Heisman seasons are a strong indicator of success, so how have the Gators fared against the competition during their opponents’ Heisman seasons?
Some quick Heisman Trophy background:
- First Heisman Trophy was awarded in 1935 to RB Jay Berwanger from the University of Chicago.
- Last December, Kyler Murray of Oklahoma was awarded the 84th Heisman Trophy.
- Ohio State’s Archie Griffin, the only two-time Heisman, took home the award in 1974 and 1975 meaning there have been 83 total Heisman Trophy-winning players.
The Florida Gators have played against 14 of these 83 Heisman winners, however, 10 of these matchups have occurred since 1982.
