One thing, who won the Heisman during the year of that TAMU player? Because this years finalists are one of the weakest groups I've ever seen. You have to equate that into the discussion, IMO.

Very true.. I won't be upset if Te'o, JFF or CK wins. It's a weak year and all 3 are deserving in my opinion.
Danielle Hunter, Jamario Rasco, Anthony FREAK Johnson.. DL wrecking crew of 2013.

actually no because that same year Barry Sanders put up the greatest offensive season in history
2600+ rush yards
3200+ all purpose
39 TDs
this was in 11 games not counting his bowl where he added 222 yards rushing and 5 TDs
so through 12 games he put up nearly 2900 yards rushing and 44 TDs

Its insane how such an average season for an LB gets him into the Heisman.
If Kevin Minter played for ND and Te'o played for LSU, Minter would be a Heisman finalist and winning other awards. Same with a lot of linebackers this year.

And that is the point. He's not there because he is one of the most outstanding players. He's there because he plays for nd.

So all the coaches and former players that voted for Te'o to win the other awards are secretly ND fans? We own the world! I don't care who wins the award we have our eyes on the bigger prize. Manziel deserves it, enjoy the Cotton Bowl A&M..

Let me first say that I've wanted true defensive players to win it for a long time. Not because of my partiality to defensive players, but because SOMETIMES THEY'RE THE BEST PLAYER IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!
I'm also not a stats guy (not always). If it's an offensive guard, so be it. If it's gotta be a quarterback, look at what he did when the game was on the line. Look at his efficiency and what he means to his players in the huddle...not just yards/td's. I say this because it's so easy to look for all you need to see in a QB, but not necessarily a defensive player or lineman.
I don't know if Teo is the best player in football, and I think Manziel is incredible (would probably be my vote, though not because of his season of stats). I think to be fair, you have to look at what Teo has meant to his team.
Finally, I'm going to sort of break a rule of my own here and go back to the Derrick Thomas point my fellow Bama guys have pointed out. There wasn't anyone in football that year that was even in the ballpark of how amazing he was that season. 27 sacks and 44 TFL? That's ridiculous. I was a little league linebacker at the time wanting to be the next Derrick Thomas (I'll save you the suspense...I came up juuuuust short).
Sometimes, it just should be a defensive guy. I personally would vote Manziel, but I'll tip my hat to Teo if he wins it.

Ricky Williams won it 1998.

ND hype machine.
If Manziel had done the exact same thing at Notre Dame he would be "revolutionizing football" and "shattering records" and Te'o would be an overrated LB from the SEC.

Even Shazier this year for Ohio State has better stats... And he should not be a heisman candidate.

He has better stats than Derrick Thomas? I effing doubt it.

LOL if anyone doesn't think Manziel hasn't already held his trophy. You have bet 150 dollars in Vegas to win 10. Think about it guys. They should've only flown one person to the ceremony

This is one year that the Heisman shouldn't be awarded. No one has stood out and earned it.

Hey, if you're boy Joannie Football should happen to win it, at least it will be a
Lifetime Longhorn fan accepting the trophy. Think about that.
