Who will win The Stiff Arm?

The Finalists were announced for the most coveted individual trophy in all of sports. They are:

1) Colt McCoy, QB Texas
2) Sam Bradford, QB BoomerSooners
3) Superman...er, Timmy Tebow, QB Gators

I've said on this site in the past that I think that the award will be handed over to Colt McCoy because the voters feel that Texas had been robbed of their shot at playing Mizzoo in the Big (no pass defense) Twelve conference championship game. For the past two weeks, all the TV college football pundits have been talking about how McCoy has done more with less. So, with this logic, I have predicted Colt to walk away with this thing. But wait.

This would break away from one of my cardinal rules of Nudgedom. With this way of thinking, I'm giving the writers who vote on this award and this sport way too much credit for actually knowing what is going on, and that's something I never do.

So let's look at this thing from another perspective. All previous recipients of the award get a vote. So let's look at how some of the past winners will vote:

Earl Campbell, Ricky Williams will definitely going McCoy's way.

Wuerfful and Tebow will definitely voting Superman's way.

Jason White and Billy Sims will be going for Bradford.

Okay, so maybe that won't work. Let's look at it from another perspective: Stats.
The majority of the voters probably watched about ten college football games this year on average. So they'll probably rely their vote on stone cold stats.

Bradford has 4464 yards passing, 68.3% completion percentage, an unbelievable 48 passing TD's with a rating of 186.

The "Awe shucks" kid from Tuscola Texas has 3445 yards passing, 77% completion percentage, 32 passing TD's with a 179 rating. He does have 576 rushing yards with 10 rushing TD's.

Former Heisman Winner, Timmy Tebow has 2515 yards passing, with a 64.9% completion percentage with 28 passing TD's with a 176 QB rating. He rushed for 564 yards with 12 rushing TD's.

All right, that doesn't predict anything either. So just what do we have that's going to decide this thing. Let's look at it The Nudge Way.

Who has the hotter girlfriend?

This is Colt McCoy's girlfriend on the left. She's a track and field athlete that goes to Baylor. She's studying journalism.

And this is Tim Tebow's girl, according to the Internet. Nice Warlocks!

There is no information about Bradford's love cushion

So, whenever The Nudge doesn't know the answer to a question, I only ask one question:

"What would Tom Cruise do?"

And the answer..... Bradford walks away with the stiff arm. Me and Tom Cruise both think too many voters are going to look at his insane numbers and be blown away with the difference between 48 TD's and 32. Plus, Bradford's playing for the crystal, and that seems to influence the voters since 2003.

The Best uniforms ever, of any sport in history. Army this past week rocked the Camo look. The Nudge thinks that Army should make this look a permanent part of their wardrobe
