Can Florida State's Everett Golson Beat the Curse of the Heisman Trophy?

The past decade has not been kind to teams replacing a Heisman Trophy winner.

It's even worse if you narrow down the list to programs with a new quarterback, which, in this era of the prestigious award, is most of them.

Who could forget life after Johnny Football for Texas A&M? Well, some Aggies certainly would like to after the team experienced plenty of growing pains in an 8-5 season without Johnny Manziel under center. As hard as it is to believe in retrospect, Robert Griffin III was racking up accolades as a rookie in the NFL while Baylor dropped to 8-5 with quarterback Nick Florence following a 10-win campaign.
