Lower expectations should help McCoy in Heisman chase

A co-worker asked today if Colt McCoy would win the Heisman Trophy this season.

My answer: Only if UT beats Oklahoma.

Once reminded that UT beat OU last season and Colt still failed to win the Heisman, I changed my answer to: Only if UT beats Oklahoma and everyone else.

With all things equal, here's guessing the Heisman voters will be more impressed by a standout season from McCoy than by Tebow, who already is a god in Florida and television broadcasters (especially Thom Brennaman).

In other words, voters will be less impressed by a player who already has such high expectations placed on him than they would from someone who has yet to reach the lofty status that is to be a Tebow.
