I think one thing we all may be guilty of is that if a guy didn't do something, we assume he couldn't.  That's unfair - not because it hurts someone's feelings, but because the player in question might've been great at something he never had a chance to showcase.
That's true, but when you've seen someone do it and you know they can, it's easy to give them credit for it. It's a known vs. and unknown, and if you had to pick one to handle that situation, you'd pick the one you know can handle it.

The Tennessee loss wasn't his fault, but the Auburn one was.

Auburn wasn't ranked :)

The Tennessee loss was on the defense, but the Vols pooped the bed in the SECCG their next game.  But if Rex had been a JR or SR, he'd have run away with the Heisman, imo.  I think for a while there, many voters viewed the Heisman as a career award, even though it's explicitly not.  

The Orange Bowl vs Maryland was fun, because Grossman didn't play the first quarter and a half.  It's 14-10 and he comes in, Florida goes on a 35-0 run.
