Colt finished 3rd in the Heisman balloting.

Considering that: 1) Colt was injured for nearly 2 games; 2) Colt often plays when the rest of the country is sleeping; 3) Colt plays in the WAC, the 3rd place finish is certainly respectable, if not a great achievement.

At the same time, the two finalists who received votes ahead of Colt — Tebow and McFadden — have a combined total of 7 losses. Hawaii, of course, has 0.

At the Heisman ceremony, Colt was all class, saying good things about Tebow:

Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan finished third, the highest finish in 13 years by a player outside the six conferences with automatic BCS bids, and Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel finished fourth.

“I was reading all that Tebow accomplished,” Brennan said, “He had an unbelievable season. I really think he deserved it.”
