Question: Who is the only other Colorado player to win the Heisman Trophy?

Answer: The last Colorado player to win the Heisman was running back Rashaan Salaam in 1994. The year he won the Heisman, Salaam rushed for 2,055 yards and 24 touchdowns. He also rushed for a career-high 298 attempts and averaged 6.9 yards per carry.

Colorado has had two other Heisman finalists in the past. Quarterback Darian Hagan finished in fifth place in 1989, while running back Eric Bienemy, the Buffaloes’ all-time leading rusher, finished third in 1990.
