🏈 And the 2012 Heisman goes to ..

[PhillyGirl]

Johnny Manziel!


"Manziel with 2,029 points to Te'o's 1,706. 323 point margin. Klein with 894."

"1. Manziel. 2. Te'o 3. Klein 4. Lee 5. Miller 6. Clowney 7. Lynch 8. T. Austin 9. Barner 10. J. Jones"

"wins 5 of 6 regions; only midwest goes for Te'o"

"2nd youngest Heisman trophy winner ever, trailing only Mark Ingram (19)"

"This year, 22 percent of Heisman voters sent in ballots before the games of Dec. 1."

"Te'o gets most Heisman votes ever by a pure defensive player"


Here's the video of the ceremony and his acceptance speech: http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=espn:8727650

Nice speech. The shots of his dad were major tearjerkers. This kid is a class act. Looking forward to seeing what he can do in the future.

Here's a GIF of his reaction: http://cdn.bleacherreport.net/image...s/000/641/910/Manziel_original.gif?1355018817

Manziel wins 2012 Heisman

Glad to see somebody that OWNED Bama win Heisman. He deserved it!

Good for him! Surprised that Te'o didn't win it with all the hype he has gotten

I am VERY surprised. I was truly expecting a Te'o win. But the cards didn't fall that way this year I suppose.

I wish Te'O had won it just because of all the distraction it would cause for ND leading up to the game...

Johnny Manziel deserved it though!

"Manziel is just the second TAMU player ever to win the award and first since halfback John David Crow took home the honors back in 1957"

Pretty cool. And now we can chalk it up as an SEC victory :td:

You're relatively new to the Bama fandom so I've got a little trivia question to throw at you.

Do you know where John David Crow's Heisman trophy is displayed?

Sorry this took so long to reply to, this website has not been working for me for the past day or so :icon_confused:

Anywho, I do not know. Nick Saban's mantle?

I don't know the answer to this, but if I had to throw a guess out there I would say the Bryant Museum.

I thought he did a good job on his speech. Glad the young man won it.
