This reminds me of when Paul Hornung won the Heisman. ND was a 2-win team in 1956. Sometimes the greatness of a player can supersede the record of a team. Now to see if JJ can keep on keepin' on. Playing RB is risky for injury. I would love to see him get the full four years of 1000+ rushing yards that eluded Simonton and as he does, the team improves too.

And sometimes blatant racism can prevent the real best player, Jim Brown, from winning the 1956 Heisman.

Read up on his multiple accomplishments as a pro and college player to grasp just how great he was.

He was an outstanding player. But he was no Jimmy Brown.

Both statements are true, but the first one is not only true, but a telling indictment of our society that still exists to this day!!!

Both statements are true,
1. Racist voters prevented Jim Brown from winning the 1956 Heisman Trophy.
2. Sometimes the best player is white, and Paul Horning was an outstanding football player.
but the first one is not only true,
Racist voters prevented Jim Brown from winning the 1956 Heisman Trophy.
but a telling indictment of our society that still exists to this day!!!
Racism still exists today.

I understood it, it was more of a “huh” in this context. We should keep this page to the incredible feats accomplished by JJ this year that were recognized by voters selecting him these great honors. Great job kid.
