He is on the left side (Div. 1) and about 8 down... so you'll have to Wait until the page fully loads to be able to scroll down.
Too bad they did not list them by order of BCS Rank so he would be at the top. Oh well. You can only vote one time per day, unless your computer does not accept the cookie it places on your computer to inform the site that you already voted today. If they had me program it then it would not matter about your cookie, I would use 3 methods that would be unique to every computer so there could be no way to cheat. But of course, that would not account for the multiple computers, like we have 6, so I voted 6 times, plus had firefox on one of them, which does not accept cookies[my manual setting] so it did let me keep voting. I am going to post this on all the messages for every article about the sooners, just so you know. We need to help Bob Stoops.

You oviously do not know anything about Football. IMHO, you are just here to cause trouble. First of all, you mis-spelled Heupel as Heaupel refering to Josh Heupel. Second, Bradford will get drafted either 1st or in the top 5. He has the size, the mobility, the maturity, the poise and the arm to make any throws on the field. He has thrown the ball 60 yards IN THE AIR right into his recievers hands. Tell me he does not have accuracy or an arm, I don't see any other QB doing that in CF! He has great mobility, but his coaches don't like him running very much as they don't want to risk losing him to a dumb injury. They have no need to call a shot with him holding the ball on more than 2 to 5 plays per game. the only reason other QB's do it is because they don't have the skill around them to get it done any other way!! Make no mistake, Bradford can play ball with the rest of them. If he had to, he could take off on just as many plays as Tebow and McCoy. That is why he is rated the Top QB in CF, even over Matthew Stafford, who is very inconsistent. Stafford is projected to be a great pro QB, but most say that they would take Bradford over Stafford because he is just the Best Athlete in CF! He is Great at just about every sport he plays in.
Put in another QB in with this OL but that is not Sam, and that QB would not have had the same season as Sam.
Sam deserves this award, yet even as he and McCoy say, it just shows how good the team is and how deserving the rest of the team is.
It really helps the program because the Heisman is the top award you can get in CF. When star players see that, it can only help. It shows that Oklahoma gets great national exposure, and that they can get on a lot of highlight reels if they play for Oklahoma. The same can be said for the rest of the schools that have Heisman finalists and even those who got left out because of all the attention they are giving it.
Coach Meade
the answer to your question is Yes and that doesn't have an s at the end.
What do they all have in common?
Not good enough to make it in the pros.
Just another choad who will make a living off of signing autographs in the middle of the afternoon at the local mall for all the mindless, bandwagon gooners. The afternoon is the best time because most of the fans are unemployed, welfare reciepiants.
Crawl back under your rock, dirtbag!!!
Bradford won the O'Brien Award as Nation Top QB!
The 3 finalists of the Heisman Award are all QB!
If 2 + 2 = 4 then Bradford will win the Heisman!
