All-Time Ranking Of The Heisman Winners, LINK! Pitt's Hawk #2!

[CaptainSidneyReilly]

2. 1976 Tony Dorsett, RB Pittsburgh

Runner-up: Ricky Bell, RB USC
Dorsett didn’t just put up big numbers on the way to becoming the NCAA’s all-time rushing leader, he was clutch leading the Pitt Panthers to the national championship averaging 215 yards per game over the final seven and finishing with 1,948 yards and 23 touchdowns. During the streak he tore off a 224-yard day against Penn State before closing out with a record 202-yard performance in the Sugar Bowl win over Georgia.

50. 1973 John Cappelletti, RB Penn State

Runner-up: John Hicks, OT Ohio State
Known more for his tear-jerking acceptance speech honoring his leukemia-stricken brother than for his fantastic season, Cappelletti ran for 1,522 yards as the workhorse of the 12-0 Nittany Lions.

As a blatant Pitt homer I think Tony D is the all time greatest. But damn Barry Sanders was a stud.

Glad you brought that up, I respect your views and insights and would like it to confirm one of my doubtful opinions.....

1. I see PSU Barkley as another Barry Sanders type of Runner but he seems to get injured in games unlike Barry Sanders was able to avoid, Do You Agree???? Or have a different comparison! Hope Other Posters join in too to discuss it.

2. I see Miles Sanders runs like Shady McCoy too. Any thoughts?

3. Yet, I can't seem to compare Quadree Hederson to anyone, he seems to be his own style between Floyd Little & Greg Pruitt & Dion Lewis????

Reggie Bush looked a little like Tony Dorsett but Dorsett was better in CFB & NFL.

2. McCoy ran for over 1,300 yards his freshman year. Sanders ran for 184 yards, with 57 of those yards coming on one carry. There's really no comparison at this point.

Who was ahead of McCoy in those days, I forget?
