Reggie Bush – 2005 *
There is an asterisk beside his name because the NCAA took his Heisman trophy after USC violated rules. Even so, you would be a fool not to recognize that Reggie Bush was a great college football player. In 2005, he had one of the best plays in the league. People even called it the best of the new millennium. He went on to be a huge star that would intimidate anyone who had to go up against him. He led the nation with his record of 8.7 yards per carrying. This made the player an automatic first down. He managed to score 16 rushing touchdowns and 1,740 rushing yards. Nice.

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.
