  1. For whatever reason (perhaps because of NFL success), Lincoln Riley's QBs have always dodged the 'system QB' label. But it still applies. Riley's offense borrows heavily from the Air Raid and consistently enables its QBs to put up inflated numbers.
  2. One of the worst Heisman trophy winners ever. White was a system QB who put up inflated stats buoyed by all the insane talent around him. When he finally faced pressure in the important games, he wilted then collapsed in embarrassing fashion. Zero touchdowns and four INTs in the two games that mattered. He wasn't even the best QB in the Big 12, much less the best player in the country. Only won because of the sob story surrounding his knee surgeries. The worst part is, people were hyping him up as a repeat Heisman winner the very next year (he finished second to Leinart despite Adrian Peterson doing all the work in that offense), ignoring his proven tendency to collapse in the big games. And of course, he proceeded to collapse again in the Orange Bowl against USC in a humiliating 55-19 blowout.
  3. Hornung threw for 917 yards, 3 TDs, and 13 INTs while running for 420 yards and six scores. Jim Brown ran for 986 yards and 13 TDs, had 56 receiving yards and a TD, and threw for 76 yards and a TD with just two fumbles on the year. Jim Brown and Johnny Majors were unanimous All-Americans. Hornung wasn't an All-American at all. It should never have been close.
  4. Hornung was not the best player in CFB. Jim Brown was, by an astronomical margin. Hornung won because his jersey said Notre Dame, end of story. He took a Notre Dame juggernaut that had lost just three games in the last two seasons, and led them to a dismal 2-8 record as team captain. Once he left, Notre Dame went back to a 7-3 record. Oklahoma pounded ND 40-0 with him as team leader, and lost to them the next year once he left. He just ran up empty numbers while his team kept losing, while people ooh-ed and aah-ed at him playing multiple positions. Newsflash; it was the 1950s, many players played multiple positions.
  5. Was Thomas the CB we were hoping to flip? Or Bravion Rogers?
  6. Won it once, but against very stiff competition: Adrian Peterson and J.J. Arrington. It was great because A) most of the All-American teams jilted Benson that year in favour of Peterson and Arrington, B) fuck blOU, and C) Cal fans were already salty about us pipping them for the Rose Bowl spot, and Benson beating out Arrington for the award sent their saltiness through the roof.
  7. Yeah, even D'Onta Foreman finished 8th in the voting the year he won the Doak.
  8. Bijan finished 9th in Heisman Trophy voting
  9. Doak Walker Award: Based out of Dallas, TX and won by Texas RB Bijan Robinson Davey O'Brien Award: Based out of Fort Worth, TX and won by TCU QB Max Duggan
  10. Tashard Choice gave a great interview with Bijan just now.
  11. Max Duggan is named the best QB in the country
