Funny I could remember McNown but not McNair.Have to go back and look them all up.On the 1994 trio I almost took Curtis Ennis as he was from Ohio and went to PSU also.John Cooper missed a bunch of those kids

Garrison Hurst is another I couldn't connect him to Gawja for some reason.But MH did,provided that's accurate

Of all the Byu QBs, it's hard to believe that Ty Detmer was the one that won it.

LOL.  I read ND WR as ND QB for some reason.  So my number 2 for 1990 would have obviously been Ismail.

I'm sure he's not alone, but Wuerffel's Heisman didn't happen in his best year.  Oh those silly voters.

Post by: MarqHusker on June 03, 2018, 11:12:35 PM
Obviously I think Frazier was more deserving than Eddie, it was by no means egregious.

I think the '92 Heisman to Toretta was the only rotten selection.  Definitely a 'QB on the #1 Team' winner.    I was a big Marshall Faulk honk,  his problem was being a Sophomore (this was still the 'can't have a Fr/So. win the heisman era) and he played on the west coast, late, and in a league that nobody saw, on a .500 team.   The Canes and Aztecs actually played in the final game of the season @SDSU, and.....Faulk didn't play (sprained knee or ankle IIRC).  The game was an absolute beatdown, 63-14 or something.   Faulk still led the NCAA in rushing (again).  Toretta's season numbers were meh.  I don't think he threw for 20 TDs on the season.  Of course, I hated the Canes, so there's some bias talking.

Hearst was a very respectable 3rd.  T. Davis was also on that roster.  That was a pretty good UGA team, during the era where they could not figure out how to beat Spurrier.   Zeier was QB, ok, Andre Hastings was a pretty good WR.   Good defense.   They beat the Buckeyes in one of those Fla bowls.
