Just sayin': He's not necessarily the first Cincinnati Bengal most people think of.
There was support for Chuck Muncie of Cal, he finished second in the voting. Ricky Bell at USC and Tony Dorsett at Pitt also had solid years, but nobody had a truly historic season. No QB was a serious contender.I never saw him play live. I mean... he won his second Heisman before I was even born. So this question is for you older guys who lived through those days. But I remember when Tebow won it in about 2008, as a sophomore, and the next couple of years, people (doofuses on TV) said that he shouldn't win another. Not because he didn't deserve it, but because he already won one. So I'm not trying to start a discussion over whether people should be eligible to win a second Heisman, but just to make the point that some voters possibly wouldn't vote for a guy to win a second.
That said, how much of an issue was it when Archie was on his way to winning his second? Statistically, it wasn't his best season. He had fewer yards (1,357) than in 1973 (1,428) and 1974 (1,620), despite more carries (225 in 1973, 236 in 1974, and 245 in 1975). And it's not like he lit up the world in touchdowns, but I know Pete Johnson was there to score touchdowns.
And I'm not trying to suggest there was or should be some outrage about this. But was there any outrage or controversy in 1975?
