Okla Sooners with back to back Heisman winners
- Thread starter Richard the LIONhearted
- Start date
In that conference that’s not too shocking.
IMHO, Tua had it all wrapped up until the Georgia game.
Haven’t seen any analysis of the voting, but I bet the “early” voters had Tua winning by a pretty decent margin.

It's hard to claim being the game's most outstanding player when your backup outplays you in the conference championship game.
Not really. Murray was the betting favorite going into tonight.
Without Kyler OU is an 8-4 team....
Without Tua Bama is a 13-0 team....
Kyler deserved it

Without Grier, WVU would have been 5-6 at best. If that’s the criteria, then Grier should have won it running away.
Well, 4 of 878 voters agreed with you!
Of 878 voters, only 16 voted for someone other than Murray, Tua and Haskins.
Because the award has come down to stats....which is why Oklahoma QB’s have won it in back to back years. Might as well keep giving it to the QB of the best team in the Big 12 since they rack up the best stats when they’re playing against no defense.
I look at the Heisman Trophy a bit like I look at the Grammy Awards. Neither goes to the best in their field. How many years did some nauseating pop group (e.g., Air Supply) win a Grammy while the Stones, the Who, Bob Dylan, you name the meaningful artist, were not even getting nominated. Saquon was by FAR the best player in CFB last year, but he never got a sniff of the Heisman.
That’s true and you can’t blame him....although many of the WVU fans blame him and of course many of them blame him for the loss to Oklahoma, so they’re obviously not that bright.
I’m all out of love and I’m so lost without you I know you were right believing for so long.
Don’t know about you but at high school dances i danced with girls more for that song than dancing to The Who.
I’m just surprised Rashan Gary didn’t win. He spent so much time being better than Meteoric YGM that he made it look as easy as if he was doing nothing.
Gave up watching in ‘94. Rashad Saleem over Kijana Carter ( one Hail Mary early in season on TV against Michigan sealed it) right! Slould be given after bowl games. How did Marcus Allen, Hershel Walker (Warner was better) and Vinny Testeverde (Dozier was better) fare against us in bowl games. Last year the best player was Saquan Barkley and he didn’t even get an invite.
I agree with you - and if you aren’t on a CFP Team you probable can’t win - the Heisman jumped the shark when Gino Toretta won it - I didn’t even know it was presented last night. Few people care anymore since they know it’s a joke.
The Heisman jumped the shark when Mushmouf won it
Yep. I'd be on board with renaming it to something along those lines.
Double yep.
Just for the fun of it I checked out the wiki on John Heisman and stumbled upon this piece of info that I never knew before:
"He (John Heisman) had a flat nose due to being struck in the face by a football, when he tried to block a kick against Penn State by leap-frogging the center."
And he's not even playing football at the next level. Heading to the diamond.

Had a high school acquaintance who did that as well. He loved the slow dances. Gave him the opportunity to leave an impression of his "package" on the midsection of many an unsuspecting female. Girls either loved him or hated him. Mostly the latter.
