not being ready for the NFL. Hawaii, who had a weak schedule, has a chance to prove themselves when they play the Georgia Bulldogs in the Allstate Sugar Bowl. Was Tebow the right choice for the Heisman trophy? Is Brennan a more established quarterback than Tebow or is Brennan also a system quarterback?
