Do you think Percy Harvin is out of the 2008 Heisman race? As much as it pains me to say this, I think he is. Through the first three Gator games (Harvin only active for 2) he has:
- 11 carries for 58 yards and 1 touchdown
- 3 receptions for 61 yards and 1 touchdown
Missing the first game didn’t hurt him as much as a balanced Gator offense has. Percy Harvin is still the dynamic threat we remember from last year. However, the 2008 Gators have a new offensive plan that doesn’t involved 95% Percy Harvin and Tim Tebow. They’re spreading the ball around to all their weapons.
I mean it is possible for Percy to still win a Heisman. If he gets 150+ total yards every game for the rest of the season, scores 15-20 touchdowns, has a Heisman moment, and the Gators go to a BCS game… then he can still win. Let’s hope it happens.
What do you think?

I doubt it. The only way he gets the trophy is if:
A. He complies crazy rushing stats and shows Heisman voters that he is more halfback than wideout.
OR
B. He becomes the team’s punt/kick returner and has a Heisman day in returning the ball. Which isn’t happening as long as Brandon James continues to kick butt and take names over there.
