Thought he won it back in the day but it was Simpson, Steve Owens and Plunkett in those years.
long time ago then. Wonder if he was a 27 point favorite over a foe and got his tail kicked while losing his team the game? What is the over/under on Heisman poses he did?
I think you mean when UK won the National Championship.
Well it's not like I actually took the time to research each Winner just happen to know that one off hand.
Nope National Championship was awarded before the bowl games back then. Plus UK play 4 non-1A teams that year and Oklahoma played all Div 1 teams. Oklahoma got the AP and UPI votes as National Champs. NCAA.com list Oklahoma as National Champs

I believe UK was awarded the Natl. Championship by the "sagarin rating system"!!!
Oops, think I am mistaken!!!! Uk upset #1 Ole Miss the year I'm thinking about!!!
Yes that is correct but 50 years later, heck Jeff Sagarin wasn't even born in 1950. Tennessee and Princeton both were name Natinal Champs by other groups in 1950. UK finished 7th in the final polls after they lost to Tennessee.
The SEC has had 12 Heisman winners in history. In the year the player won the Heisman, UK lost to them 8 times and didn't play the other 4 years.
So it looks like Lamar Jackson is the only Heisman winner we have beaten in the year of their award.

We may have beaten some of those guys in their non-Heisman years? I do remember we had Wuerffel beat until a last second pass one year. The 2007 Florida game was a great shootout between Tebow (4 TD passes) and Woodson (5 TD passes). We came close against Cam Newton in 2010; UK's Hartline (23 of 28 passing) outplayed Newton, plus Randall Cobb running/passing, and Trevathan game leading 10 tackles.

That pose needs to be 90 degrees to the right.Dave Ragone? Still have the bobblehead.
Oh wait a minute. Never mind.
A quick look shows that Tim Brown lost his last 2 regular season games at ND and then lost their bowl game in 1987.
Actually since the voting is before the bowl games Florida only had 3 losses when Tebow won the Heisman.
Its definitely Lamar Jackson now, because he is the newest Heisman winner, and we beat him this year. Before him, I don't know.
Yeah, I know. That's why I said during his Heisman season. That's the most losses for a Heisman winner (whole season) in some time.
