Italy have currently only won one European championship and that was in 1968. The closest they have got to winning one since was when they came second in the year 2000.

1995 to 1997:

Charles Woodson played college football at the University of Michigan. He became the starter after the second game of his freshman season and played in 34 straight games. In addition to playing cornerback, he returned punts and occasionally played as a wide receiver. Woodson was selected as the Big Ten Freshman of the Year in 1995. He was also named to the All-Big Ten First Team by conference coaches, and Second Team All-Big Ten by the media. He led the team with five interceptions and eight takeaways. In 1996, Woodson set a Wolverine record for pass breakups with 15. For his efforts, he was named the Chevrolet Defensive Player of the Year and an AP First Team All-American. He was also a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award and named to All-Big Ten First Team by conference coaches and the media. In his junior season in 1997, Woodson won the Heisman Trophy, receiving 282 more voting points than runner-up Peyton Manning. He was the first and is still the only primarily defensive player to win the prestigious award. Woodson led the Michigan Wolverines to an undefeated season and the national championship in the same year. He also won the Bronko Nagurski Trophy as the best defensive college player. He was named to the All-Big Ten First-Team for the third year and First-Team All-American for the second year. It was also his second year winning the Chevrolet Defensive Player of the Year award and Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year. Woodson won the Jim Thorpe Award, an award which he was nominated for the previous year. Throughout college, Woodson was known for big plays in big moments of a game. As a freshman he had two interceptions in a victory against the #2-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes. During his Heisman-winning junior year, he made an acrobatic one-handed sideline interception against the Michigan State Spartans. Woodson had two interceptions in the game. In a game against Ohio State, he returned a punt for a touchdown, made an interception in the end-zone, and had a 37-yard reception that led to Michigan's only offensive touchdown of the game. The win lifted Michigan to the Rose Bowl. Michigan played the Washington State Cougars in the Rose Bowl. Woodson recorded an interception in the game, helping Michigan defeat the Cougars and win a share of the 1997 NCAA Division I-A championship. In 2007, Woodson was ranked #11 on ESPN's Top 25 Players In College Football History list.

Tony Doresett is the only Heisman Trophy winner from the University of Pittsburgh. He won the award in 1976.

Ernie Davis received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications from Syracuse University. He was also a standout athlete, becoming the first African American to win the Heisman Trophy in 1961. Davis's achievements in football are well-remembered, but his academic accomplishments are also notable as he balanced sports and education during his college years.

1981 winner Marcus Allen and 1970 winner Jim Pluckett were the starting running back and quarterback, respectively, on the 1983 Los Angeles Raiders team that won Super Bowl XVIII. 1963 winner Roger Staubach and 1976 winner Tony Dorsett were the starting quarterback and running back, respectively, on the 1977 Dallas Cowboys team that won Super Bowl XII.

The fifty states of the U.S. are split into six regions, and six regional representatives are selected to appoint voters in their states (the regions include the Far West, the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, Northeast, South, and Southwest). Each region has 145 media votes, for a total of 870 votes. In addition, all previous Heisman winners may vote, and one final vote is counted through public balloting. Although voters still attending college can not vote until said player's collegiate career is over. The Heisman ballots contain a 3-2-1 point system, in which each ballot ranks the voter's top three players and awards them three points for a first-place vote, two points for a second-place vote, and one point for a third-place vote. The points are tabulated, and the player with the highest total of points across all ballots wins the Heisman Trophy.

The first African American to win the Heisman memorial trophy was Ernie Davis of Syracuse in 1960.

Through Super Bowl XLIII, there has not been more than two Heisman winners on Super Bowl rosters for any game.

2) Super Bowl IV - Mike Garrett

3) Super Bowl V - Roger Staubach

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.

Sam Bradford dislocated his shoulder twice.

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.
