Guess the 2 running backs, and guess which one won the Heisman...

RUNNING BACK A) 306 attempts, 1986 yards, 16TD's, 6.5 YPA, 25 receptions for 287 yards and 2 TD's against 4 teams that finished in the top 25
RUNNING BACK B) 339 attempts, 1986 yards, 23TD's, 5.9 YPA, 10 receptions for 97 yards and 0TD's against 4 teams that finished in the top 25

Sam B. Richardson?

I thought McCaffery was better but Henry broke the SEC rushing record and played against better defenses.

When Klein didn't win I lost all respect for the award.

Even though Manziel had better numbers across the board? Bishop and Sproles we're much bigger ripoffs.

IIRC, A&M had a pretty light schedule that year, outside of the 'Bama upset, and all those big numbers came from their powderpuff non-con. If someone can find it, i thought K-State pulled the numbers versus ranked (or top 50?) opponents, and comparing those numbers to Manzels blew Johnny out of the water.

This. He had a groundswell of flavor of the month Jeremy Lin/ Stephen Strasburg like support from a bunch of nerdy sports guys whose best arguments were along the lines of "he has a really cool nickname."

Klein had the heisman won until the Baylor game. Even after the TCU game where his numbers were meh he was still considered the frontrunner.

good point. Maybe it was the timing of that game more than anything. I think back to 98, and Ricky Williams' crappy game against us didn't hurt him too much. Manti Teo wasn't going to win it.

Wasn't he that QB we spanked in the 2012 Cotton Bowl?

Yeah - he was good. Which NFL team does he play for, again?

If there's anything we've learned from college to NFL transitions, it's how NFL accomplishments relate college value. Know who told me that?

Matt Jones*

*FWIW, he then skulked off to a bathroom and did 9 lines of cocaine.

ok, I did a google search for you (we have Google Fiber up here. You'll hear about it in 10 years, maybe). Looks like Matt Jones last suited up for Cincinnati in 2010.
