Title: "Alabama receiver Amari Cooper falls short in Heisman Trophy voting in record-breaking season" Post by: WALL-E on December 13, 2014, 08:01:02 PM Alabama receiver Amari Cooper falls short in Heisman Trophy voting in record-breaking season

Attempting to become the first non-kick returning receiver to win the Heisman Trophy, the Alabama junior finished third in the voting. Oregon's Marcus Mariota, who Cooper could face in the national title game, became the first Duck to win the sport's highest honor. Melvin Gordon of Wisconsin was second. Cooper was Alabama's fourth finalist in six years, but Mark Ingram remains Alabama's only winner from 2009. AJ McCarron was second a year ago behind Florida State's Jameis Winston.

Ok then. He'll just go ahead and manage us to another National Championship, while all the trophy winners are sitting home, on their couches, next to their trophies, watching it all go down.

I didn't expect any votes for Sims with Cooper up for it too. That would have diluted the voting for Cooper.ESPN pointed out that Cooper received the second highest number of first place votes, but finished third because Gordon had a ton of second place votes. Everyone said Mariota was a shoe-in, and apparently that was true, as he had the second largest margin of victory in history, with over 90% of the possible votes.

Mariota was clearly the best player in college this year and Gordon was just an absolute beast at RB.
