We voted TCU over Bama even though player by player and coaching staff wise Bama is better.

No they're not, lol.

Bryce Young, Will Anderson, etc.

Johnson from TCU is great, I like Duggan as a college QB. Who else does TCU have that’s gonna play on Sundays?

It's embarrassing that you can't look past the logo on a helmet. TCU is the better team, it's obvious to the whole country, deal with it.

that was good enough for Troy Smith to win it, apparently.

Typical Notre Dame fan who selectively cherry picks historical narratives. Blue probably thought Manti Teo got screwed out of the Heisman 10 years ago.  

Smith was a runaway vote that year. Who else deserved it?

I probably would have given it to McFadden in 2006

DMC was a great college RB who also had 2 other NFL 1,000+ yard rushers on that team.

I'm going way to far back in the mental roladex right now but I think Troy Smith didn't even have 3000 yards that year total?  I know that's a ton for college players but I think McFadden and one other RB went nuts.  Ray Rice maybe, kid from Boise maybe.  Was Peterson healthy that year or still in college, i don't recall?   I think there was some random qb from Hawaii or something that had like 5-6000 yards too, not that it matters but just in context

McFadden was a lot better the next year in 2007, the year he went nuts. Under 1,800 yards and 14 TD to go with 11 receptions that year in 2006.

Basically the same for Ray Rice too. He went nuts in 2007. Although, he had almost the exact same yardage as DMC in 2006 with more TD.

Correct, albeit it's hard to gauge in an offense where you only attempt 23.9 passes a game.

Passing
Year	School	Conf	Class	Pos	G	Cmp	Att	Pct	Yds	Y/A	AY/A	TD	Int	Rate
*2003	Ohio State	Big Ten	SO	QB	11
*2004	Ohio State	Big Ten	JR	QB	8	68	122	55.7	896	7.3	7.5	8	3	134.2
*2005	Ohio State	Big Ten	SR	QB	11	149	237	62.9	2282	9.6	10.2	16	4	162.7
*2006	Ohio State	Big Ten	SR	QB	13	203	311	65.3	2542	8.2	9.2	30	6	161.9

 

I guess I don't think you really have a close viable candidate to Smith in 2006, especially considering the Heisman was handed out pre BCS Title Game.

Up until that game, he played pretty immaculate football, beat 2 #2 teams, and that team was 12-0 with a bunch of controversy about whether or not Florida should have been in it...which is hilarious now with hindsight, but still.

didn't they randomly have mcfadden throw like some silly number of TD that year from the wild cat in 06?
