O.J. Simpson (Football—University of Southern California)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O._J._Simpson#University_of_Southern_California

Another dramatic touchdown in the same game [of 1967] is the subject of the Arnold Friberg oil painting, O.J. Simpson Breaks for Daylight.
In 1968, he rushed for 1,709 yards and 22 touchdowns, earning the Heisman Trophy, the Maxwell Award, and the Walter Camp Award that year. He still holds the record for the Heisman’s largest margin of victory, defeating the runner-up by 1,750 points.

Reggie Bush killed USC’s bowl eligibility for the next two years. O.J. Simpson killed his ex-wife. (Allegedly.) Both Heisman-winning running backs.

Heisman-winning USC quarterbacks just kill their NFL teams’ records.

Motto: if you’re going to play USC football, don’t shoot for the Heisman. Aim low. For everyone’s sake.
