Colt McCoy-Graham Harrell in Heisman showdown

The game on Saturday in Lubbock between Texas and Texas Tech might not only decide the Big 12 South winner, and thus potential BCS championship game finalist, but also the Heisman Trophy winner.
This week's HeismanPundit/Orlando Sentinel poll has Texas Longhorns quarterback Colt McCoy as the leading contender, unanimously for the second consecutive week. But Texas Tech Red Raiders quarterback Graham Harrell is second.
At least one voter said McCoy is a lock for the award if Texas wins. If Texas Tech wins, Harrell probably would become the leading contender.

Somebody from Texas Tech winning the Heisman? Are cats and dogs going to start mating with each other too?
Go Colt!

Colt will still win Heisman - better season and did what he needed to do in putting his team ahead w/ 1.30 left in TT game. That is a tough place to play on any night let alone under the circumstances that were Nov 1st. Nice job by TT.

I don't think i would count out a certian Gator who is one of the smartest and strongest players in the college game today. Not to take anything away from these two, just thought you might add an equal talent to the mix.

Graham Harrell will win the Heisman. Texas has a good football team but the school and the fans suck. Go Red Raiders!! Guns up! Tech Grad 2000
