I seem to recall that South Central Louisiana State University won the Bourbon Bowl with a s---ty offense but a good kicker (Derrick Wallace) and a teriffic linebacker (Bobby Boucher). Go MudDogs!

No, because if he is "consistently" kicking 70 yard field goals, I'm left to assume he's not playing on that great of a team. Most, not all, Heisman winners play for top 10 teams. If your offense can't move the ball past mid-field on a "consistent" basis, then they're not scoring a lot of points, and probably not winning a lot of games.
Although, I would love to see it and would vote for him, if I could.
*"consisently" meaning one or two per game...
Incorrect. Fellows went both ways in the day.
If any kicker hits a couple of 70 yard FG's a game he'll definitely win the Heisman. That's a tremendous--and impossible--offensive weapon.
Said kicker would definitely get invited to the Yale Club, because the buzz would be so strong, but winning the Heisman would be another matter. I think that he would rack up a ton of points, but at the same time, the offense would probably not care as much about Td's, b/c if you could get it to midfield, you'd have an easy 3, so a team's overall record could suffer, causing him to lose (see Leftwich) But if there was a kicker that could go 70 for 84 (about 6 kicks a game) and hit about everything under 60, and lead his team to a 10-2 record on a decent media market team, you'd probably have to give him the Heisman

I believe that some guy set the collegiate rushing yards record this year, and didn't even get mentioned as a potential Heisman finalist, because he wasn't known by the populace... You have to be very popular, and kickers are never too popular.
