The Heisman

Sophomore running back Mark Ingram of The University of Alabama won the Heisman Memorial Trophy at the Nokia Theatre in Manhattan last Saturday night. Ingram won over Toby Gerhart of Stanford in the closest voting total ever for the prestigious award.

Although I find him deserving and do not quarrel with him winning, Ingram would have been fourth on my ballot behind DT Ndamukong Suh of Nebraska, running back Gerhart and Texas quarterback Colt McCoy, who I would have voted first in 2008.

Congratulations to Ingram and The University of Alabama, who although being one of the most storied college football traditional powers, has never brought home the award. Roll Tide!
