Louisville Football: Last 10 Heisman Winners And Their Season Records
By Derek Snyder
2006: Troy Smith | Quarterback | Ohio State Buckeyes (12-1)
Our last Heisman Trophy winner of this article also led his team to the National Championship game, but ended up losing to the Florida Gators. Other than beating the Michigan Wolverines by three, the Buckeyes destroyed everyone else that they played in 2006.
Here is what the Heisman Trophy’s website had to say about Smith:
"“It was in 2006 that Smith came into his own, completing 67 percent of his passes for 2,507 yards and 30 touchdowns with just five interceptions while leading the Buckeyes to an undefeated regular season. He capped the year by receiving 86.7 percent of the Heisman vote, the second highest percentage in the history of the award. Smith graduated from Ohio State with a bachelor’s degree in communications. He was drafted in the fifth round of the 2007 NFL draft (174th overall) by the Baltimore Ravens. He later played for the 49ers, the Steelers and in the CFL.”"
