Peyton should have won it, I think they just wanted to give it to a defensive player. Not to disparage how good Woodson was, he was obviously great. But if Honey Badger's 2011 season doesnt get you a Heisman over RG3 then Woodson's season shouldnt have gotten him one over Peyton.

Although it is funny to bring up Manning winless against Florida and Memphis' only win against Tennessee in history came against Peyton as well.

Another tidbit, both Woodson and Manning entered the league and retired from them the same year. Woodson got the Heisman from Manning as well all know their senior years, then both their final years in the NFL Woodson picked off Manning twice in a game after having never picked him off their entire careers up to that point.
