Marcus Allen – 1981
Up next, we have Marcus Allen. The team gave him the ball a total of 477 times in 1981. That was also his Heisman year. With so many touches, we can see why he brought home the award. He still has the record for rushing over 200-yard games with eight of them. On the other hand, his 212.9 rushing yards are now known as the second-highest in history. USC might have lost to Washington and Arizona before the Fiesta Bowl, but there is no way that you can deny that he is an amazing player.
