Congratulations to Alabama Crimson Tide running back Mark Ingram, who is the 75th recipient of the Heisman Trophy as awarded Saturday night in New York City. Ingram edged Stanford running back by just 28 points, making his victory the closest in the 75 year history of the award.
Ingram finished his season with a strong game in the SEC Championship Game, which was likely just enough to secure the trophy for the sophomore running back.
Ingram is also the third straight sophomore to win the award, following quarterbacks Tim Tebow and Sam Bradford.
Quarterback Colt McCoy finished third, followed by Nebraska defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh. Tebow finished fifth.
Ingram’s next step will be the National Title game with his team, where he will meet McCoy in Pasadena for the BCS national title on January 7th.
Ingram is also Alabama’s first-ever Heisman award winner.

Heismans a joke. ESPN set this up by downgrading Gerhart wherever possible. Not to mention west heisman region with only 145 voters when it should get 185 if the split were equitable...Scam...ripoff...this sucks. Give Gerhart some ESPN time and he wins easy...that never happened ...this summarizes why other West Coast players ....will only rarely win...Bullcrap just like the BCS...too bad Toby your the best.
