Gerhart is a stud. I won't argue that. His numbers are unreal, leading the FBS in rushing yards and adding 26 rushing touchdowns. However, this trophy isn't like the MVP in baseball, and stats aren't everything. When I look at this, I see five guys that are phenomenal players that all mean a lot to their team, but one that plays for an undefeated team that could not be replaced. Colt McCoy is a player that does whatever his team needs and although his season doesn't measure up with what he did last year (I thought he deserved the award last year instead of Bradford) he really defines a great football player. Last year for the majority of the season he led the team in rushing and this year is second on the team in rushing yards. Texas is a team that has lost one game in two years and had virtually no running game that whole time. Statistically I would pick Gerhart over everyone else. In terms of stepping up in the clutch you have to give it to Ingram for the way he played against Florida. In terms of the most valuable player though, McCoy really deserves this. He got snubbed last year and his team is undefeated while Stanford is 8-4. All are deserving and I find it funny that the least deserving is Tebow. Larry Johnson had over 2000 yards rushing in 2002 and didn't get the Heisman largely due to Penn State's record...wins matter more than yards. McCoy gives the stiff-arm
