College Football Nation: Heisman race currently a dud Nov 13, 2009
And maybe, just maybe, even someone who, gasp, plays defense might get consideration for an award ostensibly for the game's most outstanding player but which has never gone to a player who played exclusively on defense (Larry Kelley, Leon Hart and Charles Woodson all played both offense and defense). Houston's Keenum is certainly a legitimate candidate, though Central Michigan's LeFevour is probably not. (Allston Brighton TAB, MA)

Pre-Camp Assessment - Joseph Fauria May 31, 2009
Penn State has staked its claim to the linebacker; USC to the tailback; Nebraska to the offensive lineman; Miami to the defensive tackle; and for four decades, to the tight end (or you could go back to the 40s and reasonably add Heisman Trophy winner Leon Hart).
