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?

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

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.

I didn't see a Manning on the list.

Gerhart was twice the back Jackson was. Look at the TD's.
