Heisman Winner
 
Sorry if a repost...


OSU quarterback Troy Smith wins Heisman

NEW YORK - For Ohio State and Troy Smith, it's been that kind of year.

The Buckeyes were No. 1 from start to finish and their star quarterback had no real challenger in winning the Heisman Trophy.

Smith was a runaway winner Saturday night as the best player in college football, just two years after nearly derailing his career by taking money from a booster.

The senior quarterback moved to the front of the Heisman race in September with a flawless performance against Texas and finished off a perfect regular season by throwing four touchdown passes against Michigan.

Now, there's only one thing left for Smith to do: Beat Florida for the national championship on Jan. 8.

I liked the kid from Arkansas...

Personally, I was never all that impressed with Smith.

I know I'm freaking shocked. A QB from a coastal team winning the Hyman award. It's got to be a first.

I was rooting for the kid from Arkansas as well

You will be when he makes it to the NFL. He's no Andre Ware or Charlie Ward. First rounder in the making.

This is the worst Heisman trophy winner since Gino Toretta.

Well, Ohio does have the great lakes to the North, so I guess it technically could be called "coastal". ROFL

The guy had a 67% completion pct with 30 TDs and 5 INTs while leading his team to an undefeated season. I don't think there's any bias involved in this choice. He had a better season than anyone else in college football. He might not the best pro prospect, but he definitely deserved this award.
