Thats some bullshite ESPN started with the "best in the nation that year"... i have yet to see any legit documented evidence that that is the sole criteria for the Heisman.

This is straight from the Heisman Mission Statement from their website... says nothing about single year accomplishment.

The Heisman trophy is basically the equivalent of the NFL's MVP.
Here's the definition:
quote:
The trophy is given annually to the most outstanding college football player in the National Collegiate Athletic Association, and is awarded by the Heisman Trust, successors of the awards from the Downtown Athletic Club at an annual ceremony at the Nokia Theatre in New York City.
That means that the best player in the country gets the award.

From the Heisman website, which by the way I had never read before:
Based on this criteria the ONLY correct choice is AJ. Says NOTHING about the MOST outstanding player. I agree AJ doesn't fit that criteria, but more than any of the others he fits the written criteria for the award
quote:
The Heisman Memorial Trophy annually recognizes the outstanding college football player whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence with integrity. Winners epitomize great ability combined with diligence, perseverance, and hard work. The Heisman Trophy Trust ensures the continuation and integrity of this award. The Trust, furthermore, has a charitable mission to support amateur athletics and to provide greater opportunities to the youth of our country. Our goal through these charitable endeavors is for the Heisman Trophy to symbolize the fostering of a sense of community responsibility and service to our youth, especially those disadvantaged or afflicted.
