For the second year, Texas Longhorn quarterback Colt McCoy has been named a finalist for the Heisman Trophy. Other finalists include:

• Tim Tebow, QB, Florida Gators
• Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama Crimson Tide
• Toby Gerhart, RB, Stanford Cardinal
• Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska Cornhuskers

Even after McCoy’s less than Heisman-worthy performance Saturday night, I like his odds of winning. Many of the votes were probably cast prior to the Big 12 Championship against Nebraska, when his stellar game against Texas A&M was still front of mind.

In an announcement that surprised no one, Texas Longhorn Colt McCoy, Oklahoma Sooner Sam Bradford, and Florida Gator Tim Tebow were named Heisman Finalists today. They’re packing their bags for this weekend’s ceremony in New York City.

After an ugly weekend, more good news comes in for the Texas Longhoorns. Suzanne Halliburton of the Austin American Statesman is reporting that Colt McCoy told her that he is coming back for his senior year.
