2008 Heisman Trophy Top 10 Update after Week 13 By Larry Ness Pregame Pros Handicapper 1) SAM BRADFORD (Oklahoma) Last Week: 2. This past Saturday night in Norman, Oklahoma's Bradford threw 19 passes while Texas Tech's Harrell attempted 55 and as the saying goes, "less is more!" Saturday's night showdown was pretty much over in the mid-second quarter (28-0) and was all-but-over when the Sooners scored two TDs in the final... Read more

2008 Heisman Trophy Top 10 Update after Week 12 By Larry Ness Pregame Pros Handicapper 1) GRAHAM HARRELL (Texas Tech) Last Week: 1. Texas Tech followed its dramatic 39-33 win over Texas on November 1 with a convincing 56-20 win over Oklahoma State on 11/8 in Lubbock. Like his predecessors at Texas Tech, Harrell has lived with the claim that's it's Mike Leach's "system" not the QB, which is the star of the Texas Tech offense... Read more

2008 Heisman Trophy Top 10 Update after Week 11 By Larry Ness Pregame Pros Handicapper 1) GRAHAM HARRELL (Texas Tech) Last Week: 2. Harrell threw for five TDs and 646 yards in Stillwater last year (the fourth-best passing game in major college football history) but the Red Raiders lost to the Cowboys, 49-45. However, losing hasn't been an option for Mike Leach's Red Raiders in '08 and Tech followed its dramatic 39-33... Read more

2008 Heisman Trophy Top 10 Update after Week 10 By Larry Ness Pregame Pros Handicapper 1) SAM BRADFORD (Oklahoma) Last Week: 2. Remember when the Nebraska/Oklahoma game meant something special?

The... Read more

2008 Heisman Trophy Top 10 Update after Week 9 By Larry Ness Pregame Pros Handicapper 1) COLT MCCOY (Texas) Last Week: 1. The top-five teams in the nation did not change in either the AP poll or the latest BCS standings and following suit, I've made no changes to the top-five players in my Heisman top-10 this week. The Longhorns held on to beat previously undefeated Oklahoma State 28-24 this past Saturday in Austin, giving... Read more

2008 Heisman Trophy Top 10 Update after Week 8 By Larry Ness Pregame Pros Handicapper 1) COLT MCCOY (Texas) Last Week: 3. Just two weeks ago, the Longhorns were No. 5 in the AP poll but consecutive wins over Oklahoma 45-35 and Missouri 56-31 have seen the Longhorns become the nation's unquestioned No. 1 team (for now). Texas jumped from No. 5 to No. 1 after its win over Oklahoma and its win this past Saturday night over... Read more

Oklahoma and Texas combined for 80 points, breaking the record for most points in the 103 games of this rivalry. The bad news for the Sooners however, was that they scored 35 points, while the Longhorns were the team which scored 45. It's marked the first time Oklahoma has lost a regular-season... Read more

2008 Heisman Trophy Top 10 Update after Week 6 By Larry Ness Pregame Pros Handicapper 1) CHASE DANIEL (Missouri) Last Week: 1. The Tigers ended two long road losing streaks on their march to the Big 12 North title last year, winning at Colorado for the first time since 1997 and at Kansas State for the first time since 1989. Missouri one-upped those streaks this past Saturday night, as the Tigers' 52-17 win over the... Read more
