The correct answer is Mark Ingram. Suh was unreal that year. He alone had more tackles and sacks than Gumps entire defensive line combined.

quote:

As a senior, Suh led Nebraska in tackles for the second straight season with 85 tackles, the most by a defensive lineman since 1974...He also led the team in tackles for loss (24), sacks (12), quarterback hurries (26) and blocked kicks (3)

Ingram was deserving but thought Gerhart or Suh were more so.

Grossman over Crouch

McFadden over Smith

JaMarcus had a better season than Smith.

18 tfl and 7.5 sacks coming in to the Big 12 Championship. His campaign was built off one game

Pretty interesting because at the time, he had the largest margin of 1st place votes for any winner.

I though McClain was a far better and more impactful player for Alabama than Ingram.

TM7 in 2011 is another defender who had a game changing impact for his team.

I’ll throw in Smith this year - not because of him personally - but because they shouldn’t have awarded a Heisman this year

Midwest bias was real. Same thing cost Peyton back in ‘97.

CFB writer logic:


2006 - well, an underclassmen has never won the Heisman, so we have to give it to Troy Smith, thus fricking over McFadden.


2007 - Tim Tebow should be the first underclassmen to ever win the award, thus fricking over McFadden yet again.


Reason #8,112 why the media in this country are nothing but hacks.


And yes, Suh should have also won the Heisman based on the Big 12 title game that year alone. I've never seen a more dominant performance in a college game by a defensive player.

Troy Smith had an incredibly worthy Heisman season if he played in the 80s.

2006 and Troy Smith was the year ESPN jumped the shark for good.

They crowned him in August and didn't give anyone else any consideration the whole season which drove the result.
