When the 78th Heisman Memorial Trophy is handed out Saturday, Dec. 8 at the Best Buy Theater in Times Square, there’s a solid chance – like the first 77 – a player from West Virginia University’s name will not be on it.
Unlike a lot of years, the Mountaineers do have a few players who deserve to be in the discussion. But they also have five losses.
While the award is not necessarily designated to go to the best player on the best team, history suggests voters don’t generally consider a lot of the best players from average teams. Notre Dame’s Paul Hornung remains the only Heisman winner to play for a losing team.

After 5 games the trophy was Geno’s to lose. And he did just that. I have often said If Pat White could not win a Heisman, no player from WVU ever would, just becasue of who we are.
Geno was getting all the love, new conference, espn interviews, and was the run away favorite. Then they quit. So we cant complain.
Sad part is Tavon Austin is much more deserving and not even in the talk because the team decided to take a few games off. He is 10 times the player who will win the award.
