Seldom has college football seen a more versatile player. A sophomore fullback on a 9-1 team, Hornung shifted to QB in 1955 and earned consensus All-America honors by finishing fourth nationally in total offense and making five interceptions. As a senior he ranked second in total offense and added 55 tackles on defense, thus becoming the lone player in history to win the Heisman for a team that finished with a losing record (2-8). He also kicked and punted, highlighted by a game-winning field goal with 2:15 left against Iowa in 1955.
