I forgot Burrow was an answer to that question. But there is an earlier one that I have in mind.

According to Bleacher Report Vince Young was offered the Heisman retroactively, but turned it down.

Spurrier

Won Heisman in 66

Played LSU in 64
Played LSU and Tulane in 65

64 LSU and 65 LSU were two different teams, you didn’t say it had to be 3 different schools.

Interesting take, but sorry no cigar. You have only two more guesses.

I mean you can’t say I’m wrong because I met your parameters.

If you believe 64 and 65 LSU are different teams, then I have to add that this Heisman Trophy winner played against SIX different Louisiana college football teams.

Just a guess since he played in Louisiana:

Billy Cannon?

I cannot confirm he saw playing time in all 6 games, but I saw him play in one of the six games. I can confirm he was on the roster of the team that played all 6 games.

I don't think so - the only Louisiana team he played against was Tulane.

So then we can’t say he competed in those games. Another flaw in your question.

You’re not very good at this, are you?

I'm getting tired of this game; I have to drop a deuce and brush my teeth, so I'll check back later and award the prizes. Thank you for your participation.

Final Clue:

The Six Game

Sept 23, 1967 - McNease. L 7-15
Sept 30, 1967 - USL W 13-3
Nov 4, 1967 - Southeastern L 10-14

Sept 28, 1968 - USL L 35-39
Oct 19, 1968 - Southeastern W 30-16
Oct 26, 1968 - McNease W 54-13
