No way he should have not won the Heisman this year..And if not for MR. Twister Darnell Dockett(FSU) we would have been in the National Championship game vs. Miami..
Also, you have to take into account the receivers he was throwing to (all NFL players - Gaffney, Caldwell, Jacobs (albeit a flop), Troupe) and the separation they were getting IN THE SEC. Those guys were also making great catches in tight coverage. How did that Florida team not win the national championship? Oh yeah, Miami in its prime and Clarett OSU.
@flashbang11 Actually, that year Florida lost to Auburn in a tropical storm and somehow lost to Tennessee. They were every bit as good as Miami, and I don't think Clarett arrived at OSU until 2002.
@bull864 You're right, Miami beat Nebraska & Eric Crouch in the 2001 championship game at the Rose Bowl. In both of their losses that year the Gators were without running back Ernest Graham. Nebraska, like Alabama this year, played in the national championship game without having played in their conference championship game.
@knoeful This 2001 Florida team was the best two loss team in the history of college football. I'm a South Carolina fan, and we were a good team in '01 and Florida absolutely destroyed us in our house in front of 85,000 rabid fans. I'm not sure this wasn't Spurrier's best Florida team, even better than the 1996 version.
@bull864 I remember that "Black Out" night in Columbia, such excitement when the Gamecocks took the lead but it didn't turn out the way the home-folks intended as the Gators scored on something like nine straight possessions. The 2001 Florida team sure was fun. I've continued to be a Spurrier fan.
People are so hard on Grossman now but watching this video makes it impossible to call him a bad quarterback. Maybe he's no Manning or Brady in the NFL, but he clearly had all the tools. If he had a better system and made a few better decisions, he could have looked like this in the NFL maybe.. then again, maybe not.. great vid though!
Gaffney is very underrated as a pro receiver but now he's paired back up with Grossman in Washington. May not sound like much now but Shanahans are much better coaches than the offensive staff that was in Chicago during Grossman's years there.
Rex is the best!

Grossman should have won the Heisman that year. Got robbed because he was a sophomore.
