Your 2007 Heisman Contenders...
Make no mistake about it, you're looking at the Heisman Trophy winner in this list - somewhere. Is it possible that someone else will emerge and challenge for the crown of college football's most important player, or team MVP, or valued contributor, or whatever they base this thing on anymore? Sure, and it might be me too! Right, not likely...As you scan the TOP - 20 list above each candidate has pros and cons. Based on last year's performances mostly, the leading contenders this year are McFadden (Ark), White (WV), Booty (USC), Brian Brohm (Lou), and Colt Brennan (HI). Other intersting prospects include Jonathan Stewart (OR) who probably has as much talent as anybody in the country. But, can he / will he stay healthy for a full season? He should get several touches / game in the Ducks' spread offense. It's interesting to read about each contender and what has to happen for him to win the award. And, here's your pre-season coaches' poll from USA TODAY. No big surprises here with USC, LSU, Florida, Michigan, and TEXAS all in the top-5.
