"He said, ‘Relax, have fun, there’s nothing you can do now that will change the outcome,’ ” Bradford said of White’s text. "Winning, that’s probably the least important thing.

"The most important thing is getting to meet all the past winners and enjoying the week.”

Florida QB Tim Tebow has also been talking with a past Heisman winner, ex-Ohio State running back Archie Griffin.

Tonight, Tebow hopes to join Griffin as the only players to win the Heisman twice.

"I had a chance to talk with him a few times,” Tebow said. "He’s a man who’s really strong in his faith, too. So we have a lot in common.

"I didn’t know about him as a person, I knew about him as a football player. But the person is what I’ve enjoyed getting to know.”

Tebow was asked if Griffin was still sore about Tebow’s Gators thumping the Buckeyes 41-14 in the 2006 national championship.

"No,” Tebow said, "he’s over that.”

Texas QB Colt McCoy also received a "good luck” text from former Longhorn QB and 2005 Heisman runner-up Vince Young.
