Unless you have been living under a rock, which I have for the past few weeks, you would know that Mark Ingram, Jr. has been awarded the 2009 Heisman Trophy award. Mark Ingram is the running back for the University of Alabama Crimson Tide and is the son of NFL wide receiver Mark Ingram, Sr. Mark Ingram winning the Heisman Trophy is a huge deal seeing that he is only the THIRD sophomore in history to win it.
Mark Ingram also is the fifth player in history to win both the prodigious honor and a national championship after rushing for a school-record 1,658 yards. Mark Ingram had some tough competition from runner-up Toby Gerhart who was only 28 points behind him. This is the closest finish in the 75 year history of the Heisman trophy, the second closest being a difference of 45 points in 1985 when Bo Jackson be Chuck Long.
Great job Mark Ingram!
