I still believe and will never waiver in my belief that Woodson got the Heisman because ESPN/ABC promoted him. In the name of ratings they didn't want a runaway for the award and Peyton was the leader without competition starting the year. That's not good for TV ratings for the award ceremony. And, ABC showed Big 10 games.
Yes, Woodson was a great player and maybe didn't need the help. But he got it. And I can hold a grudge with the best/worst of them. :old: Title: Re: Peyton BLITZED into the NFL HOF Post by: Tnphil on February 07, 2021, 05:58:50 EST Congrats to Peyton.. :powert:

With the extra income from the Rose Bowl promoting the Heisman winner, they managed to get back in the black for the year. It was very interesting, but has long since been lost in the interwebs. Wish I could find it again.

It still haunts him and his college career.
