Question: The star player for which team in the 1951 Sugar Bowl went on to win the Heisman Trophy the next year?

 Oklahoma's regular season record was 10-0; Kentucky's was 10-1.  Oklahoma averaged 34.5 points per game; only one team had scored more than twice in a game against Kentucky that season.  Oklahoma entered the January 1, 1951, game with a 31-game winning streak; the Sooners' last loss had come on September 25, 1948.  Kentucky was coached by Bear Bryant; Oklahoma was coached by Bud Wilkinson. The 1951 Sugar Bowl was the 17th Sugar Bowl matchup, pitting the Big Seven champion Oklahoma Sooners (ranked #1 in the Associated Press poll) against the Southeastern Conference champion Kentucky Wildcats (ranked #7).  Notable players for the two teams included Oklahoma's Billy Vessels and Kentucky's Charlie McClendon, Babe Parilli and Wilbur "Shorty" Jamerson.  82,000 fans attended the game. <SEP> The 1997 Tennessee Volunteers football team represented the University of Tennessee during the 1997 NCAA Division I-A football season.  Quarterback Peyton Manning had already completed his degree in three years, and had been projected to be the top overall pick in the 1997 NFL Draft, but returned to Tennessee for his senior year.  The Volunteers opened the season with victories against Texas Tech and UCLA, but for the third time in his career, Manning fell to Florida, 33–20.  The Vols won the rest of their regular season games, finishing 10–1, and advanced to the SEC Championship Game against Auburn.  Down 20–7, Manning led the Vols to a 30–29 victory.  Throwing for four touchdowns, he was named the game's MVP, but injured himself in the process.  The #3 Vols were matched up with #2 Nebraska in the Orange Bowl.  Had Tennessee won and top-ranked Michigan lost to Washington State in the Rose Bowl, the Vols would have been expected to win the national championship.  However, the Vols' defense could not stop Nebraska's rushing attack, giving up more than 400 yards on the ground in a 42–17 loss.  As a senior, Manning won numerous awards.  He was a consensus first-team All-American and won the Maxwell Award, the Davey O'Brien Award, the Johnny Unitas Award, and the Best College Football Player ESPY Award, among others.  However, he did not win the Heisman Trophy, finishing runner-up to Charles Woodson, a CB from Michigan, and the only defensive player ever to win the Heisman Trophy. <SEP> The 1951 Tennessee Volunteers football team represented the University of Tennessee in the 1951 season.  In his next to last season as head coach, Robert Neyland led the Vols to their second consecutive national title and the fourth during his tenure.  The 1951 title was also the first undisputed, at the time, national title in school history.  Maryland has since been retroactively credited with the 1951 national championship by several selectors, including analyst Jeff Sagarin, as they went undefeated that year and beat Tennessee in the Sugar Bowl.  At the time, the AP awarded the title before the bowl games were played.  1951 was also Neyland's ninth undefeated regular season in his career.  The 1950 Tennessee team had gone 11–1, winning its last nine games and capping the season off with a victory over Texas in the Cotton Bowl.  In 1951, The Vols put together a 10–0 regular season and were voted national champs by the AP Poll before the bowl season began, as was the convention at the time.  The game against Alabama on the Third Saturday in October that season was the first ever nationally televised game for both teams.  The Vols were a dominant team in the regular season, winning their first nine games by a combined score of 338 to 61 before thwarting a spirited effort by in-state rival Vanderbilt in the last game of the regular season, 35–27. <SEP> Billy Dale Vessels (March 22, 1931 – November 17, 2001) was a gridiron football player.  Vessels went on to play professional football with the National Football League's Baltimore Colts and the Western Interprovincial Football Union's Edmonton Eskimos.  He played college football at the University of Oklahoma and won the Heisman Trophy in 1952.
