Bradford’s biggest score: the Heisman Trophy

By Ralph D. Russo - Ap College Football Writer     Dec 13, 2008

? Oklahoma’s amazingly accurate and quick-thinking quarterback won the Heisman on Saturday night after guiding the highest-scoring team in major college football history to the national championship game.

A year after Tim Tebow became the first sophomore to win the Heisman, Bradford became the second and kept the Florida quarterback from joining Archie Griffin as the only two-time winners.

Bradford, who leads the nation in touchdown passes with 48, received 1,726 points. Texas quarterback Colt McCoy was second with 1,604 and Tebow — who received the most first-place votes — was third with 1,575 points.

The only other time the margin between first and third was smaller was 2001, when Nebraska’s Eric Crouch beat out Florida’s Rex Grossman and Miami’s Ken Dorsey.
