Apparently the Heisman snub has been around since the award's inception

I came across this link today, while looking at facebook. I had no idea that some of the winners, of the most prestigious award sports, posted such horrible numbers, during their Heisman campaign. Some of these are just head scratchers.

Looks like Notre Dame has been screwing people out of Heismans for years.

I don't think Tim Brown snubbed the Syracuse QB at all IMO.
Brown was an electric player. Sure, those numbers look average, but look at the era and offense in which he played. I don't think anybody can argue Tim Brown wasn't the best player in CFB that year.

I want to know why Melvin Gordon wasn't thought to have a chance. He rushed for the 4th-most yards in FBS history (and still has 1 game left to break the record). He broke the single-game rushing record in only 3 quarters. And his 7.6 yards per carry for his career is the most in FBS history.
He had a record-setting, monster season.

The Heisman is a joke.....it NOW goes to the best player on the best team. I would have had no problem with any of the 3 winning the award.
It also proves the bias that has been part of ND football from the beginning.

I got a bad feeling when Frazier got snubbed.
Tebow somehow finished third despite getting the most first place votes.

I dunno about hating on some of the winners from the mid 60s and earlier b/c a lot of those dudes played both ways. A&M's first winner John David Crow's numbers look pedestrian until you realize he was a beast on D as well.

quote:
1. Georgia RB Herschel Walker, 1980
The winner: South Carolina RB George Rogers
The skinny: Walker was a true freshman, and his third-place finish was considered remarkable for a guy his age. But he should've won: His presence helped Georgia win the national title. He ran for 1,616 yards and 15 TDs. How reliant were the Bulldogs on Walker? Georgia QB Buck Belue completed 77 passes all season, meaning Walker basically was a one-man offense for a team that won the national title. Rogers had a good season, no question, with 1,781 yards and 14 TDs. But his season wasn't as good as Walker's. (Pitt DE Hugh Green finished second, and he was more deserving than Rogers, too. But not as deserving as Walker.)
Our QB completed 83 passes that season. So, using their logic, Rogers was basically a one-man offense as well.

No way Notre Dame and Ohio State have been given preferential treatment.. No way.
