NCAA Football Heisman Race Begins – Week One

[Shame About Ray]

Last season, Tim Tebow became the first sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy adding to his already decorated career. As a returning junior, Tebow has the chance to take the Heisman home a second time, which would be another unbelievable feat in itself.

The only thing standing in his way are the other candidates that will be vying for the attention of the voters as the NCAA football betting season progresses. Who is your money on in our football futures section? More importantly – who should it be on?

Sam Bradford (QB) – Oklahoma Sooners

Bradford heaved up an unearthly amount of yards and touchdowns last season as the Sooners cruised to a Big 12 Championship behind Bradford’s 3,121 passing yards. He also totaled 36 touchdowns and only 8 picks. Saturday’s game against Chattanooga showed Bradford at his typical best.

He posted a line of 17 completions on 22 passes, 183 modest yards and two touchdowns. Bradford’s numbers will catapult him in to Heisman contention as the season progresses, but he has to prove that he can survive the dreaded “sophomore slump”.

Chase Daniel (QB) – Missouri Tigers

In his final year at Missouri, Chase Daniel is gunning for glory. Daniel took the game in to his own hands against Illinois, and willed the Tigers to a win. He went 26-for-45 and totaled 323 yards with 3 touchdowns and one pick. Those numbers get noticed, and Chase is already on the map. With Jeremy Maclin behind him, Daniel is capable of exploding…unless Maclin, considered one of the best athletes in college right now, steals the show.
