Many of these are a guess

Iowa -Nile Kinnick
Pitt - Tony Dorsett
Baylor - RG3

BYU -?? I think it was the QB IN 1991 but drawing a blank
Cuse - ?? Jim Brown?
BC - Doug Flutie
UCLA - ?? Troy Aikman?
Chicago - Jay Berwanger
Houston- Andre Ware
OK St - Barry Sanders
Louisville -?? Teddy Bridewater or else maybe the guy who is Ravens QB now.  Drawing a blank.
Oregon - Mariota
TCU - ?? drawing a blank,  the guy the running back trophy is named for. Played in the 40's.
Minn - ??
Ore St - ??
Penn St -?? I think the RB on the 94 team
SMU - ?? Eric Dickerson?
Stanford -  John Elway
Princeton - ??
C? - ??

Memory is a funny thing.  What are some that I got wrong?

BYU-  Ty Detmer won in 1990 as a junior,  and returned as BYU QB in 1991, but did not repeat as Heisman winner.

Cuse -  was Ernie Davis,  not Jim Brown

Penn St - John Cappiletti in 1973.  Funny thing is I now remember the made for TV movie Tears for Joey about his brother who died from cancer

TCU -  Davey OBrien.  I got him mixed up with Doak Walker.  I though Doak Walker went to TCU.  Davey OBrien of course has a QB trophy name after himself.

SMU-  Doak Walker,  not Eric Dickerson.  Of course the award for best running back is named after Doak Walker but I did not know he went to SMU

Louisville- Lamar Jackson.  Its funny how Jackson won the Heisman and has won MVP in the NFL yet I have the hardest time remembering his name.  Yet I can easily remember Teddy Bridgewater's name.  Like I said, memory is funny.

Baylor RG3
BYU Ty Detmer
Syracuse. Either Jim Brown or Ernie Davis?  As I recall, Ernie died right after the season. 
BC Flutie
UCLA no idea. Aikman best guess. 
Cincinnati no idea. 
UH Ward?. I don’t know why I can’t remember his name, he does TV broadcasts and he won in 1991. 
Iowa Got nothing. I assume it was a long time ago.
Louisville QB for Ravens. Lamar ….? 
Oregon Got nothing. 
oSU Barry Sanders
Minnesota ancient history. No idea 
Oregon State no idea 
TCU Davey O’Brien 
Penn St no idea. 
SMU no idea.  Maybe Dickerson
Pittsburgh RB, early 80’s. 
South Carolina no idea 
Stanford no idea. Trying to remember, maybe one of the QB’s in the nfl like Steve Young?  I just remembered John Elway.

I think it's fun that many of us have TCU and SMU linked in our minds, know their winners were way back (if not Dickerson), but kind of mix them up.  We know Doak Walker because of the award, but which of the pair of schools he was with is tricky.  Plus the 'other guy' has a prominent trophy, too, makes it hard.

Troy Aikman getting a lot of love in place of someone else.

The Oregon State winner was the first winner west of the Mississippi, later led the basketball team to the Final 4 that spring, and then led the last college all-star football team that beat the NFL champion, when they did such things.  And yes, he was the #1 pick in the NFL draft. 

Dude was a baller.
