7. 1983 Mike Rozier, RB Nebraska runner-up: Steve Young, QB BYU

Rozier was the unstoppable force on the Big Red Machine of 1983 rushing for 2,148 yards and 29 touchdowns averaging a whopping 7.8 yards per carry and breaking the 100-yard mark in all 11 regular season games. He set the NCAA rushing record for yards in a season and broke or tied several other marks.

 

53. 1972 Johnny Rodgers, WR Nebraska runner-up: Greg Pruitt, RB Oklahoma

While he didn't have quite the season he had in 1971, Rodgers was still an electrifying all-purpose star as Nebraska went 9-2-1 with an Orange Bowl win.

 

69. 2001 Eric Crouch, QB Nebraska runner-up: Rex Grossman, QB Florida

Had Florida's Rex Grossman been a senior and Nebraska's Eric Crouch been a sophomore, and not the other way around, it would've been a Grossman landslide. Crouch had a great year rushing, but his claim to the honor was a touchdown catch to seal a win over Oklahoma. Grossman threw for fewer than 300 yards once, 290 in the win over Florida State, and in the team's biggest games he threw for 362 against Tennessee, 464 against LSU and 407 against Georgia.

 

 

 
hate to be a sour puss, but Tommie Frazier should have won the heisman, and he would've been ranked pretty high on this list.

but he didnt. oh well.

 
Tommie had a great senior year and should have won it. But I agree with Rozier being that high. He was amazing that year.

 
Heres the "Heisman Voting Mistakes" for Eric Crouch

4. 2001 Nebraska QB Eric Crouch over Florida QB Rex Grossman

It's this simple; had Grossman been a senior and Crouch a sophomore the tables would have been turned in one of the bigger landslides and Heisman history. While Crouch wasn't bad, this was as much a lifetime achievement award as anything else. Grossman lost by just 62 points

I would have to agree I guess. That was the year Colorado throttled us, we backed into the MNC and we got throttled again by Miami.

He was still an AMAZING athlete. Our defense was exposed by sCUm and (I do agree we should not have been in the Rose Bowl) Miami was just crazy talented that year......Portis, Shockey, Ed Reed, Santana Moss(i think) just to name a few........
