In what was one of the most tightly contested Heisman races ever, the
2008 Heisman trophy went to Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford.
In the first time in the history of the Heisman all of the finalists were underclassmen:
Tim Tebow: Junior
Colt McCoy: Junior
Sam Bradford: Sophomore
Tim Tebow who attempted to be only the second player ever to win 2
Heisman trophies received more first place votes than Bradford but
ended up third in overall voting. Ohio State running back Archie
Griffen is the only 2-time Heisman winner in 1974 & 1975.
Bradford however, proved to have the better credentials needed for the
74th Heisman trophy. Bradford has 4,464 yards and 48 touchdowns all
while leading the country in passing efficiency.
