Look at my stat below. He wasn't pedestrian at all. Averaged over 6 yards a carry and only had 2 poor games. One of which he got hurt during.
Watch the kid run. Fanatastic center of gravity/balance. Bounces off tacklers and runs hard
And the winner is......
- Thread starter cyinne
- Start date

If Suh is to win I think that he has to take the great lakes region if he does that who comes in 2nd will be very interesting as im not sure Gerhart will win another region.
I didn't say he didn't have talent - I just don't find him deserving this year. I actually like several RBs more than him talent wise - Lewis at Pitt, Gerhart and several others. Ingram has a much better shot at the NFL than Gerhart but Gerhart had the much better season in my eyes.
I would love to have a "pedestrian" running back like Ingram on our team.
Nothing can take away from what Suh and Gerhart did this year, but to belittle Ingram is just foolish.

I agree that he shouldn't win it. Suh should IMO. I wouldn't call him mediocre like some have in this thread.
And I think Ingram is 1,000X better than Lewis at Pitt. Lewis is shifty but is slow in the open field and doesn't breat near the tackles.
The other thing to consider is ingram is a sophmore and only Tebow has ever won the award at that age.
Convince me there aren't 5 other RBs would woundn't have put up similar numbers to Ingram in that offense and behind that line, or Ingram's back up for that matter. Is Ingram even the best player on his team?
Besides....
Heisman winner = 50% preseason hype + 25% playing for an undefeated team + 25% actual in-season performance

Should be between Gerhart or Suh definitely. Suh is probably my top choice, but Gerhart is that kind of running back that doesn't seem to get knocked over very easily. There are some out there that rely solely on their speed to distance themselves from defenders, but the more impressive ones go right at the defender and knock them clean over.
Most likely to win is McCoy or Ingram.
Who do I think should win...Suh over Gerhart.
If you took anyone of the finalists off their team, which team is least likely to have performed as well as it did? I say Suh is the most valuable to his team (and in no way, shape or form am I a kNU fan)
McCoy's NFL career will rival Gino Toretta, Andre Ware and David Klingler's.

Yeah, well he's also playing on a team with an offensive line full of 4 and 5 star recruits.
Put A-Rob on that team and I don't think his numbers would be all that different. There are probably 10 or 15 D1 RBs that would put up similar numbers this year.
I'm not saying he's not a great running back, just that he's not heisman great.
Then again, the Heisman is a pretty stupid award anyway. I wish they would change it to "most outstanding offensive skill position player on a really good team" award.
