The bigger reason there would be that Bruce Smith didn't win the Heisman, no?

OH HOLY SHIT. 1949 Bruce Smith. That's a badass answer there!

Bengal's answer was bad ass as fuck. I was tempted to go Glenn Davis but had no idea how far back the AP poll went. Glad I didn't.

In retrospect, I know Geography. So I should have taken one of the movie spots and provided my own question there.

Benefit of living near Annapolis now, and getting Army/Navy game coverage more than I used to. You hear and read stuff that sticks.

How did I miss this angle? I'm doing movie awards, hockey, and Founding Fathers' middle names. Also, pop songs after 1980. And a new category called "Questions with Detroit Answers."

If you do President's middle names I'll get a 1 for Warren Gamaliel Harding.

Florida really is underrated for the overall shittiness it produces at WR. It's as counter intuitive as Big Ten RBs.

I knew Crash won the Oscar and I can't name the director, so that was the basis for my guess. Most of the other Oscar winners I thought of, I know who directed them.

INCORRECT ANSWERS (11)
Sammy Watkins - BSF
Michael Irvin - DC
Chad Jackson - Rass
Ricky Nattiel - Sancarlos
Warrick Dunn - Shirley
Ricky Nattiel - Sancarlos
Mike Wallace - Trav
Joe Shabadoo - PDX

Michael Irvin is a right answer, unless you arbitrarily restrict the meaning of "since 1990" to have no margin of error. Also, even if this irrational stance is not ameliorated, three of the four components of a right answer are definitely present -- Florida college, wide receiver, first round draft pick. 3/4 rounds up to one (correct answer) in all modern math texts.

Further, wasn't Joe Shabadoo at FSU-Springfield? I think I remember the Lions drafting him in the first round in the 90s. He would have been a great one, except that he was hit by a car while shooting up in prison, where he was serving time for armed robbery.

Irvin drafted in 88. Not your best day, DC!
