Obviously Biased but I think Quentin Griffin in 2002 had 287 carries for 1,884 yards with 15 tds'. I think he deserves to be up there.

Also, thats back when the B12 played D

Running backs:

Darren McFaden
Kevin Falk
Nick Chubb - UGA tried to kill him
DeAngelo Williams
Adrian Petterson
Carnell Williams

The homer in me obviously thinks McFadden should have won it. Career numbers:

4,590 rushing yards, 41 TDs
356 receiving yards, 2 TDs
926 kick return yards, 1 TD
205 passing yards, 7 TDs to 1 INT

And he nearly played safety here lol

Without question Vince Young was the most deserving that did not win it.

Also surprised that Marshall Faulk never won it...........He had close to 6000 all purpose YDS in 3 seasons in college........Playing in a non power CONF likely did him in.

Probably. But remember back in those days the WAC was known for eye-popping offensive numbers because they didn't play defense.

He still should have won it in '92 over Gino Torretta though

not saying he should have won it but still kind of dumb that Cook with 5,400 career scrimmage yards and 48 TDs in 3 years never got invited into the top 3/5 to NYC.

For me it's Willis McGahee in 2002.
1,753 yards and 28td's

I see your video is titled "Willis McGahee - Can't Be Touched".

I would beg to differ:

Peyton Manning was the all time robbed of the Heisman winner.

He probably would have won it if he had beaten Florida but he never could.

So I can't say he was robbed.

This thread reminds of something Herbstreit said at what I believe was he 2001 Heisman ceremony.

He said if Ken Dorsey didn't win we'd be asking 10 years from then how a guy like him never won the heisman.

Don't think that one has aged well.

Always hurt at the wrong times.

DeShaun Watson.

Or some guy at some school that didn't get enough publicity for enough people to notice.
