COMPARE: Oregon
Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon ran for a then all-time single season rushing record of 2,587 yards in 2014, and yet he still fell 1,284 votes shy of first place winner Marcus Mariota.
The Ducks' QB threw for an incredible 4,454 yards, 42 touchdowns, just 4 interceptions, and ran for another 770 yards and 15 scores. He even caught a touchdown that season in leading Oregon to a national title game appearance that ended with a 42-20 defeat at the hands of Ohio State.
