No Heisman For You: Russell Wilson and Wisconsin Lose at Michigan State

If you asked me who was going to win the 2012 Heisman Trophy last week, I instantly would have told you Russell Wilson from Wisconsin. After the season that he’s had, all Russ really had to do was find a way to keep the badgers undefeated and they practically would have been forced to hand him the Heisman in New York City.

His stats have been incredible: 1780 yards, 16 tds, only 3 picks, and 3 rushing tds to top it off. But when you fumble, miss open receivers, and lose the most exciting game of the year it’s hard for Heisman voters to ignore you.

However with the loss Wilson slips back behind undefeated passer Andrew Luck, fellow first time loser Landry Jones, and possibly Boise’s undefeated Kellen Moore. Trent Richardson is making it hard to deny him of first place votes as well. Tyrann Mathieu was suspended for testing positive for synthetic marijuana allegedly so his Heisman hopes are probably dashed as well.
