Heisman Watch: Finally some Tebow love!

In a post last week, I mentioned that Tim Tebow didn't seem to be getting the Heisman attention he deserved, especially considering he is basically already a household name for any college football fan around the nation. But today, it seems he is finally getting some positive notoriety in the Heisman watch. In article for ESPN, Pat Forde gave a profile for the top teams in the nation, including the Gators, and said this:

Tim Tebow, Florida. Has lived up to the hype so far, which is nearly impossible. Expected to be the world's greatest quarterback, he nearly has been. He's accounted for 13 touchdowns with arms and feet, and a big performance against LSU's bulletproof defense Oct. 6 could push him into the lead.

Furthermore, on their "Heisman Watch" homepage, ESPN put Tebow at #3 on the list:

3. Tim Tebow, Florida
Tebow answered a lot of questions about his strength, composure, decision-making, ability to lead and overall talent on Saturday. Tennessee is never an easy team to play, even if you have home-field advantage. Tebow led the Gators to a 59-20 thrashing of the Vols, and although you could make the argument that Tennessee isn't as good as many expected, Tebow's 299 passing yards and four touchdowns (two rushing) are still very impressive numbers. If the Gators survive a harrowing three consecutive weeks on the road (at LSU, at Kentucky, at Georgia), Tebow will be the reason -- and will be very deserving of a trip to New York.

So, now that Tebow is getting the attention he deserves, can he continue to live up to the hype? A few more big tests in the SEC will tell, especially the big match up at LSU on Oct. 6. It's time for Tebow to put on his cape.
