I don’t think they could even cover him.

Springs was so good, he was an AA, B10 defensive POY, etc without having an INT.  That's some mad respect.

He only had three career, zero the year he won the Thorpe.

Congrats to Smith - great player had a great season.
.
The fact that Lawrence finished 2nd makes me think a lot of the voters still consider the Heisman to be a career award, though.

Which makes it even crazier that Woodson had 7 during his Heisman year

Yeah, that's just from having an overall great defense and a NC-to-be team making opponents play catch-up.  And running on them wasn't fun, either.

Down-ballot Heisman voting is a fun (crazy) study:
Going back to 1980 to now.....
1980:More people thought QB Neil Lomax of Portland State should win the Heisman than did Anthony Carter and Kenny Easley COMBINED.
1981:  3 people thought RB Rich Diana of Yale should win it over Marcus Allen or Herschel Walker, while rushing for fewer carries, yards, ypc, and TDs (vs Yale's schedule)
1982:  Dan Marino got 1 first-place vote in a season he threw 17 TDs and 23 INTs......also, Anthony Carter had his best Heisman showing (4th) in perhaps his worst season as a starter
1983:  Out of about 700 voters, only 6 thought the 'best' OL should win the Heisman (Fralic).  Only 7 thought the award should go to the 'best' DB (Hoage)
1984:  Fralic must have fallen off, as his support to win the Heisman fell to 1 single voter.
1985:  Sports Illustrated put their pseudo ballot on its cover, advocating for RB Joe Dudek of Plymouth State over Bo Jackson or Chuck Long.  Dudek would finish 9th, with 12 first-place votes (11 more than Thurman Thomas).
1986:  Three LBs appear in the top 10 of voting!  WTF??  9 thought Bosworth should win the Heisman, 3 chose Cornelius Bennett, and 5 picked Spielman....Auburn RB Brent Fullwood finished with just 4 first-place votes after a 1400 yard season @ 8.3 ypc, probably because he wasn't Bo.
1987:  The only FR player to finish in the top 10 since Herschel, Florida RB Emmitt Smith gets 2 first-place votes.
1988:  The news here isn't that Okie State RB Barry Sanders won, it's that 156 voters thought someone else should have won it over him....Alabama LB Derrick Thomas gets 3 first-place votes for a season with 27 sacks (unofficially)...and FSU CB Deion Sanders received zero first-place votes.
1989:  72 voters wanted to give ND QB Tony Rice the Heisman for a 2 TD pass, 9 INT season....MSU LB Percy Snow had 7 first-place votes, 4 more than ND WR Raghib Ismail, who did not have a single receiving TD, yet finished 10th in the voting.
.
That's a lot for now, I can do another decade if anyone cares to read it.
