Tebow will have to prove he can play without Percy Harvin and Louis Murphy this year. The running backs should only be better this season and that could potentially take away from of Tebow's statistics, which are a must for Heisman contenders.
2. Colt McCoy
Having Shipley back will only help McCoy in his attempt to give each of the quarterbacks in the terrific trio a Heisman trophy. Texas lacks a dominant back and that should only help McCoy gain rushing yards in addition to passing yards. McCoy should put up the best statistics of the trio.
3. Sam Bradford
It's pretty bad when the returning Heisman trophy winner is only third in anyone's list, but McCoy and Tebow had an equal argument at the trophy last season and Tebow himself is a former winner. Oklahoma's line lost a bunch of all-conference performers and with weapons such as DeMarco Murray and Chris Brown at running back, I don't expect Bradford to put up the same numbers as last season.
4. Kendall Hunter
Hunter might play for the country's most dynamic offense with Zac Robinson and Dez Bryant. Hunter's problem may be sharing the spotlight with Bryant, who is a touchdown machine. In a league of weak defenses, Hunter has the potential to reach the 2000 yard plateau this season.
5. Julio Jones
Wide receivers barely ever win Heismans, but they can unlike defensive players who don't get enough respect in these award ceremonies. Jones has to play with a new quarterback in Greg McElroy this season and if McElroy can't get him the ball, Jones can't do anything. A wide receiver winning the Heisman hinges on the fact he has a good quarterback and he is the primary target.
