Rick Leach with 1,283 passing yards and 72 points scored, won the Chicago Tribune Silver Football trophy as the most valuable player in the Big Ten Conference, finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting, and was selected by the American Football Coaches Association as a first-team All-American in a tie with Chuck Fusina.

luckily Rick could hit a curveball

I just created 1963 Kansas - a .500 team featuring Gale Sayers.
Which recent college football player is like he was?  I never saw him play, aside from highlight videos.

But can he hold his jock??

I don't think people realize how great Bush's Heisman season was.  He averaged 8.7 ypc on 200 carries!  That is nuts!  
Only one player EVER had as high a yards per carry average with as many carries, and it was a at G5 school with a G5 schedule.
