Does Anyone Want To Win The 2009 Heisman Trophy?

As we come to the end of the 2009 college football season, it seems that no one is talking about this year's Heisman Trophy race.

And one that even Sooner fans would agree is a far cry from the one that was expected to contend for a national championship this year. There are good teams that win despite the loss of a star or two, and then there are teams that are thought to be great, but are exposed as an average team without their star. And while every team has it's stars, most teams can still win without them. However, there is a danger to relying to heavily on just one star, and it was apparent this year in Norman, Oklahoma. When Florida lost Tim Tebow earlier this year, they could rely on a smothering defense, a solid ground game, and a backup quarterback to help them win games.
