There are two ways of looking at that. Notre Dame and Ohio State have 7. USC won 7, but forfeited one due to controversy, leaving them on 6. So they could be said to be third. The third highest total is for the Oklahoma Sooners, who have 5.

The fifty states of the U.S. are split into six regions, and six regional representatives are selected to appoint voters in their states (the regions include the Far West, the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, Northeast, South, and Southwest). Each region has 145 media votes, for a total of 870 votes. In addition, all previous Heisman winners may vote, and one final vote is counted through public balloting. Although voters still attending college can not vote until said player's collegiate career is over. The Heisman ballots contain a 3-2-1 point system, in which each ballot ranks the voter's top three players and awards them three points for a first-place vote, two points for a second-place vote, and one point for a third-place vote. The points are tabulated, and the player with the highest total of points across all ballots wins the Heisman Trophy.

According to www.heisman.com, there have been only five winners of the Heisman Trophy whose primary position was not running back or QB: 1) 1936 - Larry Kelley, Yale, End 2) 1949 - Leon Hart, Notre Dame, End 3) 1987 - Tim Brown, Notre Dame, Wide Receiver 4) 1991 - Desmond Howard, Michigan, Wide Receiver 5) 1997 - Charles Woodson, Michigan, Cornerback Click on the 'Heisman Trophy Winners' link on this page to see a listing of Heisman winners from www.heisman.com. Thanks much... I just did what you suggested, and I am more confused now. In addition to the players you have listed above, Doc Blanchard ('45), Alan Ameche ('54), & Steve Owens ('69) are listed as FB, which I assume means fullback. I then looked up 'fullback' in Ask.com, and found that the fullback position is not often recognized as a running back any longer. In recent years the position has evolved to be more a blocker than a runner, with occasional pass-catching duties. The remaining prominent fullbacks in the http://www.answers.com/topic/national-football-league are typically employed for breaking through tight defensive alignments, often in short-yardage situations. As a result, fullbacks are typically less known for speed and agility than for muscularity and the ability to avoid being tackled by knocking down defenders. Taking all this into consideration then....there would be a total of eight players on the above list....7 offensive, and 1 defensive!...Go figure!
