Herschel Walker – 1982
Even though the 1981 season had been spectacular for Herschel Walker, he was overshadowed by Marcus Allen that year. We are glad to report that the Heisman trophy went to him the year after that. While he had a broken thumb, it did not slow him down. In fact, he managed to beat his yards per attempt record even though he took fewer carries. The Bulldogs ruled the SEC and had an 11-0 record before losing in the Sugar Bowl. In the end, he boasted 15 touchdowns, 335 carries, and 1,752 yards.
