Today’s discourse focuses on the intriguing history surrounding the last Heisman Trophy winner who did not don a face mask during his collegiate career. Timothy Brown from FootballArchaeology.com joins us to elucidate this captivating narrative, which spans the evolution of football equipment and player safety protocols.

The topic comes from one of Tim's recent Tidbits titled: The Last Heisman Winner without a Face Mask.

Throughout our conversation, we explore the trajectory of the Heisman Trophy, commencing with its inaugural recipient, Jay Berwanger, and culminating with analysis of the changing landscape of helmet design and the adoption of protective gear. Furthermore, we delve into the implications of these advancements on player safety, particularly highlighting the transition from minimal facial protection to the now-ubiquitous face mask. As we reflect on these pivotal moments in football history, we invite our listeners to appreciate the rich tapestry of the sport and the continuous evolution of its practices.
