It wouldnt have been horribly shocking if Tebow would have won 3 heisman trophies. I think when people cast their vote they took that into consideration. Tebow had the most 1st place votes in 2008. 2009's Heisman was decided on the outcome of 1 game vs Alabama

    Archie had a better year after his 1st trophy. Even though Tebow had a Heisman worthy 2nd-3rd year, they always compared it to the first season and not the other players. Votes expected Tebow to duplicate 2007 which was just an unrealistic expectation.

    Side note, Tim Tebow almost had more rushing TDs in a single season than Archie had in his entire career.

    to put it in perspective.......... Archie had 26 total career rushing TDs. Tim Tebow had 57 rushing to go along with his 88 passing.

    You didnt watch the game then. Tebow got bailed out by some bad defense on more than a few of his rainbow throws. Bradford also had a TD pass hit his receiver in the chest then get picked off. That TD may have been the difference in the game.

    How many voters have you interviewed to learn this info? When Bradford won it he threw for more yards, more TD's, better int to td ratio. The year Tebow did win it, Dixon already had his name inscribed on it until he got hurt.

    Winning it once did hurt him in the current PC world, they probably thought they needed to pass the award around some.

    Different game. Not nearly as many rules to benefit the offense and hurt the defense. That is why so many records from that era have been dominated. The game has really changed.
