Abstract
- Tim Tebow will go for two against two talented quarterbacks from the Big 12 when the Heisman Trophy is awarded Saturday night in Manhattan. Sam Bradford from Oklahoma and Colt McCoy from Texas joined Tebow as Heisman finalists announced Wednesday. The last time all the Heisman finalists were quarterbacks was 2001, when Nebraska's Eric Crouch won the award and quarterbacks held the first six spots. Tebow, from Florida, was the first sophomore to win the Heisman last year and is trying to become the second player to win it twice. Archie Griffin won the Heisman as a junior in 1974 for Ohio State and again in 1975. Florida's offensive coordinator, Dan Mullen, will be the new coach at Mississippi State, moving from the Southeastern Conference champions to one of the league's perennial cellar dwellers. Mullen, 46, who was to be introduced Thursday morning, has been an assistant coach for 14 years and spent the last eight with Urban Meyer at Bowling Green, Utah and Florida. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
