How a Darkhorse Could Win the Heisman

Found August 20, 2009 on FanHouse:
PLAYERS: Charles Woodson
TEAMS: Oakland Raiders

by Clay TravisFiled under: HeismanLast week I wrote a piece explaining that Eric Berry was Tennessee's redemption for Charles Woodson's unjustified Heisman Trophy in 1997. I was pleased to see that every Michigan fan that responded agreed that Woodson's victory was illegitimate. It's so nice when we can all come together and agree on things. Let's now look at something for this season: Can anyone other than Tim Tebow, Sam Bradford, or Colt McCoy win the Heisman? I think the answer is yes.How a Darkhorse Could Win the Heisman originally appeared on Fanhouse NCAA Football Blog on Thu, 20 Aug 2009 16:01:00 EST . Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Where are you on this scale?

Via Redleg Nation  |  August 21, 2009
