In the end, the rape allegations didn’t even hurt Jameis Winston’s chances for the Heisman one bit. The 19-year-old FSU quarterback won the 2013 Heisman trophy on Saturday, the youngest winner in history. Winston received 668 first-place votes out of 900, with runner-up AJ McCarron receiving just 79. Last year’s winner, Johnny Manziel, received just 30 votes. Winston has already had a record-breaking year for Florida State, and the Seminoles will play Auburn in the BCS game on January 6. Winston learned just over a week ago that he will not face charges after being accused by a fellow student of sexual assault, although an attorney for the victim has called for a larger investigation.
