Orakpo Wins Nagurski Trophy
In a conference known for nothing but offense, the first major national award of the college football banquet season went to … a Big 12 defensive player.
“There goes that theory,” Texas defensive end Brian Orakpo joked Sunday after winning the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, given to the nation’s top defender.
Orakpo flew to Charlotte, N.C., on Sunday, a day after participating in graduation at UT.
This fall, the son of Nigerian immigrants finished up the final three hours he needed to earn a degree in youth and community studies.
Next on Orakpo’s itinerary is Wednesday’s Lombardi Trophy ceremony, which honors the nation’s top lineman.
After a quick trip back to Austin for Friday’s Longhorn football banquet, Orakpo will leave for Newport Beach, Calif., for a black-tie dinner Sunday to honor finalists for the Lott Trophy . That award goes to a defensive player for work on and off the field. (more…)

NCAA Football Trophy News…
Heisman Trophy Watch – Week 15
Sam Bradford helped his team dominate against last week in a 62-21 victory over Missouri in the Big 12 Championship game. Bradford has now lead the Sooners to 5 straight games of 60+ points and he continues to lead all of FBS with 48 passing touchdowns. Bradford is also third in total passing yards and first in all of college football in QB rating. He’s lead his team to the National Championship, something only Tim Tebow on this list can claim as well. Bradford has been consistently the best player in college football this year and should be considered as the favorite for the trophy, which, according to SportsBook.com, Bradford is the favorite, at -400 to win the Heisman Trophy this year.
Colt McCoy is a victim of circumstance this year. His team missed out on the Big 12 Championship and a bid to the BCS Championship game because of a 3-way tie in the Big 12 South, in which the tie-breaker went to the Oklahoma Sooners, even though McCoy and his Longhorns were the only team to beat Oklahoma this year. In addition to missing out on a national title, McCoy also lost a chance to improve on his Heisman resume. While Bradford and Tebow lead their teams to impressive victories on national television, McCoy was nowhere to be seen, his team idle this weekend. I would still contend that no single player in college football has meant more to his team than McCoy, but things simply didn’t line up right for him to win the Heisman in 2008. McCoy certain had a Heisman-worthy year, passing for 3,445 yards, 32 touchdowns, and completing an improbable and impressive 77.5% of his passes. It’s just too bad for Colt that Sam Bradford’s team ended up with all of the BCS luck this season. McCoy lost out to Bradford for both the Big 12 Player of the Year and First-Team Big 12 QB honors, and it appears he will also fall second to Bradford in the Heisman voting as well. (more…)

>Trophy News from Orlando, FL
Could Florida's Tim Tebow join former Ohio State great Archie Griffin as the only players to win multiple Heisman Trophies? The Gators’ dual-threat quarterback is the betting favorite on betED.com’s odds for the 2008 Heisman.
Here is a look at betED.com’s favorites and a breakdown of their chances of hoisting college football’s most prestigious award.
Tim Tebow, Florida QB – 250: In 2007, he was a one-man wrecking crew for the Gators, passing for 3,286 yards and 32 touchdowns and rushing for 895 yards and 25 more scores. Tebow’s top three receivers return, including star Percy Harvin. So every 2008 Heisman Trophy Prediction list must start with the reigning winner. But Tebow wore down a bit last year, and Urban Meyer has said he doesn’t want his bruising lefty to run the ball as much this year and thus save him from punishment. So with Chris Rainey, Emmanuel Moody and even Harvin getting plenty of carries, there’s no way Tebow’s 2008 numbers will match last season’s, even though the Gators are likely a better team. Make or break game: 10/11 vs. LSU.
