Has the Heisman Ever Been This One-Sided?

With Jordan Lynch going down it seems like no one else even earned a trip to New York.

Jordan lynch is You can't be in the Heisman discussion if you go 5-17 for 39 yards vs a 1-11 Western Michigan team on a Tuesday night in Nov.

Yes but not very often. Jameis should be 90%+ of 1st place votes.

@His_Excellence_Reincar is obsessed with him but I know he will be missing for awhile now. At least speaking on Heisman talk.

Someone find Reincar so I can make sense of all this Heisman talk. Where is Reincar!?

Yeah, he did but I mean was it debatable prior to him winning? I do not follow the Heisman much but it doesn't seem like there was a time when it couldn't either way between players.

Rex should have won in a damn landslide in 2001

I guess you're too young to remember....

Rex Grossman, a sophomore, played out of his mind. He threw for under 300 yards just once (295) in the SEC! The 295 yards came against Florida St.

This is another instance of voters bias against underclassmen and someone winning the award based on career achievement.

In any other year, Grossman probably would have taken the honor. He completed 65.6 percent of his passes for 3,896 yards and 34 touchdowns (against 12 interceptions), far surpassing the numbers of the remaining finalists. His 55 TD passes through his sophomore season are the most in NCAA history.

Yet that also seemed to be the primary problem, that Grossman is a sophomore. In the final weeks before the voting deadline, more than one voter remarked that a sophomore probably couldn't (shouldn't?) win the award.

"If I was a senior, who knows?" Grossman said.

To his credit, the Bloomington, Ind., native remained ever gracious. He said that finishing second in this situation didn't hurt nearly as badly as finishing second in -- i.e., losing -- a game. He credited Crouch for being an outstanding player and a winner. He kept saying that he doesn't focus on individual hardware.

"In the back of my mind I thought it was possible for me to win, but everything told me Eric Crouch was going to win," Grossman said. "I think anytime you have a career [for people to look back at], voters feel more confident voting for you. Next year, I'll be old enough to have a career."
