Running Quarterbacks and the Heisman

Heisman History — 27 October 2010

Cameron Newton is the Heisman front runner thanks in large part to his talent carrying the ball, so I thought it’d be worthwhile to go back and look at which quarterbacks rushed for the most yards in their Heisman-winning seasons.

Eric Crouch, 2001, Nebraska: 1,115 yards

Les Horvath, 1944, Ohio State: 924 yards

Tim Tebow, 2007, Florida: 895 yards

Clint Frank, 1937, Yale: 630 yards

Terry Baker, 1962, Oregon State: 538 yards

Paul Hornung, 1956, Notre Dame: 420 yards

Roger Staubach, 1963, Navy: 418 yards

Charlie Ward, 1993, Florida State: 339 yards

Gary Beban, 1967, UCLA: 224 yards

Troy Smith, 2006, Ohio State: 204 yards

Jim Plunkett, 1970, Stanford: 183 yards
