Southlake Native Chase Daniel A Heisman Finalist

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) ― Missouri quarterback and Southlake native Chase Daniel is headed to New York as a Heisman Trophy finalist.

   That's the word from Tigers coach Gary Pinkel. An official announcement of the five finalists is scheduled for tomorrow night, but the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports Pinkel told Missouri fans last night that his junior QB made the cut.

   In his second year as a starter, the former Southlake Carroll star has thrown 33 touchdowns and more than 4,100 yards in leading No. 7 Missouri to one of the best seasons in school history.

   The 11-2 Tigers will face No. 25 Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl in Dallas on New Year's Day. The game marks Missouri's first January 1st bowl game in nearly four decades.

   The bowl game will likely match a pair of Heisman finalists. Razorback running back Darren McFadden is last year's Heisman runner-up. He's also expected to earn an invitation to the Downtown Athletic Club for Saturday's selection, along with Florida quarterback Tim Tebow.
