How can you give the heisman to anyone other than Larry Johnson? When did the heisman get so mixed up with the national title race? Banks is right now the leader, but has average stats compared to what has been done in the past by college football QBs. Dorsey and McGahee are in the same boat, but all 3 are on teams that will go to a BCS bowl game.
What Larry Johnson has done this year not only blows away everyone else in college football at RB, but is among the top 5 RB seasons in the past 20 years. All 5 RBs that have rushed for 2000 yards in the past 20 years have won the heisman, but none of them came any where near the ypc that Larry has this season. Larry Johnson has an 8+ ypc, the closest to him of 2000 yard backs was Barry Sanders who had a 7.6 ypc.
He is also on a team that had a sub .500 season last year, and has pretty much singlehandley lead Penn St to a 9 win season. Dorsey and McGahee in all fairness can't even be considered since they have each other, and one of the best defenses and o-lines in college football. Banks would be the only other canadate in my eyes, but he is not doing anything others haven't done in the past. You can easily compare Larry Johnson's season to the best of all time, you can't do that to Banks.
