No player has won the Heisman in back-to-back seasons since Ohio State tailback Archie Griffin in 1974-75.
Jon Wilner The San Jose Mercury News The Pac-12 claimed its first Heisman Trophy in eight years on Saturday night when USC sophomore quarterback Caleb Williams won by a resounding margin.As we saw with Alabama quarterback Bryce Young, the 2021 winner who finished sixth in the voting this year, small changes on the margins can be the difference.
Perhaps the transfer portal will produce a shining star like dynamic quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who plays for Jackson State but is expected to follow his father, Deion, to Colorado.But our focus here is Penix, who led the country in yards per game and finished eighth in the voting.• USC plays by different rules.
The Heisman’s 900-something voters — a combination of media members and former winners — are split evenly into six regions. But McCaffrey was unknown nationally when the season began, and more than half of his yards were generated in games that started at 10 p.m. or later on the East Coast.If McCaffrey couldn’t win from off the pace, no Pac-12 player can.He doesn’t have USC’s platform, but thanks to his stellar year and top-10 finish in the Heisman voting, he should enter next season as a frontrunner.The Oregon quarterback didn’t come from off the pace that year.
