Special to BlogHawgs by Kris Boyd
It’s Heisman Trophy Award Eve, so that means it’s time for our final Blog Hawgs Heisman 5+1 of the season.
Below are the results from the 2012 final voting for the Blog Hawgs Heisman 5+1. The +1 voters feature media members, bloggers, former Division 1 football players and no-talent hacks like myself. The voters are from 12 different states and it is goal of the +1 to eventually feature voters from all 50 states.
Johnny Manziel dominated the first place votes, which are in parentheses. Collin Klein kept it close. The real race was for 3rd place between USCw’s Marqise Lee and Notre Dame’s Manti Te’o. Lee edged Te’o even though Manti received some first place votes.
There was a clear top 5. A few voters noted they felt Te’o wasn’t as impressive as Jadeveon Clowney of South Carolina or Jarvis Jones of Georgia. There was a note from a voter who felt Alabama offensive lineman Barrett Jones was more valuable to his team than Te’o, as Barrett won the Outland Trophy last year, moved to Center this year and was the heart and soul of the best OL for the best team in college football.
Jadeveon Clowney: 1
-Tajh Boyd received no votes even though he led Clemson to a 10-2 record and put up great stats.
-Tavon Austin was shunned despite having over 2,500 yards of total offense.
-Nick Florence received one vote even though his stats were almost identical to Robert Griffin, III’s 2011 Heisman-winning stats while only having two less wins than RG3.
