1949 Southern Methodist

Doak Walker wasn’t able to win a national championship, but he did just about everything else. He won the Maxwell Award in 1947, the Heisman in 1948, and was named Player of the Year by Collier’s Magazine in 1949. In 35 games he accumulated 288 points, 2,076 rushing yards, 1,786 passing yards (128 of 222 attempts), 454 receiving yards, 750 yards on 50 punt returns, 764 yards on kickoff returns, and averaged 39.6 yards on punts.
