2011 Heisman Trophy Winner is Robert Griffin III

The 2011 Heisman Trophy winner was Robert Griffin III from Baylor. Griffin finished 1st with 1687 points. Andrew Luck, Trent Richardson, Montee Ball and Tyrann Mathieu were the 4 other finalist. I give my opinion on the top 10 players vote receivers and give my order in which I thought it should have been.

1. Robert Griffin III, Baylor.
Robert Griffin III won the Heisman with 1687 points and 405 first place votes. Griffin had 3998 passing yards, 36 passing TDs and 6 INTs. He also had 644 rushing and 9 rushing TDs. He had a total of 45 TDs, 6 short of Cam Newton's 51 last year. His QB efficiency rating was tops in the nation at 192.3. He was 4th in the nation in competition percent (72.4%) and TDs. He was 6th in the nation in passing yards. He was the best player in college football even though his Bears only won 9 games. I agree with his 1st place finish.

2. Andrew Luck, Stanford.
Andrew Luck placed 2nd in the Heisman with 1407 points and 247 first place votes. Luck had 3170 passing yards, 35 passing TDs and 9 INTs. He also scored 2 rushing TDs. His QB efficiency rating was 5th in the nation at 167.5. He had a 70.0% completion percent which was 8th in the nation. His 35 TDs were 5th most. Luck was great in the red zone never turning the ball over. He probably go #1 overall in the NFL draft. He helped his team to a 11-1 record and a spot in the Fiesta Bowl. He finished 2nd last year and I agree with him finishing 2nd again.

3. Trent Richardson, Alabama.
Trent Richardson placed 3rd in the Heisman with 978 points and 138 first place votes. Richardson had 1583 rushing yards and 20 rushing TDs. He also scored 3 receiving TDs. He averaged 6.0 yards per rush. He was 6th in the nation in rushing yards and 5th in rushing TDs. He helped his team to a 11-1 record and a spot in the National Championship. He finished 3rd, but I disagree I believe that Montee Ball had a better season than Richardson. Ball scored 12 more rushing TDs and had more yards than Richardson did.

4. Montee Ball, Wisconsin.
Montee Ball placed 4th in the Heisman with 348 points and 22 first place votes. Ball had 1759 rushing yards and 32 rushing TDs. He also scored 6 receiving TDs. He averaged 6.4 yards per rush. He was led the nation in rushing yards and in rushing TDs. He helped his team to a 11-2 record and a spot in the Rose Bowl after winning the Big 10.  He finished 4th, but I disagree I believe that Montee Ball had a better season than Richardson. Ball scored 12 more rushing TDs and had more yards than Richardson did.

5. Tyrann Mathieu, LSU. 

Tyrann Mathieu placed 5th in the Heisman with 327 points and 34 first place votes. Mathieu was the best defensive player in college football. He shut down everyone he faced. 2 INTs and 5 forced fumbles. His 5 forced fumbles were tied for 6th most in the nation. He was also an great punt returner. He has 420 return yards, which was 2nd most in the nation. He also returned 2 punts for a TDs which was tied for 2nd most. He helped his team go 13-0, win the SEC and earn a spot in the National Championship. I agree with him finishing 5th.

6. Matt Barkley, USC. 

Matt Barkley placed 6th in the Heisman with 153 points and 11 first place votes. Luck had 3528 passing yards, 39 passing TDs and 7 INTs. He also scored 2 rushing TDs. His QB efficiency rating was 8th in the nation at 161.2. He had a 69.1% completion percent which was tied for 10th in the nation. His 39 TDs were 3rd most.  He helped his team to a 10-2 record. They would have one the Pac-12 South except USC had a postseason ban. He is one of the favorite for next year if he stays in school. I agree with his 6th place finish.

7. Case Keenum, Houston. 

Case Keenum placed 7th in the Heisman with 123 points and 10 first place votes. Keenum had 5099 passing yards, 45 passing TDs and 5 INTs. He also scored 3 rushing TDs. His QB efficiency rating was 3rd in the nation at 177.9. He had a 71.7% completion percent which was 6th in the nation. His 45 TDs and 5099 passing yards both led the nation. He helped his team to a 12-1 record. They lost in the C-USA Title Game and lost their chance for a BCS Bowl. I agree with his 7th place finish. He also finished 8th in the 2009 Heisman.

8. Kellen Morre, Boise State. 

Kellen Morre placed 8th in the Heisman with 90 points and 6 first place votes. Morre had 3507 passing yards, 41 passing TDs and 7 INTs. His QB efficiency rating was 4th in the nation at 176.8.

They lost to TCU and finished 2nd in the MWC and missed a BCS Bowl because of it.  I agree with his 8th place finish. He also finished 4th in the 2010 Heisman and 7th in the 2009 Heisman. 

9. Russell Wilson, Wisconsin. 

Russell Wilson placed 8th in the Heisman with 90 points and 6 first place votes. Wilson had 2879 passing yards, 31 passing TDs and 3 INTs. He also scored 5 rushing TDs.
