As football season approaches, so begins the commentary and speculation on the upcoming season. The OU Daily, local campus paper is already talking about possible Heisman candidates:

So, will this year be any different? Will we have the second player in history to win the Heisman, or will a new player hoist the trophy in December?

Again, we have a perfectly fine sentence, aside from the fact that it is completely inaccurate! There have been numerous winners of the trophy already. What they meant was "second player to win the Heisman twice." Huge difference there.
