65 predictions, #55

Well, less than 8 weeks until the first game kicks off. Then we get 4 straight months of football. After that, two major trophies go out. Yesterday I gave you a prediction about one of the trophies: the BCS National Championship Trophy. Or at least I told you who wasn't going to hoist it. Today I will tell you who will be lifting up the coveted Heisman Trophy in December.

#55: Barring an injury, Texas Longhorn QB Colt McCoy will win the Heisman Trophy this season. He will throw for over 4,000 yards and his team will compete for the Big 12 title and National Championship. Unlike Bradford and Tebow, you remove Colt McCoy from Texas and they are no longer a top 5 team. He has a pretty light schedule to pile up stats, but it's also tough enough that he will be challenged on the big stage and have a chance to showcase his ability. As my OU fan buddy said about him: Colt McCoy exemplifies Texas. He is a class act. He works hard. He improves each day. If he is any better than he was last season, there is no one that can stand between him and the Heisman Trophy.
