Marcus Mariota Won the Heisman, But 10 People Didn't Vote For Him
By Jason McIntyre
Marcus Mariota won the Heisman Trophy by the second largest margin in the award’s history, but can you believe 10 people completely left him off their ballot?
What a joke. Thirty-five people didn’t even hand in a ballot for whatever reason; of the 894 who did, 10 didn’t have Mariota listed among the Top 10.
929 ballots, 894 returned RT @dave34145
