For Those Who Thought McCaffrey...

Should have won the Heisman, the AP agrees with you. Didn't that happen the year Brad Banks was runner up to Carson Palmer?

You're an all-around player who breaks the record for all purpose yards and you don't win the Heisman? That's a joke. Plain and simple. Half the backs in the country would have done as well or better than Henry running behind that line. And that's a fact. But who can say they did what McCaffrey did? Nada. EVER! The Heisman has been a joke for a while now, and Henry winning it this year just confirms it.

I was more of a homer for Chuck Long but in my old age have reconsidered and now think Bo was the more deserving player. Carson Palmer's still playing in the NFL and Brad is ???

Yes, just about any year other than that 1985 Bo Jackson year and Long would have won the Heisman.

No, Auburn finished 8-4 that year and really Bo's stats weren't all that great, worse than both of this year's candidates. The award is about the college football year and not how a player projects to the NFL. McCaffrey's rushing stats this year were better than Bo's in 1985. Throw in all purpose and it's not close.
