Well if he breaks a couple of long runs next weekend he'll have it. 175 is very obtainable, quite frankly it would be shocking if he didn't get that in these last two regular season games, especially with TN-Chattanooga and a weak Auburn run defense.
 
what caused his helmet to come off when he got the cut over the eye? to me it almost looked like he was face masked then hit on the side of the head with a face mask.
anyway i am glad he was not seriously injured and played another great game.
 
Here's the crappy thing about Ingram's chances for the Heisman...he really didn't start getting mentioned for the Heisman until midseason. Two games that he really could have padded his stats were against North Texas and Florida International. He only ran a total of 18 times in those 2 games.

Not that it's a HUGE deal or anything...I know everyone, including myself, would rather have a NC than a Heisman. But it sure would be nice if we could get both...and if we knew earlier what kind of season Mark Ingram was going to have he could have really separated himself early on.

The thing I love most about this kid is that after a big run he just walks back to the huddle, and doesn't waste a lot of energy celebrating. Very mature kid that seems to be level headed and very humble. Great image of Alabama football...and we seem to have another RB behind him that looks to be just as good and carries a similar attitude.

I agree 100% i think your right. I have a hard time believing hes really got a shot at winning it.
 
I would think that once time for voting comes, the field will be necked down to no more than 5 with realistic chances of winning. At this point a more close look at each candidate's body of work can/will take place. This works in Ingram's favor.

First, this closer look is where/when his YAC (Yards After Contact) numbers will be aired. Truely, this is where he most seperates himself from the rest of the players in college football.

Second, this is where the "What he means to his team" element comes into play. Considering that this Bama team started the season with question marks in the form of "unproven Offensive Line and Quarterback", he will be given much credit for all that he has done considering these issues, playing in the SEC, and carrying his team to National Championship contender status. Neither Tebow nor McCoy have added that to their resume.

Third, whereas Tebow will have the "All-Time SEC rushing TD record" to his resume, he will still be seen as a Senior who has slipped statistically. Ingram will be a Sophmore who bested every Running Back in Alabama history, while improving.

Fourth, should Bama beat Florida the head-to-head victory would be something that McCoy can not answer.

Much is in Mark's favor, but there is still a long way to go.
