As a 'Cane, it may seem sacrilegious for me to support a Gator, but in a Heisman field that is wide open, the climate allows for exceptions - and for history - to be made.
As only a sophomore, Tim Tebow could become the first underclassman to win the Heisman and the youngest person to be part of the pantheon of football gods.
He's the first quarterback ever to pass and rush for more than 20 touchdowns each. He runs the ball with speed and power that rivals the top running backs' in the nation.
As a quarterback, he has some of the highest stats, despite the injuries of the top starters on his team. But he's more than a quarterback. Tebow is loved by Gators and non-Gators fans alike. He is charismatic and a true leader.
The Heisman is supposed to be awarded to the most outstanding collegiate football player. Tebow is just that. And why do I, a Filipino, like him so much? Well, he was born in the Philippines, and although he dons a Gators jersey, I know that his will is that of a Caribou.
