he definitely deserved it that year. not only did he lead texas to 13-0 championship season, his stats also speak for themselves.
-212 for 325 completions
-3,036 passing yards.
-26 passing TDs
-1,050 rushing yards
-12 rushing TDs
-163.95 qb rating
Need i say more????????


If he deserved it he would have won it.

Plain and simple

That's your argument? If he deserved it he would have won it? I am sure, then, that you are extremely happy the Heisman is awarded each year BEFORE the BCS game is ever played. Because if it were awared at the end of the season (as it should be), then Vince Young would have won it in a landslide after single-handedly beating USC. Young showed all the USC faithful AND Reggie Bush just what it means to take over a game at will. Young was robbed that year.

Man, when he was QBing that year, the Longhorns averaged over 10 yards on any given first down!

Bush had another heisman "winner" on the team and the trojans were loaded!

There are several legit arguments to be made for Young and for Bush. Reggie's numbers were also off the chart. It's too bad we didn't get to see the debate.

Since it's not awarded before the bowl games, it's hard to say who deserved it more, at the time. Bush had a great year too.

I need more of an arugment from at least one of you though.
