Heisman Trophy
Ticket Museum
This site is dedicated to the history of college football and its most coveted award...
The Heisman Memorial Trophy
which is presented annually to college football's most outstanding player.
The purpose of this site is to chronicle the college football season of every Heisman Memorial Trophy winner as illustrated through the beauty and artistry of game ticket stubs.
My goal is to collect a ticket stub, press pass, sideline pass, or any other form of entry to every regular season football game played during each Heisman Trophy winners Heisman Trophy winning season.
While I do prefer game ticket stubs over all other forms of entry, I will include others when I cannot find a ticket stub. I do add Bowl games and Playoff games, but they are not mandatory to the collection.
I am continually searching for the missing ticket stubs for this collection.
Please let me know if you have any of my needs available for sale or trade.
These missing tickets can be seen on each page identified with a "wanted" icon.
They can also be found in list form by clicking on the on the "TICKETS NEEDED" tab.
To date, I have acquired 845 of the 944 tickets (90%) necessary
to complete the collection between the years of 1935-2019.
Tickets beginning with the COVID-19 year of 2020 are very difficult to obtain as most schools and venues stopped printing tickets, instead going to digital formats.
I do not include any ticket from the COVID-19 year (2020) and going forward in the total
required for completion, unless I have obtained one and it as part of the collection.
That being said, on most occasion's they do exist in box office form.
I still try to obtain them when I am able to do so.
Please use the tabs below to view this collection by decade.
(for best viewing, I recommend using the desktop version, but a mobile version is also available)
I hope you enjoy this site as much as enjoy bringing it to you!
1990 Ty Detmer - Brigham Young
Detmer was born in San Marcos, Texas, and attended Southwest High in San Antonio, where he earned letters in golf, football, basketball, baseball, and track. As a 1986 senior, Detmer won high school All-American honors in football and was the Texas Player of the Year. He also won all-state honors in baseball and all-district accolades in basketball.
He signed with BYU and, after redshirting the 1987 season, showed early flashes of greatness in 1988 by coming off the bench to lead the Cougars to a 20-17 win over Colorado in the Freedom Bowl.
Detmer took over the starting job the following season and set the NCAA record for passing by a sophomore with 4,560 yards (with 32 touchdowns). His rating of 175.6 nearly broke the NCAA record for pass efficiency in a season. On December 1, 1990, Ty Detmer was awarded the Heisman Trophy.

The 6-foot, 175-pounder finished the 1990 regular season with 5,188 yards passing and 41 touchdowns to go with 5,022 yards of total offense. Detmer won BYU’s first Heisman by producing the most passing yards and total offense in the history of the award. He is the last Heisman winner to come from a school that does not play in a major FBS conference. By the end of his collegiate career, Detmer had broken 59 NCAA records and tied three others. After finishing his record-setting career at BYU and earning a bachelor’s degree in recreation administration, Detmer was drafted in the 9th round of the 1992 NFL draft by the Green Bay Packers. He had a pretty decent journeyman career, playing for the Packers, Philadelphia Eagles, Cleveland Browns and the Atlanta Falcons.
Ty Detmer was elected into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2012.

1991 Desmond Howard - Michigan
Howard was born in Cleveland, Ohio and earned All-American and All-Ohio honors as a tailback during his 1987 senior season at St. Joseph High School, scoring 18 touchdowns while snagging 10 interceptions on defense. He earned three varsity letters each in track and football, as well as one in basketball.
He chose to attend Michigan as a running back, but struggled early in his career. Three days into his first camp in Ann Arbor, it was decided to try him at wide receiver. The transition was not a smooth one and Howard redshirted his freshman year in 1988 and had just nine catches in 1989. He broke out as a sophomore, however, with 63 catches for 1,025 yards and 11 touchdowns. He also showed his versatility, running for 58 yards and averaging 29.6 yards on kickoffs, with a touchdown return. Howard was sublime as a 1991 junior as he helped Michigan to a 10-1 regular season record, a Big Ten title and a No. 4 ranking. His acrobatic catches and explosive returns

Desmond Keith Howard (May 15, 1970)
made him one of the most electrifying players ever to play the college game. He became the first receiver in Big Ten history to lead the conference in scoring (138 points) as he set or tied five NCAA records and 12 single-season Michigan records. He caught 61 passes for 960 yards and 19 scores, rushed 12 times for 165 yards and two TDs, averaged 15.3 yards (with a TD) on punt returns and 31 yards on kick returns (with a TD). On December 14, 1991, Desmond Howard was awarded the Heisman Trophy. The All-American won the Heisman by the second largest margin of victory in the trophy’s history. The Washington Redskins drafted him in the first round of the 1992 NFL draft, fourth overall. While he never caught on as a receiver, he turned himself into one of the greatest kick returners in NFL history and won a Super Bowl MVP with the Packers.
Desmond Howard was elected into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2010.

1992 Gino Torretta - Miami
Torretta was born in Pinole, Calif., and starred for the Pinole High football team as a senior in 1987. He joined the Miami football program the following season and, after redshirting, he was a timely contributor to the 1989 national title team, throwing for 1,325 yards and eight touchdowns in relief of the injured Craig Erickson. His big highlight was a school-record 485 passing yards against San Diego State. He was less productive as a sophomore, throwing for 210 yards as a reserve, but he won the starting job in 1991 and proceeded to lead Miami to its fourth national title in nine season. Torretta had 3,095 yards and 20 touchdowns as the ‘Canes went 12-0. He entered the 1992 season as one of the favorites for the Heisman and he did not disappoint. Torretta threw for 3,070 yards and 19 touchdowns to once again lead Miami to an undefeated regular season.

On December 12, 1992, Gono Torretta was awarded the Heisman Trophy. When he was awarded the Heisman over Marshall Faulk, the ‘Canes were sitting on 29-straight wins — 23 of them with Torretta as the starter. Torretta also won the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, the Maxwell Trophy and the Davey O’Brien national quarterback awards. He finished his Miami career with eleven school passing records, including career attempts (991), completions (555), yards (7,690), total offense (7,772), longest pass (99 yards to Horace Copeland vs. Arkansas, an NCAA record) and most passing yards in a game (485 vs. San Diego State).
In 2008, Torretta was inducted into the University of Miami’s Ring of Honor.
Gino Torretta was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2009.

1998 Ricky Williams - Texas
The 6-foot, 225-pound Williams was born in San Diego, Calif., where he prepped at Patrick Henry High. He was considered one of the top running backs in the country as a 1994 senior, when he rushed for 2,099 yards and 25 touchdowns. Williams left the West Coast and signed with Texas, citing the state’s love of football.
He began his career in Austin as a fullback in a freshman year that saw him break Campbell’s freshman rushing record with 990 yards and eight touchdowns on just 166 carries. As a sophomore, he rushed for 100 yards seven times and registered 1,272 yards and 12 TDs.
Williams broke out as a junior, leading the nation with 1,893 rushing yards and 25 touchdowns while finishing fifth in the 1997 Heisman vote. He entered 1998 as one of the front runners for the award and, also, within reach of Dorsett’s record. Williams solidified his place in college football history with a dash

to that record in 1998.
Ricky Williams was awarded the Heisman Trophy on December 12, 1998. Williams led Texas to a 9-3 record, set 21 NCAA records and received what was then the greatest percentage of first-place votes cast in Heisman history (43% of the 920 voters). Williams produced one of the finest seasons in college football history in 1998, rushing for 2,124 yards and 27 TDs. He also became the first-ever two-time winner of the Doak Walker Award and claimed the Maxwell and Walter Camp Foundation Player of the Year awards. In the 1999 NFL draft, Mike Ditka and the New Orleans Saints stunned the sports world by trading their entire draft in 1999 and first and third-round selections in 2000 (to the Washington Redskins) for the right to select Williams with the fifth pick.
Ricky Williams was elected into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2015.

1999 Ron Dayne - Wisconsin
Dayne was born in Blacksburg, Va., but grew up mostly in New Jersey. His stardom began while attending Overbrook High School in Pine Hill, where he was heavily recruited for his football and track and field prowess. He won state titles in both the shot put and discus — his best of 216-11 in the discus throw is still one of the best prep marks of all time. On the gridiron, he rushed for 1,566 yards and scored 27 touchdowns as a junior and followed that up with 1,785 yards and 24 TDs as a senior.
Dayne averaged over 10 yards per carry during his high-school career, but as a 270-pound athlete, the expectation was that he would not play tailback in college. Most schools recruited him as a fullback, but Wisconsin saw him as a primary ball carrier, so he signed to play for the Badgers in the spring of 1996. His impact was immediate and huge. The “Dayne Train” carried the ball 1,220 times in his college career, becoming the

work horse in Wisconsin’s fabled ground game. He gained 1,863 yards as a freshman, 1,421 as a sophomore, 1,325 as a junior, and 1,834 as a senior, becoming one of only five players to rush for over a thousand yards in four consecutive years. He ended his college career with 6,397 rushing yards, a total that still stands as the most ever in FBS history, eclipsing Ricky Williams previous record set in 1998. On December 11, 1999, Ron Dayne was awarded the Heisman Trophy. Dayne led Wisconsin to back-to-back Rose Bowl victories in his final two seasons. In those games, he came up huge, rushing for a combined 446 yards in wins over UCLA and Stanford. He’s the only Big Ten player in history to win back-to-back Rose Bowl MVP awards. Dayne was drafted with the 11th overall pick by the New York Giants in the 2000 NFL draft.
Ron Dayne was elected into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2013.
