Probably should've posted this a couple weeks ago for relevance sake, huh? :P

Nebraska and Michigan are the only schools with three total Heisman winners at three different positions. WR, RB, QB @ Nebraska. RB, WR, CB @ Michigan with one of them being the first and only defensive winner.

Notre Dame has seven Heisman winners with four of them at different positions (QB, RB, WR, TE).

Other Heisman distinctions:

Ohio State - First and only two-time winner (Archie Griffin)

Florida - " " Sophomore winner (Tim Tebow)

Texas A&M - " " Freshman winner (Johnny Manziel)

Schools with two different winners in consecutive years:

Yale (1936-1937)

Army (1945-1946)

USC (2004-2005)

As far as TE winner Im guessing youre talking about Leon Hart from ND, but really first one was Larry Kelley of Yale in 1936, second year of Heisman.

Suh should've won the Heisman in 2009. The only reason he didn't is because he's a defensive tackle.

I'd say the only reason he didn't is because of our losses to VA Tech, TTech, and lolowa State. If we would have won those games he would have gotten a ridiculous amount of national publicity going into that Big XII title game.

I remember reading a twitter post from SI's Stewart Mandel right before the fateful field goal of the Big 12 CCG saying something along the lines of "If Suh blocks this field goal, give him the Heisman right there on the field".

It made me chuckle. I think if Suh had blocked it, which wasn't out of the realm of possibility given how many FG's he blocked in his college career & the low trajectory of long kicks, he would have won the Heisman in 2009. Ingram was underwhelming in my opinion that year and I think that blocking that FG would have pushed Suh ahead of him & Gerhart. Suh would have single-handedly caused the most BCS chaos in the history of the BCS, so it seems fair to say that he would have won it. He would've commanded way more media attention, which is a big factor in getting Heisman love.

Manziel and Tebow were both on 10-3 teams at the time of Heisman voting. Didn't matter.
