Heisman Trophy Finalists 2012


The Greatest Award in Sports
With the college football season in the books, it's that time again. Time to announce the Heisman Trophy winner for 2012. Three players are headed to New York for the Trophy Presentation, those three men being Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein, Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, also known as Johnny Football, and Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o. All three players had a great year, but only one really has a chance of winning the award, with Manziel being the favorite to haul in the hardware. That's something really impressive considering he is only a freshman.

Manziel has thrown for 3,419 yards on the season, while completing 68.3 percent of his passes. Manziel threw for 24 touchdowns, and also made an impact on the ground this season, rushing for 1,181 yards, and 19 scores. He burst right onto the scene as a freshman, and if he doesn't take home the trophy this year, there's a very strong chance that he will his sophomore or junior season. Collin Klein and Manti Te'o both had an amazing year, but neither one really will come close to winning this trophy. Te'o is at a disadvantage because only one person has ever won the Heisman that was a defensive player, and that was Charles Woodson for the university of Michigan back in 1997. Klein is great, but he isn't Johnny Football.


Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M should bring home the Heisman.

    Johnny Manziel definitely deserves this award more than any other finalist. I like the fact that Te'o is a finalist, but I don't think he deserves this trophy. It will be interesting to see if Manziel doesn't win the award because he's a freshman, though. I guess only time will tell...........

    I think that Manziel deserves the award without a doubt, but put this in prospective. The way Michael Mauti played this season is very comparable to how Te'o played this year. That being said if Notre Dame isn't sitting at 12-0 right now we would have no idea who Manti Te'o is

    The only thing against Manziel is the fact that he is a freshman. It shouldn't affect who gets the award, but who knows what will happen? He's the clear choice for me.
