2. Cam Newton, QB, Auburn (2010). If the season ended today, Newton would break the NCAA record for pass efficiency (188.1). He threw for 2,589 yards, ran for 1,409 and accounted for 49 touchdowns (including one receiving). Newton's 307.5 total yards per game isn't significantly higher than Luck's (290.8), but Newton has accounted for 18 more touchdowns and beaten six ranked opponents compared to one each for Luck and Moore.
quote:
3. Tim Tebow, QB, Florida (2007). Production-wise, Tebow's season holds a slight edge over Newton's. Tebow accounted for more total yards (321.6) and touchdowns (51) while posting a nearly identical 29-to-6 TD-to-interception ratio (Newton: 28-to-6) and a slightly lower passer rating (178.8). The difference: Tebow led his team to a 9-3 record, not a 13-0 mark, and had a more comparable peer in Oklahoma's Sam Bradford, that year's No. 1 passer.
quote:
24. Mark Ingram, RB, Alabama (2009). With all due respect, Ingram was the definition of "best running back or quarterback for the No. 1 team." As Heisman winners go, his season was not overly spectacular, rushing for 1,542 yards (118.6 per game) and 15 touchdowns. Runner-up Toby Gerhart of Stanford ran for 1,736 and 26 scores. The most dominant player in the country that year was Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh.

Are the Heisman trophys different, or all the same?

This is a practical joke.

If a defensive player has ever deserved to win it, it was Suh

Don't bring that weak shite in here. The trophies may be the same, but all Heisman seasons are not equal.

In 2012 Cam Newton was stripped of the Hesiman trophy for being involved in a pay for play scheme. It was only the second time in the history of the prestigous award that it had been stripped from a recipent.
FIFY

Derrick Thomas.
The man had 27 sacks in a single SEASON, for 204 yards in losses. He would hold the NCAA record for sacks in a career (52) and season (27), except the NCAA didn't chart defensive stats until 2000 (can you believe that shite???)
Because of this glaring omission, Arizona State's Terrell Suggs holds the NCAA sacks records for a career (44) and single season (24).
Defensive players just aren't given their due.
