Reggie Bush – 2005 *
We added an asterisk to his name since the NCAA vacated his Heisman trophy due to USC’s rule violations. Despite this, Reggie Bush had an excellent college career. His play in 2005 had been the best of them all. A lot of people said that it was the greatest of the new millennium. The roundabout running master became a huge star out in Los Angeles. It was difficult to even compete with him. He led the nation with a record of 8.7 yards a carry, which made him an automatic first down. He was able to achieve 16 rushing touchdowns and 1,740 yards.

Herschel Walker – 1982
While Herschel Walker had a spectacular year in 1981, it was overshadowed by Marcus Allen’s success. After graduating from college, he was able to win the award the following year. He broke his thumb, but this did not slow him down at all. He was able to improve his yards per attempt while taking fewer carries than the previous year. The Bulldogs dominated the SEC play and had 11-0 before they lost in the Sugar Bowl. He had 1,752 yards, 15 touchdowns, and 335 carries. How impressive is that?!
