Check out this cool story from The Wichita Eagle about the three generations of Oklahoma Heisman winners: Steve Owens (1969), Billy Sims (1978) and Jason White (2003):Three players who amassed 16,104 yards of offense during their OU careers and own a list of records that would stretch from Guymon to Tahlequah. Three players who aren't just former football players, but OU icons.White is the latest to get his Heisman. He remembers how nervous he was on that night in New York, but not nervous about his name being called.
There was no way that was going to happen, even though he had thrown for 40 touchdowns.
Then, of course, his name was called. He remembers losing all sensation and becoming numb from head to toe.
If not for an unfortunate injury this past Saturday, Adrian Peterson might have had that feeling, too.
