In 1997, Peyton Manning called a press conference to announce he would be returning for his senior season at Tennessee.  The crowd erupted.  Heisman trophy all but assured.  Then Woodson did his thing.

Peyton was the favorite to win the Heisman from the start.  He had a Heisman type year too.  However, Chuck wanted it more.

I currently work for a company that has a plant just north of Knoxville.  Most of the guys (and gals) are bitter against us because of Chuck.  I just say, "The best man won".  You talk about anger.  One of the women admitted that she cried when Peyton lost.  She still has the front page of the Knoxville Paper and the headlines read "HEISMAN HELD HOSTAGE"  The narrative says: "It is obvious to the entire nation that Manning deserved to win"  

Errr the writer forgot to add '...the "Tennessee" Nation.....

Now T has not had anything to cheer about recently so they hold on to the "Stolen Heisman".

Only incentive would be 1) B10 Championship and 2) Fun in college but he's been here 4 years and I think it's good for our program to have elite guys leave and get drafted early.

He goes in the draft fresh off of a very solid performance against a top 5 pick next year, or, he stays and devastates people for another year.

Hard to see how a kid who is likely a top 10 pick stays another year, but who knows.  Barkley is not the example I would use.  He really screwed himself by staying; injury + poor performance = wish I would have got a better degree.

..........but I don't think he hurt it much at all, either. On the year he completed nearly 64% of his passes and threw 36 TD's to 15 int's, going for 3300 yards in 11 games. Last year he was at 69% passing, throwing for 39 TD's to 7 int's for 3500 yards in 12 games.

 

His completion percentage wasn't that big of a drop-off from last year, and his yardage per game actually picked up a little, throwing nearly the same TD's per game. His biggest negative this year is the int's, which more than doubled. Overall, though, I'd say that his 2012 and 2011 seasons were similar, in terms of his performance.

 

Now that I've essentially defended a player I dislike, from a team that I hate, I'm gonna go throw up now.
