Was a bit surprising too. Top 25 overall is higher than I thought we'd be.

iowa has had several #2 finishers.

 

[HawkeyeHypnosis]

Cal jones was I think 10th overall in the Heisman race.

 

[imported_ankle23]

Alex Karras, Randy Duncan, Chuck Long, Brad Banks all #2 finishers.

Greene 5th

Dwight 7th.

Kinnick obviously won it. Not sure if the above information was in the article linked.

 

[HawkeyeHypnosis]

It did not list the Heisman finalists for each school or conference. We've got some good history.

Went through this site out of curiosity.

Kenny Ploen QB 1956 was 9th, Randy Duncan was 2nd in 1958, Chuck Long was 7th in 1984

Iowa just missed the 2000's
Brad Banks (9pts)
Shon Greene (5pts)

2000s

1. USC, 56
2. Oklahoma, 51
3. Florida, 33
4. Texas, 31
5. Miami, 28

USC notches its first decade win thanks to three winners (though one is later vacated). Oklahoma not far behind, one of four Big 12 teams (at the time) to place.
