	Heisman Trophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Heisman Memorial Trophy Award (also known simply as the Heisman Trophy or The Heisman), named after former college football player and coach John Heisman, is considered the most prestigious award in American college football.
		Finally, the Heisman is frequently awarded to a running back or a quarterback; very few players have won the trophy playing at a different position.
		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.

	John Heisman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John William Heisman (October 23, 1869 – October 3, 1936) was a prominent American football player and college football coach in the early era of the sport and is the namesake of the Heisman Trophy awarded annually to the season's best college football player.
		Heisman's running up the score against a totally outmanned opponent was supposedly motivated by revenge against Cumberland's baseball team running up the score against Tech 22-0 the previous year.
		Heisman subsequently became the athletics director of the former Downtown Athletic Club in Manhattan, New York, and in 1935 the club began awarding annually in his honor what is now almost universally referred to as the Heisman Trophy, given to the player voted as the season's best collegiate player.

	Heisman Trophy Winners
		The Heisman Trophy has been presented by the New York Downtown Athletic Club each year since 1935 when Jay Berwanger of the University of Chicago won the inaugural award given to the outstanding college football player in the United States as selected by over 1,000 sportswriters and sportscasters across the nation.

		The 1-3 finish of Rodgers and Glover in the 1972 Heisman voting was the best teammate finish since Glenn Davis and Doc Blanchard of Army went 2-3 in 1944, then 1-2 in 1945 and 1-4 in 1946.
