Gino Torretta beat out Marshall Faulk and UGA football legend Garrison Hearst for the 1992 Heisman Trophy, but did he truly deserve the award?

UGA football only has two Heisman Trophy winners in this history of its program; Frank Sinkwich in 1942 and Herschel Walker in 1982. It has been 39 years since a Bulldog last hoisted the Heisman Trophy, but one Bulldog was very close in 1992.
