Name the last time your backfield had two Heisman candidates and who were they?

We have Trinidad and Lacy both Heisman candidates.

How did it work out also would be a good follow up.

Ole Miss has exactly 0 Heisman winners and you think you have 2 that can win now?

Not backfield, but Johnny Manziel and Mike Evans - we went 8-4 behind our 96th ranked defense allowing 32 ppg.

Nothing to do with me. They both are in fact Heisman candidates.

Coach Bryant was not a Heisman Trophy fan.

Not sure Coach Saban favors it either, but the recruits love that shite over a NC ring.

Brang yo arse to the North Mississippi Hill Country Blues Picnic at the end of June and shake it. Look it up. You will love it but bring your heat gear.

2020 Alabama had the 1st (Devonta Smith) 3rd (Mac Jones) and 5th (Najee Harris) place finishers in heisman voting.

There have been 7 times there were teammates as heisman finalists but that may be the closest anyone ever got to having 3 finalists (they only invited 4 that year)

As Lamont would say, “Ridiculous”.

Also, one day I will have a duck dog named, Lamont. I will yell Lamont! And when his big, dumb manatee, chocolate face looks back at me gasping for air, I’ll say, “you big dummy”, and then I will point to where the duck is and he’ll be into it. Dreams.

Has any other school had 2 running backs drafted in the top 5 of the same NFL draft?

In the 2005 NFL draft, Auburn had Ronnie Brown drafted 2nd overall and Cadillac Williams went 5th overall and they were both in the same backfield at AU.

LSU has never had a heisman duo in the backfield but obviously two elite tandems in Burrow/Chase and Daniels/Nabors that qualify as an offensive tandem.The Miles era was loaded with running backs and top receivers with no one to get the ball to them.

If Rodney Anderson hadn’t gotten hurt, likely Murray and as finalist. Shame Peterson didn’t win it

Tebow and Harvin.

Harvin shutdown UF’s “Harvin for Heisman” marketing campaign before it started as he was uncomfortable with it.

2019 LSU had 3 offensive players better than everyone you named and only one placed in the Heisman voting. Goes to show how watered down 2020 was.
