The current article states that Detmer "finished third" in the 1990 Heisman voting. However, the table at the foot of the article, and the Wiki
Heisman Trophy page both list him as having won the award. Which is correct?

Not sure if it has been corrected since you posted but it now states that Ty won the Heisman in 1990 and came in third in 1991 [AlanKley 15 Sept 2006]
