Only one time has this happened. In 2009, the Alabama Crimson Tide defeated Texas in the BCS National Championship game with their Heisman winner Mark Ingram. In 2010, the Auburn Tigers defeated Oregon on a last second field goal. Auburn's quarterback Cam Newton, won the Heisman that year. So only the state of Alabama has ever been able to win both the Heisman and national championship back to back. TCU and Texas A&M won the National Championship back to back years in 1938 and 1939 respectively. TCU's Davey O'Brien won the Heisman in 1938, but Texas A&M failed have a Heisman winner that next year.

Oregon State University has produced one Heisman Trophy winner: quarterback Terry Baker. The versatile Baker, who also played basketball for the Beavers, was awarded the Heisman for the 1962 season. He also appeared in the 1962-63 NCAA Final Four, making him the only Heisman winner to compete in a basketball championship semifinal.

Yes, but only for a year, after which it must be returned to the clubhouse.

Linebacker Chuck Howley of the Dallas Cowboys won the MVP in Super Bowl V, becoming the first defensive player to win the award.

Tony Dorsett, Pittsburgh running back.

In 2005, Reggie Bush won the Heisman Trophy. Vince Young was the runner up. But Bush was made to return the trophy because he had accepted gifts from his agent which was not allowed. It was then given to Young fictitiously, by Dennis Dodd who was the past president of the Football Writers Association of America.

Sam Bradford from Oklahoma won the Heisman Trophy in 2008.

that your very happy

Gary Suter

Only once: Charles Woodson, although he also played a lot of special teams.

Interestingly, he beat out Peyton Manning, who had been thought to be a very strong Heisman candidate.

The University of Michigan's first Heisman Trophy winner was running back Tom Harmon who won the award in 1940.

Steve Spurrier, Danny Wuerful, and Tim Tebow

Gino Torretta, quarterback for the Miami Hurricanes, won the 1992 Heisman Trophy.

Sure, two that I know of are Joe Theisman was a Life Scout, also Steve Young (QB) was a Boy Scout

strange to know also Jim Morrison (yes the great Jim Morrison) was a Boy Scout.

Jim Brown (Syracuse University) finished 5th in the Heisman voting in 1956 behind winner Paul Hornung of Notre Dame, second place Johnny Majors of Tennessee, third place Tommy McDonald of Oklahoma, and fourth place Jerry Tubbs of Oklahoma.

According to www.heisman.com, there have been only five winners of the Heisman Trophy whose primary position was not running back or QB:

1) 1936 - Larry Kelley, Yale, End

2) 1949 - Leon Hart, Notre Dame, End

I just did what you suggested, and I am more confused now.

In addition to the players you have listed above, Doc Blanchard ('45), Alan Ameche ('54), & Steve Owens ('69) are listed as FB, which I assume means fullback.

I then looked up 'fullback' in Ask.com, and found that the fullback position is not often recognized as a running back any longer.

In recent years the position has evolved to be more a blocker than a runner, with occasional pass-catching duties. The remaining prominent fullbacks in the http://www.answers.com/topic/national-football-league are typically employed for breaking through tight defensive alignments, often in short-yardage situations. As a result, fullbacks are typically less known for speed and agility than for muscularity and the ability to avoid being tackled by knocking down defenders.

Taking all this into consideration then....there would be a total of eight players on the above list....7 offensive, and 1 defensive!...Go figure!

A trophy is awarded as a prize to symbolise victory or success. Trophies are particularly used in sporting events.

Through the 2008 season, no.

In the Amateur Era: Men's Singles- William Renshaw 7 times. Women's Singles- Helen Wills Moody 8 times.

In the Open Era: Men's Singles- Pete Sampras 7 times. Women's Singles- Martina Navratilova 9 times.

So Martina Navratilova tops the list of most times winners.

Eli Manning finished 3rd in Heisman Trophy voting behind Jason White of Oklahoma and Larry Fitzgerald of Pittsburgh.
