Ultimately he let that slip away on Saturday

He ran for 113 yards against what was supposed to be one of the nations most stout defensive units. To go along with that 100-yard performance, he amassed two receptions for 76 yards.While he may be the best pure running back in the land, Ingram is also the beneficiary of a great offensive line and at least competent quarterback play. Besides, there was the absence of a break away threat in the Florida attack that wouldn't let Tebow surpass his Heisman-like numbers from the previous two season.McCoy started slow but picked up the pace after a sub-par performance against Oklahoma in a 16-13 grinding of a win. One of the two happened, he did come away with a win.McCoy was harassed, intercepted three times, and ultimately almost cost his team the game on a controversial review that Husker fans and Longhorn fans view very differently.Colt threw for only 184 yards on only 58 percent completion percentage. They won in spite of his play; in fact some might say that they overcame his play to win the game, aided by a kick out of bounds and a horse collar tackle.McCoy has a shot, but it's a long shot.

He was out-shined by fellow Heisman candidate Suh in the game and was literally outplayed by him as well. It will be hard to objectively vote to put McCoy above Suh, since Suh basically ran him to the ground in Dallas.Right now, it looks like McCoy is going to stay somewhere between three and four in the votes, mostly because of his two games against good defenses.His combined statistics for games against Oklahoma and Nebraska were 41-of-75 (54 percent), 311 yards, 1 TD, 4 INT, and 53 yards rushing. Hardly Heisman numbers, and that's why he's on the outside looking in at the moment..

Tebow looked confused, upset, and depressed as Alabama's defense held him in check for most of the game. When given a chance to "will" his team to victory one last time, Tebow crumbled, throwing an uncharacteristic interception in the end zone to the shortest guy on the field in Javier Arenas for the Crimson Tide and failing to convert when it mattered most late in the game.The 32-13 loss ruined any hopes of a national title for the Gators and seemingly any hopes of a Heisman for Tebow. He got the invite, though, and will make the trip to New York an unprecedented third year in a row.Tebow is on the outside looking in. He should just enjoy another free trip to NYC and concede the loss to one of the other four C.J Spiller got shafted on an opportunity to go to New York. He wouldn't have won it, but he definitely deserved to be there.Unlike Tebow, Spiller "willed" his team to an ACC championship, scoring touchdowns, rushing, receiving, passing, and handling the punt and kickoff returnsthat's five different ways to put six on the board.If Spiller would have started a few games in the secondary, he probably would have returned a fumble and an interception back for a touchdown, too.He has an uncanny ability to find the end zone, and it will be interesting to see what Clemson does without him this year. It's a shame that he didn't make it in either over Tebow or McCoy because this is definitely the best overall player on the offensive side of the ball in the nation.If he played for USC, he would be number one in the ballots for sure.

The Caps remain the only team in the NHL to remain perfect against their division rivals, now 7-0 against the Southeast. The game marked the return of Alexander Ovechkin, the greatest player on the planet, after a two game suspension. Ovechkin responded by scoring two goals to lead the Caps offensively.The first period ended in a scoreless tie, both teams garnering 7 shots on goal. The Caps really did not look that impressive in the first period.Second period was much different.
