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
