WINDING DOWN
You know it's almost Turkey Day when the "finalist" awards start rolling in. It's kind of a "holiday tradition" for Colt McCoy.
The Maxwell Award (best-all around player) and Davey O'Brien Award (best college quarterback) finalist lists were announced today. Our man was on both of them, of course.
Tim Tebow is also a finalist for both, while Alabama's running back Mark Ingram joins the two for the Maxwell and former Abilene Wylie superstar QB and current Houston Cougar field general Case Keenum is the third finalist for the O'Brien.
I expect both Tebow and Colt will also be Heisman finalists, which will be announced on Dec. 9. The winner will be named at 7 p.m. on ESPN on Dec. 12.
Nothing against Alabama, but I hope they lose to the Gators so we can see those two great quarterbacks lead their teams against one another in Pasadena.
