A 6-foot-1, 200-pound senior from Omaha, Neb., Crouch ran for 1,115 yards and 18 touchdowns, passed for 1,510 yards and seven scores and caught a 63-yard TD pass in a win over Oklahoma.
Crouch was 35-6 as a starter and led the nation's top rushing offense with a knack for breaking big runs and hitting key passes. Crouch completed 55.6 percent of his passes. He's one of only three major college quarterbacks to run for 3,000 yards and pass for 4,000 yards in a career.
The 23-year-old Crouch, who has a 2-year old daughter with his fiance, Nikki, is the third Heisman winner from Nebraska.
