Jim brown hater.

Go suck on Paul Hornung.

Go look up the Rose Bowl stats too.

I know more about those USC teams than you do. You just watched ESPN highlights and went gaga thinkink VY beat an all -time great defense.

Live in fantasy land old man.

Leinart had just a good of game as Young but a worse defense. Look at the stats you dense mythological thinking fart. You think Young won that game by himself?

Was he on D on 4th and 2. frick idiots sell Texas short and give praise to one man who had a statistically low game in the Rose Bowl that year.

Let go of ESPN mythology and actually read stats for that year regartdo. But you don't see facts, just highlights and confetti of VY romping into the end zone.

Never mind he almost threw the easiest Int to end the game 3 plays earlier but USCs D was so retarded they had walk-ons in the secondary that just knocked it down.

And why do you think Paul Hornung was better than Jim Brown? Talk about stupid.

If the Heisman was awarded after the bowl season, Deshaun Watson would have won it in 2016 (his performance in 2015 while losing to Alabama might have done it, too). For as pedestrian as he was for stretches in 2016, his playoff performance was ridiculous.

Bubba Smith. Michigan State
Christian McCaffrey. Stanford
Peyton Manning. Tennessee. He was robbed clearly, but Woodson had some awesome games on national television. His one handed INT against MSU was replayed constantly.

I feel like his punt return against Ohio State sealed it for him, much like Desmond Howard's punt return against Ohio State in 1991.

I’d think those Tennessee teams during the Peyton Years were talented enough to beat UF at least one of those seasons, no? I mean THEY BEAT UF the year after Peyton joined the pros lol.

His losing to FLA every year didn’t help his cause, but the year after he left that Tenn team was loaded.And it was because of Peyton.

Thank you. It annoys me when people talk about the ‘98 team like they were a bunch of table scraps. Offensive line was terrific. WR was a strength. Backfield, even after Jamal Lewis popped his knee was great. And the defense was flat awesome.

Awesome player who should have been invited to the Heisman ceremony, but nowhere near close to being the best in football in 1988. That was the year Barry Sanders went ham.

The difference in those games was always that Florida got a consistent pass rush on Manning and Tennessee let Wuerffel and Doug Johnson have 12 days to sit back in the pocket and throw the ball.

These games are on YouTube and you can see Manning running for his life on a lot of his dropbacks.

There is another element to this that is never talked about. In those Florida/Tennessee games, the team who ran the ball best always won except for the 2000 game when Tennessee kicked a bunch of FGs in the red zone.

Florida outrushed Tennessee in all three of those games (1995-1997) with Manning at QB for Tennessee.

It is still hard for me to piece together that Desmond Howard was an MVP of a Super Bowl

Because he is so fricking stupid on TV
