Your Heisman Winner, Sam Bradford

Oklahoma's Sam Bradford has won the 2008 Heisman Trophy. I usually don't write about college football on the blog; however, I like this kid and the number he has put up this season are amazing.

A year after Tim Tebow was 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 and Tebow will soon meet again, when the No. 2 Sooners (12-1) face No. 1 Gators (12-1) on Jan. 8 in Miami for the title.

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.

"I was definitely surprised and I think it's everything I imagined," said Bradford, who raised the 25-pound bronze statue with his left hand still in a cast from a recent surgery. "I think it will take a couple weeks to set in."

Bradford got 300 first-place votes, McCoy 266 and Tebow 309.
