🏈 Mark Ingram vs. Ben Tate; who ya got?

Props to Tate for being a solid back, but that article is just silly. It overstepped the realm of reasonable when it floated the idea that a Heisman Trophy candidate might be topped by a guy not known outside the SEC.

Scarbinsky also forgot to mention that Tate plays for a team with three losses!
 
Without reading the article (considering the author).

Tate is an excellent back. Period. That said...

Ingram averages 125.5 ypg on 19.1 cpg with 8 TDs
Tate = 118.6 ypg on 21.5 cpg with 6 TDs

Ingram 186 yards receiving with 3 TDs
Tate = 67 yards 0 TDs.
 
Tate is good but if you look at his numbers, you'll see that he has had around 30+ more carries than Mark. Saturday was a good example of Tate's season. He finished with 24 carries and 144 yards. One run accounted for 53 yards. Without that run and several others that he has had along the way, he hasn't cracked the 800 yard mark. Ole Piss took terrible pursuit angles on the long run. Meanwhile, Mr. Ingram drives along getting 7-8 yards a whack with the occasional 20+ yard run. Mark is the BEAST in the SEC.
