For just the sixth time in 82 years, no running backs received an invite to Saturday's Heisman Trophy presentation (8 p.m. ET on ESPN/WatchESPN). Texas' D'Onta Foreman and San Diego State's Donnel Pumphrey, however, each made a strong Heisman push.
Foreman and Pumphrey are the nation's only running backs to surpass the 2,000-yard mark this season. Only four other players in FBS history have rushed for over 2,000 yards through conference championship games without finishing in the top five of Heisman voting. The only other season in which multiple 2,000-yard rushers missed the Heisman ceremony was 2007.
