Cliff: Heisman talk Comments
As a Heisman Trophy voter, I’m stumped looking at the results. The winner wasn’t even on my ballot.
Why? We’ll Alabama’s Mark Ingram isn’t even the best RB in the nation, let alone the best player.
Stanford RB Toby Gerhart won the Doak Walker Award, which goes to the nation’s top RB. He was the best choice, and I had a vote on that one, too.
Really, Gerhart and Oregon State’s Jacquizz Rodgers were better RB picks.
As for the others, Texas QB Colt McCoy won the Maxwell Award (most outstanding player), Walter Camp (player of the year), Davey O’Brien (QB of the year) and Unitas (QB of the year).
Nebraska’s Nhamukong Suh swept the defensive player of the year awards. By far, he was the dominating defensive guy in years.
Who where other better picks? Boise State’s Kellen Moore, BYU’s Max Hall and Houston’s Case Keenum.
So what happened here?
