Heisman Trophy Flashback: Tommy Frazier Best To Never Win

NCAAF, Nebraska Cornhuskers

Looking back on the past Heisman winners leading up until Saturday night's presentation ...

OK, so Tommy Frazier didn't actually win the Heisman but I have a hard time finding a player who had a better season and didn't get to hold the trophy.

In 1995, Eddie George rushed for an Ohio State school record 1,927 yards and 24 touchdowns. Frazier led the Cornhuskers to a second-straight national title, throwing for 1,367 yards (17 TD) and rushing for another 604 (14 TD). As you can see from the video above, how he gained those stats was far more impressive. I couldn't find a statistic on the amount of tackles broken, but let's just say Tommy owns the single season record during his '95 campaign.

Is Tommy Frazier the best to never win the Heisman?

I'm sure he's great, otherwise there wouldn't be that many people still talking about him today, but I doubt he's the best ever to not win the Heisman.

I don't know if he's the best-ever to not win the Heisman, but he is the best player I've seen to not win it. Likewise, that Nebraska team is the best I've ever seen. I think that was the season they beat 3 top-10 teams in 3 consecutive weeks by an average of 25+ points and averaged 400 yards rushing/game for the season.

Those stats are deceiving also, by the way. How many 4th quarters or even 2nd halves did Tommie even play in? Not to mention the other weapons that team had and their proficiency running the ball likely cut down on a lot of plays. Stats don't do Tommie justice, and I'm still mad the blood clots took away any possibility of seeing him at a higher level.
