The thing that I think is funny about the 1997 Heisman whenever Charles Woodson winning it is brought up they always throw out that he beat out Peyton Manning, which he did. That being said that same year counting the bowl game Ahman had 307 carries for 2083 yards and 24 TD’s at 6.78 YPC. That is insane and he never gets mentioned in the list of people that got slighted. His numbers are better then plenty of Heisman winning Running Backs throughout the year not to mention his team won the National Championship.
His non-bowl game numbers were 278 carries 1877 yards and 22 TD’s at 6.75 YPC. On par or better then that boob Mark Ingram, Eddie George, Ron Dayne, and Bo Jackson.
Another Husker I always felt that got snubbed was Frost. At the time, he was only the 7th QB in NCAA history to have a 1000/1000 season. Yet, he wasn't even mentioned or invited. Brad Smith had 1000/2000 seasons and never got invited. If the Hypseman truelly was meant to go to the player with the best season's performance, I can't see how anyone but Michigan's QB won it this year.
