Reggie Bush put up silly numbers too that year.
Which is why he "stood out." This helps my point. The MVP argument is hard to make for Bush, because he was on such a talented team. Vince Young, on the other hand, was clearly the MVP of his team and one of the most productive QBs in college football history.
There are other examples. If it were an MVP trophy, Drew Brees would have won over Chris Weinke. Larry Fitzgerald or Eli Manning over Jason White. Adrian Peterson over Matt Leinart. Darren McFadden over Troy Smith.
The list goes on.

again, you're far too wrapped up in semantics. The Hesiman trophy is an MVP award. The MVP, in other sports leagues, is not awarded to the most valuable player on his team. It is awarded to the player who puts up the best stats across said league. The Heisman trophy is no different. I really have no idea what you're even trying to argue. Stop getting caught up into the root meaning of what the MVP is "supposed"to mean or what the Hesiman voters are "supposed" to vote on. They all vote for the player with the best stats in any league around the world.
