O.J. Simpson – 1968

There was no way we could have left the Juice out of this list. Before the murder charges, the world was loco over his sports prowess. O.J. Simpson was actually the first college star to garner so much fame and attention. Defenses found it hard to draw up a game plan for him. He led the league in rushing yards and carried two consecutive years. In 1968, he made it look like it was easy to dominate the field! That year, he also led in touchdowns at 23. To this day, his margin of victory is still the biggest in Heisman history.

Eddie George – 1995

Eddie George played well for the Ohio State Buckeyes in his junior year, but he did an even better job in his senior year. He led the team to a great 11-0 start and the National Championship Game. He dominated his opponents and had at least a hundred yards in each game. The only exception was the opener since his coach subbed him out. The reason behind this move was that he only scored 38-6.
