Some particulars on the voting as posted on the Big Red Today blog on omaha.com

Here are some particulars of the voting:

 

– Suh was named on 388 of 904 ballots (42.9 percent). Ingram was named on 67.9 percent, Gerhart on 67.1 percent and third-place finisher Colt McCoy on 60 percent.

 

– The point breakdown among the finalists: Ingram (1,304), Gerhart (1,276), McCoy (1,145), Suh (815) and Florida's Tim Tebow (390). They were followed by Clemson C.J. Spiller (223), Kellen Moore of Boise State (100), Case Keenum of Houston (37), Cincinnati's Mardy Gilyard (23) and Golden Tate of Notre Dame (21).

 

– Suh won the southwest region of Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas with 254 points, ahead of McCoy and Ingram. But Suh finished fourth in the other five regions. Gerhart won the far west. Ingram won the south, midwest, northeast and mid-atlantic.

 

– Nebraska's defensive performance against Texas in the Big 12 championship game appeared to take the Heisman away from McCoy. He finished well ahead of Gerhart and Ingram among 100 ballots that were cast in the first weeks. McCoy slipped to third in votes cast during the final week. Tebow was third, ahead of Suh and Ingram, until the final week.

 

– Fifteen players received first-place votes, 17 received second-place votes and 29 were voted in third place. A total of 34 players were named on ballots.

 

– Of the 926 ballots distributed, 904 were cast and tabulated.

 
Roll tide more than ever now! Hope they pick off mccoy 5 times and knock him out of the game.
Why? So the Husker's defensive performance against Texas seems less impressive? So we can hear commentators say, "see, they don't play defense in the Big XII, teams in that conference would be lucky to score a single TD in the SEC."

The overriding story coming out of the Big XII championship was not Nebraska's overwhelming defense; it was that suddenly Texas's offense became completely inept. That's bullsh#t. I hope Texas torches 'Bama, puts up 60 against them. It would demonstrate that NU's D is for real.
