Debates Down South: 1980 Heisman Trophy, Herschel Walker vs. George Rogers (ep. 289)




Saturday Down South Podcast show

Summary: We've got a classic debate to discuss involving a pair of SEC programs (South Carolina was independent in 1980). It's Herschel Walker vs. George Rogers for the 1980 Heisman Trophy. Ask Georgia fans and they'll tell you it wasn't much of a debate. Herschel didn't even finish second that year, but in his attempt to become the first true freshman winner ever, many felt that age was the lone factor working against him. Was the wrong decision made? And should we remember Rogers differently? The guys dug into all of that. Connor O'Gara, Chris Marler
