And the Heisman Goes to...

As predicted, Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith took home the 72nd Heisman Trophy Saturday night in New York, the award that honors college football's best player.

Smith, who won the Davey O'Brien Award as the nation's best quarterback earlier in the week, was the Big Ten offensive player of the year. He led the Buckeyes to a perfect 12-0 record, throwing for 2,507 yards and a school record 30 touchdown passes, with only five interceptions. Smith also led the Big Ten in passing efficiency with a 167.9 rating.

The senior moved to the front of the Heisman race in September with a flawless performance against Texas and finished off a perfect regular season by throwing four touchdown passes against Michigan.

Smith becomes the first Ohio State player to win the Heisman since running back Eddie George claimed U.S. college football's most prestigious award back in 1995.
