Heisman Memorial Trophy Award is presented each year by the Downtown Athletic Club of New York to the nation s outstanding college football player. First known as the D.A.C. Trophy, the award was renamed in 1936 for John W. Heisman, the first athletic director of the Downtown Athletic Club, a football player at Pennsylvania and Brown and a coach for 36 years, including tours at Auburn, Oberlin, Clemson, Akron, Pennsylvania, Rice, Washington & Jefferson and Georgia Tech. The bronze trophy was sculpted by Frank Eliscu with the help of one of Notre Dame s Four Horsemen, Jim Crowley, whose Fordham players posed as models. Since the inception of the Heisman Trophy in 1935, three Army players have garnered the award. Only three other schools Notre Dame (7), Ohio State (6) and Southern California (4) have had more winners. Army s Mr. Inside, Felix Doc Blanchard, and Mr. Outside, Glenn Davis, captured the Heisman in back-to-back years in 1945 and 1946, respectively, leading Army to national championships in both years. Just over a decade later (1958), Pete Dawkins led the Cadets to their most recent Lambert Trophy title and their last undefeated season (8-0-1) on his way to earning the honor. A dozen seasons ago, Mike Mayweather became the first Army player to attract serious attention from Heisman voters since Dawkins selection more than 30 years prior. Mayweather, who graduated from the U.S. Military Academy in 1991 as Army s all-time leading rusher and the most prolific runner in service academy history, finished 10th in the Heisman balloting, garnering three first-place votes. An All-America selection who also finished as second runner-up in voting for the inaugural Doak Walker Award, Mayweather rushed for a school-record 1,338 yards in 1990, concluding with a career mark of 4,299 yards. Army s three Heisman Trophy winners during a return trip to West Point in 1977; (L-R): Glenn Davis, Felix Doc Blanchard and Pete Dawkins.

4 BOWL APPEARANCES 1984 CHERRY BOWL ARMY 10, MICHIGAN STATE PEACH BOWL ARMY 31, ILLINOIS 29 Dec. 22, 1984 Pontiac, Mich. Pontiac Silverdome (70,336) 72 degrees (indoor), calm PONTIAC, Mich. Army had claimed three national championships and seven Lambert Trophy titles, had three Heisman Trophy winners and countless All-Americas; but had never participated in a postseason bowl game. That was prior to After a slate during the regular season, the Cadets were chosen to battle Michigan State in the inaugural Cherry Bowl at the Pontiac Silverdome. Army scored only one touchdown during the game, but that proved to be enough in a 10-6 win over the Spartans. The Cadets converted on two MSU miscues for both their scores. In the second quarter, State quarterback Dave Yarema lost the ball when hit by Bob Kleinhample, before teammate Jim Gentile pounced on the fumble on the MSU 46. Eight runs later, the leading rushing team in Division I-A got on the board when Clarence Jones scored from the 4- yard line. Late in the third quarter, Gentile forced another State fumble; this time it was Jim Jennings covering the loose ball. Craig Stopa capped off the ensuing drive midway through the fourth quarter with a 38-yard field goal, upping the Cadets lead to The Spartans also cashed in on a turnover for their only points in the game. Following a Doug Black fumble, Yarema hit Robert Wasczenski with a 36-yard scoring strike. Quarterback Nate Sassaman, who joined Black in the 1,000-yard rushing club that season, was chosen the Offensive Player of the Game with 136 rushing yards. The Cadets limited Michigan State to 89 yards rushing, capping a stellar showing and a season that marked Army football s return to the national spotlight. Dec. 31, 1985 Atlanta, Ga. Fulton County Stadium (29,857) 46 degrees, rain, west wind 15 mph ATLANTA, Ga. For the second year in a row, Army was invited to a postseason contest, won the game and defeated a Big Ten Conference team in the process. This time, Army s ground forces outlasted Illinois high-powered passing attack in the rain and mud of Atlanta s Fulton County Stadium. However, it was the foot of Army s Craig Stopa that provided the margin of victory. With the Cadets leading 28-23, Stopa nailed a 39-yard field goal in the final quarter to stretch the lead to eight points. Illinois quarterback Jack Trudeau hit David Williams on a 54-yard scoring strike with just 34 seconds left, but his two-point pass attempt was batted down by reserve safety Peel Chronister. His two interceptions and outstanding overall play earned him Defensive Player of the Game honors. Cadet quarterback Rob Healy, who was cited on offense, picked up 107 yards on the ground, including a 22-yard TD. Two other Army backs added to the scoring, but through the air. Halfbacks William Lampley and Clarence Jones each threw an option pass for six points, hitting split ends Benny White and Scott Spellmon, respectively. Fullback Doug Black scored on a 1-yard run. The win gave the Cadets a 9-3 final mark, tying the Academy record for victories in a season, last achieved by the undefeated Army team of Trudeau enjoyed a stellar passing day for Illinois, completing 38 of 56 attempts.

5 BOWL APPEARANCES 1988 JOHN HANCOCK SUN BOWL ALABAMA 29, ARMY 28 Dec. 24, 1988 El Paso, Texas Sun Bowl (48,719) 50 degrees, sunny, SW wind 15 mph EL PASO, Texas Following a twoyear absence from postseason play, the Cadets returned to bowl action after going 9-2 in Looking to extend its unblemished record in postseason bowls to 3-0, Army faced its stiffest holiday-time test, meeting perennial Southeastern Conference power Alabama in the 55th John Hancock Sun Bowl. The Crimson Tide entered the contest heavily favored by as much as two touchdowns yet trailed 14-3 less than one minute into the second quarter, unable to solve the Cadets polished wishbone attack. Army rolled up 232 yards on the ground in the first half alone, including 96 by fullback Ben Barnett, who finished the day with a career-high 177 rushing yards. In the first half, Tide All-America linebacker Derrick Thomas blocked a pair of Keith Walker field goal attempts. After the Crimson Tide had taken its first lead of the game on a 23-yard scoring pass from Mike Smith to Greg Payne in the third stanza, the Cadets answered back when Mike Mayweather just reached the flag on 4thand-goal from the Bama 3. Little more than one minute later, that advantage swelled to when Army defensive back O Neal Miller intercepted an errant Smith toss at his own 43 and returned it 57 yards for a touchdown. Alabama owned the final 15 minutes, rallying for nine points while limiting Army to just 14 offensive plays and 33 total yards.

Independence Stadium (41,366) 74 degrees, muggy, rain showers INDEPENDENCE BOWL AUBURN 32, ARMY 29 SHREVEPORT, La. After compiling the Academy s first 10-win regular season ever, Army s compelling 1996 grid saga was capped by a furious fourth-quarter rally that just fell short against heavily favored Auburn in the 21st annual Poulan/ Weed Eater Independence Bowl. Trailing 32-7 in only their fourth postseason bowl appearance ever, the Cadets turned the tide on Southeastern Conference stalwart Auburn and posted 22 points in the final stanza as quarterback Ronnie McAda masterfully brought the Cadets to within the shadow of the end zone once again as time ticked away. Facing a 3rd-and-6 on the Auburn 10 with 33 seconds left, head coach Bob Sutton called upon senior J. Parker for a potential game-tying 27-yard field goal. Parker, who closed his career ranked fourth on Army s field goals made list and had not missed from inside the 40 all season, pushed his kick to the right and Auburn escaped. Demetrius Perry and Bobby Williams delivered fourth quarter scoring runs to bring Army close. After Auburn was unable to move the ball, McAda marched the Cadets 70 yards in seven plays. His 31-yard scoring pass to Rod Richardson pulled Army within a field goal in the waning moments. A successful onsides kick set the stage for Army s final drive.
