Hunter deserved it. Jeanty wins it any other year which is unfortunate for him
Jeanty was good, but it was against significantly inferior competition. I honestly think Sheduer should have been there instead of Gabriel and Ward. Gabriel was only up there IMO because he was the QB on the #1 team. He was inferior to Sanders in every stat.
Not really sure how you can make an argument on either over Sanders other than maybe you didn’t like his attitude.
Deserved it. Is he as good as Woodson? I don't think so but it's pretty cool seeing a 2 way player get the recognition again.
Jeanty had a great year, but Hunter being top 5 at two positions on both sides of the ball at this level is special.
Before it became political and not objective. Troy Davis 96 and 97 2K+ yards each year
Maybe it changed before that time but IMHO I've never viewed it the same since. I'm assuming your a millennial or Gen z... good ******* luck to you
There has never been a Heisman winner on a team that didn’t finish .500 or better. Was he deserving? Sure. But it’s not like Wuerfell was a scrub though, at the time, 39 TDs ranked 4th all time for a season in college football history.
So you saw many more Heismans before 1997 but didn't see anything a little weird?
I think I'm a millennial but in 2024 about anyone can Google 'Controversial Heisman winners' and read up on it.
Start with Jim Brown.
Just looked up a few things...Notre Dame was 2-8 when Paul Hornung won it.
One of the rare times it actually goes to the best player in the country instead of a QB throwing to a bunch of stud receivers.
Missed that one. But, I think only one thing matters in that is “Notre Dame”.
If he played for any other team, he’s not winning it.
I don’t believe in any Heisman since 1956. Rigged.
Yeah 1956 is when it started to be so political, ya know?
Before that though everything in the world was perfect.
