Third place? That could change soon.

ESPN’s first Heisman Watch of 2009 debuted last week.  So why is the returning Heisman winner on a national championship contender a distant third with no first place votes?

Questions about OU’s O-line linger, though Bradford and the Sooners have a chance to make an early statement in their season-opener against BYU in Cowboys Stadium.

Don’t expect Bradford to be constantly on the run this year with the new four linemen up front, but a 300-yard, 4 TD performance against the No. 24 Cougars could shake up the top 3 while Tim Tebow and Colt McCoy frost a couple of cupcakes in Charleston Southern and Louisiana-Monroe.
