According to ESPN Benson was asked which would he prefer -beat Oklahoma or win the Heisman and he responded win the Heisman. According to the ESPN reporter, Benson was asked the question again to give him an opportunity to re-think his answer and he repeated that no he always dreamed of the Heisman and that would be bigger for him.
They had Mack brown on later and Brown was asked about Bensons comments and man, did he dance. He claimed that Benson was misunderstood and is a good kid that wants to win.
Maybe winning Heisman is bigger than beating Oklahoma.
Assuming it is an "either/or", I side with Benson. Oklahoma has lost approx. half of it's previous 5 games.
However if you link beating Oklahoma as a requisite for playing in the BCS national championship, it is a different story.
