husker4ever07 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 http://msn.foxsports.com/cfb/story/7469010 "3. 1997 Nebraska Cornhuskers, Ahman Green and Joe Makovicka: Though Heisman-winning quarterback Scott Frost actually had more rushing yards than both Makovicka and back-up tailback Corell Buckhalter, this list is confined to running backs. That said, the tailback-fullback combo in Tom Osborne's 1997 squad was quite a handful. Green carried the ball 278 times for 1,877 yards and scored 22 touchdowns, while Makovicka converted just 105 attempts into 685 yards and nine scores. (Frost rushed for over 1,000 yards and scored 19 touchdowns that year.) This team shared a national championship with Michigan. That carries a lot of weight with me." Quote Link to comment
MCAT800 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Somebody should let Frost know so he can go get the trophy from Woodson Quote Link to comment
HuskerJosh Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 The stupidity of some reporting today is astounding. ESPN misspelling TOs name and completely butchering his stats? Now this? Makes you wonder if they even bother to hire editors. Quote Link to comment
billdozer15 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Somebody should let Frost know so he can go get the trophy from Woodson Doesnt anyone do any research anymore. Whatever happened to journalistic integrity. If I were Woodson I would show up at this guys house and beat him sensless with my Heisman trophy. Quote Link to comment
AuroranHusker Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Actually, Charles Woodson should give that Heisman to Peyton Manning........ Quote Link to comment
HogBreath Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Actually, Charles Woodson should give that Heisman to Peyton Manning........ Wow !!!! You nailed it. I will never forget the look on Mannings' face when Woodson was announced. The Heisman has been a sham for several years and is based on ESPN and the Eastern Press popularity Quote Link to comment

The Heisman has been a sham for several years and is based on ESPN and the Eastern Press popularity I may be wrong (I was only 13 or so at the time, so who knows how good my memory of that season is), but I think that Woodson did deserve the Heisman. His penchant for game-breaking plays and his excellence at cornerback merited his selection I thought. His team's national title? Not so much. Plus, I might be saying this because I couldn't stand Peyton when he was at UT. Hell, I couldn't stand him with the Colts either. That is, until his landbreaking performance on Saturday Night Live.

BeachBuffs Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Actually, Charles Woodson should give that Heisman to Peyton Manning........ Why would Peyton want it? It is almost like the kiss of death........ Quote Link to comment
T_O_Bull Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Actually, Charles Woodson should give that Heisman to Peyton Manning........ Because Manning looked so good in the Orange Bowl that year. ...T_O_B Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Actually, Charles Woodson should give that Heisman to Peyton Manning........ Because Manning looked so good in the Orange Bowl that year. ...T_O_B Well.... Did he look any worse than Crouch in 2001? I'm just sayin... Quote Link to comment
Pedro Guerrero Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 There were far better defensive players before Woodson that should have been the "First" to win the Heisman. That dude won it because ESPN/ABC loved him that is it. Look at Green's stats from that year and tell me if any other teams RB put up those numbers and helped his team go undefeated that they wouldn't have been at least in New York for the award. If not the winner. Quote Link to comment

Because Manning looked so good in the Orange Bowl that year. ...T_O_B First of all...remember the heisman is handed out before the big bowl games. Secondly, am I the only one that is bothered by Joe not JoeL? Quote Link to comment
