Texas quarterback Colt McCoy has a key factor going for him in the chase for the Heisman Trophy: He's injury-free through four games. Sam Bradford, last season's Heisman winner, hasn't played since injuring his shoulder in the first game. Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, the 2007 trophy winner, spent Saturday night in a hospital after a third-quarter concussion in the top-ranked Gators' win over Kentucky. Other contenders such as California tailback Jahvid Best have been knocked down by a poor game. He had just 55 yards in a 42-3 loss to Oregon. Even when he struggled with that two weeks ago, a halftime snack of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and grape Pedialyte, a children's hydration drink, helped him recover well enough to throw the game-clinching touchdown pass in a nationally-televised win over Texas Tech. How Tebow's injury will effect the Heisman chase is yet to be seen. Released from the hospital on Sunday, he'll be evaluated in the coming days to see if he can return for the Gators' next game Oct. 10 against LSU.
