Doak Walker win, no Heisman invite?

[ElTexan]

When's the last time a player won the Doak Walker without being a Heisman finalist that year?

 

[7Samurai13]

No idea, but playing on a bad team did him no favors.

 

[Across The Field]

2012

 

[Across The Field]

Also 2008, 2004, 2001, 1997, 1996, 1993, 1991, and 1990.

 

[DHoey]

Also 2008, 2004, 2001, 1997, 1996, 1993, 1991, and 1990.

so about 33% of the time

Exactly 1/3 of the time.

 

[7Samurai13]

Exactly 1/3 of the time.

But he's the only one to ever get screwed over.

 

[BigFin]

It's not like he's the best RB in the country.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

It's not like he's the best RB in the country.

He already won that award, that's not even debatable at this point.

2016 would be my best guess.

 

[Wild Turkey]

OP be mad.

 

[DHoey]

Actually being the "premier" running back is only 1/3rd of the selection criteria.

I thought the Heisman was about the best player, not team in the nation?

 

[MarkOU]

In order for any Texas player to be nominated for the Heisman they must beat OU. That is the only criteria. The entire season revolves around beating the land thieves. You should know this dummy.

I, and most people, wouldn't vote for a player who's on a shitty team. Themes the breaks. I was against ARod getting the MVP while at Texas because that team sucked with him it doesn't matter what they would have done without him.

Foreman benefited by playing weakasssssss Big 12 defenses.

Wait, didn't L'Ville drop 60 + pts on FSU's weak as fuck defense? Foreman would have had a record day against FSU....In fact, L'ville, Clemson and Pitt are averaging 40+ ppg in the ACC. Shit, Baylor scored at will against UNC last year.....

Wait...didn't Texas lose to Kansas this year? Well gotta run...

Sure did b/c we sucked this year. Not sure what that has to do with the ACC sucking at playing defense.

Because even the ACC plays better defense than the Big12.
