2011: ROBERT GRIFFIN III
Quarterback, Baylor
Throughout the season, it looked like Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck had a lock on the award, the senior building on a monstrous junior season. Griffin III stayed in the hunt all year, though, putting up big numbers through the air and on the ground. Baylor finished the season with five straight wins, including a signature 45-38 victory over Oklahoma where Griffin passed for 479 yards and four touchdowns. He finished the regular season with 3,998 yards passing, 36 passing touchdowns, 644 yards rushing, and nine rushing touchdowns.
