Brady Quinn Finishes Third in Heisman Trophy Balloting
Dec. 9, 2006 NEW YORK -
Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn finished third in Saturday night's voting for the 2006 Heisman Trophy, making him the highest Irish finisher since Raghib Ismail took second to BYU's Ty Detmer in the 1990 Heisman race.
Quinn, the 2006 Maxwell Award winner, led Notre Dame to a 10-2 regular season and a second consecutive BCS bowl appearance. He threw for a school record 35 touchdown passes and 3,278 yards. Quinn eclipsed 3,000 yards passing for the second straight season (only Notre Dame player to ever accomplish the feat once, let alone twice). He tossed just five interceptions all season and actually went 223 consecutive passes without a pick over one stretch. Quinn not only holds 36 school records, but also ranks among the top 10 in NCAA Division I-A history in both passing yards (11,614) and passing touchdowns (93).
NORTHEAST MID-ATLANTIC SOUTH SOUTHWEST MIDWEST FAR WEST Quinn, who was fourth in Heisman voting last season, hoped to become the eighth player from Notre Dame to win the award and would break a tie with USC as the school with the most. Tim Brown was the last Fighting Irish player to take home the trophy in 1987.
Notre Dame takes on fourth-ranked LSU (10-2) in the 2007 Allstate Sugar Bowl in the Louisiana Superdome on Jan. 3.
