I'm not that old, but I grew up in a Stanford household, my dad was at Stanford when Plunkett was there, and he was a 49er and a Raider.

I only remember because I looked up whether Elway won it because I wasn't paying a whole lot of attention to CFB back then, other than the Big 10.

Odd no one picked Steve Young for BYU, in the same manner as Elway for Stanford.

QBs didn't always win back in Steve Young's day

I guessed Elway for Stanford, one of my wrong guesses in my vanished post.

sure seemed like he earned it at the Rose Bowl, but Hypesman awarded before the bowls

At the 2016 Rose Bowl, Stanford's Christian McCaffrey delivered a legendary performance, setting a new Rose Bowl record for all-purpose yards , scoring touchdowns on a 75-yard catch and a 66-yard punt return, and capping his historic season as Heisman runner-up.

Haha, a lot of guesses in the bottom half of my list.

I think Tim Brown is the first winner I actually remember. Everything prior to that is a history lesson.

Outside of SMU's 30 for 30, my knowledge of SWC football is 0.0. LT for TCU was a complete guess, Andre Ware was 50/50.

I had Akili Smith down for Oregon until the last minute.

I don't pay enough attention to the Heisman to be able to play this game.  But I like naming teams that don't end in "s."

Yeah, there's a reason I didn't even attempt to play this game... I didn't follow any CFB before about 1996, so I had a feeling there were a whole lot of past winners I'd barely even heard of, if I'd heard of them at all.

I'm pretty sure I've heard of Jim Plunkett. Wouldn't for the life of me had been able to tell you he'd won a Heisman, or what school he played for, or what decade he played in, or what he went on to do in the NFL, if anything... If I have heard of him, it probably means he played in the NFL at some point though.
Same.

I only knew Detmer because (according to Aggie Legend) BYU complained when they got paired up with A&M in the 1990 (or was it '91?) Holiday Bowl  I guess they had bigger plans?  Anyways, it must have really pissed off RC and the team, because they absolutely destroyed BYU, like 60 something to 14 or something.  They say they battered Ty so badly he separated his shoulder.  This was in the late 80's early 90's when A&M was winning the conference championship (SWC days) a lot and 9/10 vs Texas.  Apparently they also f'd up Ware pretty good at UH a couple of times as well.

The Wrecking Crew separated both of Ty Detmer's shoulders that day.  First, his non-throwing arm, so he kept on playing.  Until he separated the other one.

That was a brutal game-- for BYU.

Geez I wish I was around.  I missed the best era of Aggie Football by about 4 years.  Maybe two, because 1994 was a good one as well.  My first year, 96, we were 6-6.

I remember watching that game and rooting for the Aggies
