Caleb Williams began the season trying to do what's only been done once before -- win a second Heisman. For one reason or another, his odds are now long and Archie Griffin will remain alone in his unique club.
It was Dec. 13, 2008, in New York City and time for the three Heisman Trophy finalists to take their place at the front of the room, awaiting the announcement of who would win college football's most coveted individual award. But one member of the trio was missing. The one who had been there before.quarterback was there not simply as a Heisman finalist, but as the reigning Heisman winner, seeking to become the second two-time Heisman honoree and first in 33 years.
Yet, here we are. It would take a miraculous turn for Williams to repeat. Since Jason White finished behind Matt Leinart, this century alone, those who have returned to college for another shot at bronzed glory have gone 0-for-10, eight who went 0-for-1 and Tebow, who went 0-for-2. "The year I won it I was kind of an unknown guy who kind of came out of nowhere. I was a great story. The next year, man, every question after every game was, 'Well, do you think you can win the Heisman again? Charles White just did this and the quarterback at just did that. Did you do enough, Billy?' I don't care who you are or how tough you are, you are still a college kid. It's a lot."Sims was just the sixth junior to win the award over 43 years.
Winston stated at ACC preseason media days in the summer of 2014:"If I get Manziel disease, I want all of you to smack me in the head with your microphones." As the 1991 season started, Detmer was warned by LaVell Edwards, his Hall of Fame head coach, to not become too obsessed with topping the year before, and to remain in the here and now. It didn't work. Detmer suffered injuries and BYU opened the season 0-3 against a slate of ranked teams. He was already in his own head before October."We are taught as football players and athletes that your goal is to always be improving, and how do you do that?" Detmer recalled last year.
It's always been a crucial component to a candidate's portfolio that they be on a team that makes a postseason run. But to do that, there has to be more than one great player on a roster. Sometimes that Heisman winner has to share stats, stage and votes with one of those teammates.
