This year marks the 65th and 25th anniversaries for the University of Georgia's two Heisman Trophy winners. UGA's Frank Sinkwich was honored as college football's best player in 1942, and Herschel Walker earned the coveted trophy in 1982. Let's take a look at these two outstanding Bulldogs.

Sinkwich: 1942

Frank Sinkwich, number 21, was UGA's first Heisman Trophy winner in 1942.

Georgia's first Heisman Trophy winner, Frank Sinkwich lead the 1942 Bulldogs to an 11-1 record, an SEC championship and a win over UCLA in the Rose Bowl. In his Heisman-winning season, Sinkwich rushed for 795 yards and 17 touchdowns and passed for 1,392 yards and 10 touchdowns.

In his three-year career at Georgia (1940-42), the versatile tailback amassed 2,271 yards rushing and 2,331 yards passing. Sinkwich also recorded 60 touchdowns: 30 rushing and 30 passing. He was named an All-American in the 1941 and 1942 seasons.

When accepting his Heisman Trophy, Sinkwich proudly wore his Marine uniform.

Among the many noteworthy marks in his career, Sinkwich's 1941 season saw him set an SEC rushing record of 1,103 yards -- a mark that stood for eight years. That same season, his total yardage of 1,816 yards (he'd also passed for 713 yards) set a new SEC total-offense record. All this is even more impressive when noting that Sinkwich played from the third game on with a broken jaw in a protective mask! The 1941 season ended on New Year's Day 1942 with a 40-26 victory over TCU in the Orange Bowl. His performance in this game is still regarded as the greatest in any Orange Bowl: Sinkwich threw 13 passes for 243 yards and three touchdowns, rushed for 139 yards including a 43-yard touchdown run. His combined yardage of 382 yards for the game set the Orange Bowl total offense record.

Frank passed away on October 22, 1990.

Walker: 1982

Herschel Walker, number 34, was awarded the Heisman Trophy in 1982.

Herschel Walker was the seventh junior to be awarded the Heisman Trophy. His 1982 Heisman-winning season was marked by a perfect 11-0 regular season, in which Walker averaged 5.2 yards per carry, rushed for 1,752 yards and scored 17 touchdowns.

In his career at Georgia (1980-1982), Walker amassed an unbelievable 5,259 yards rushing, which remains the NCAA record for yards rushing in three seasons. He was named a consensus All-American from 1980-1982 and in his three years as a Bulldog established 11 NCAA records, 16 Southeastern Conference records and 41 University of Georgia records.

In 1980, Walker finished third in Heisman balloting, having set NCAA marks for most rushing yards by a freshman (1,616), most 200-yard games by a freshman (four), average yards per game by a freshman (146.9), most all-purpose yards by a freshman (1,805) and most rushing touchdowns by a freshman (15). That year, he also was named a first team All-America by seven different organizations and publications.

In his sophomore season in 1981, Walker totaled an SEC-record 1,891 yards as well as a conference mark of 171.9 yards per game. He also ran for more than 100 yards in 11 games, an NCAA record and set an SEC mark with 120 points and 20 touchdowns. He finished second in Heisman voting in 1981.
