Beating out the likes of Chris Perry, Eli Manning, and Larry Fitzgerald, Jason White took home the Heisman trophy.
Being a two man race, White beat out Fitzgerald by 128 pts: 1,481-1,353. Manning followed with 710 pts, while Michigan's Chris Perry rounded out the field with 341 votes. |

The Heisman trophy is over-rated and tends to be more of a jinx than anything. This year, no canidate really stood out at all. They are each solid players, but nothing amazing. I think the 3 non-winners will do well in the NFL though. White on the other hand...I just don't see it happening

No doubt, they make it seem like such a miracle that he "came back" from his acl problems, when in all actuality, he had to tone down his playing style. If and when he's in the NFL, he'll sink like a bag of bricks in the Hudson.

The only reason that White won the Heisman is because of how good Oklahoma was, not how good Jason White was. With a team like that, any decent quarterback could play as well as he did this year. If your offensive line gives you 15 seconds to throw, of course you're going to complete your share of passes.
