Sullivan was unbelievable while at AU in the 70s considering it was not he pass happy league it was today. In fact, Sullivan was the only non RB in the top 5 in voting that year. If you are going to call Sullivan as one of the wors Heisman trophy winners you are a moron. He set the NCAA record at the time for a single season YD/Play average.

I agree with Archie's second Heisman.

The point I was making is that Mark Ingram's season was the worst field of Heisman contenders in a generation. He wouldn't have won it in any other year in the past 5 and probably wouldn't have even come second.

I am not arguing that he wasn't a good RB at Bama, just that of all the RBs you have had in the past few decades, I wouldn't call him the best or most deserving of the heisman

Not the year he won the Heisman.

Heisman voting was done before the AU Bama game that year where Sullivan got skull drug to the tune of 31-7. If Heisman voting was done after the regular season, he never would have won.

And then Sullivan's pro career was a joke. He rode the bench for 4 years and then was cut.

Racked up career stat line of:

42%
1155 yards
5 TDs
16 INTs

He was terrible
