Ok so once again the Heisman Trophy Winner may have shocked a few people. Last years award went to Oklahoma's QB Sam Bradford who didnt even has the most 1st place votes, that went to Florida's QB Tim Tebow.
I have a slight problem with the Heisman Winner. However, with that said Mark Ingram was well deserved of the award and an extraordinary player for the Crimson Tide this season. The thing that gets me though is that, now we are suppose to believe that he's the best player in College Football when he wasn't even the best player at his own position?!?! Toby Gerhart ranked 1st in every FBS ranking for a running back. Gerhart finished 1st overall in rushing attempts (311), rushing yards (1736), rushing touchdowns (26), and total points scored (160).
The Heisman is suppose to be given to the most outstanding College Football player in the nation. If the award goes to someone who wasn't even recognized as the best at his own position what does that say about the award as a whole. Theres a defensive player in Ndamukong Suh who is arguably the best player on defense yet alone the entire College Football players. His quickness, athleticism, and strength was on display on a national stage last week against Texas. He was able to get to Colt McCoy 4.5 times and almost beat the Longhorns with the pressure he put on Colt with the clock winding down.
Yes Ingram plays for the Alabama Crimson Tide and playing in the SEC along with playing for the Nat'l Championship next month but come on... to be the best player overall you at least have to be the best at your own position!!!
