WELCOME TO NEW YORK
It was a crazy year for the Race for the Heisman, as we saw several players have years that will be remember for a very long time.
It was a close race, but SR WR Kevin Jackson (LSU) took home the trophy with 129 catches for 1967 yds and a amazing 21 TD's, but it was his teams success that many feel was what it took for him to beat out fellow WR JR Alex Fitzgerald (Texas Tech). If you thought Jackson's #'s were eye popping, Fitzgerald topped him in all cats, with 155 rec 2085 yds and 25 TDs. However don't feel to bad for Fitz he did take home the Bilentinkoff Award.
JR QB A. Craig (Miami) finished 3rd with 3676 yds passing and a amazing 44 TD/1 INT ratio.. Craig took hom the Davey O'Brien Award.
SR RB K. Malcome (Georgia) finished the year with 1887 combined yards and 27 TD's to finish 4th, well JR RB JT Turner (Navy) finished 5th after leading Navy to a 12-1 record with 468 carries for 1995 yds and 29 TD's on the ground well catching 42 recs for 567 yds and 3 TD's in the air.
