Ingram Takes Home The Heisman

Last night Alabama Running Back, Mark Ingram, beat out Stanford standout, Toby Gerhart, by only 28 points, the closest margin of victory in Heisman history. Ingram is the third consecutive Sophomore to win the Heisman trophy. following Tim Tebow and Sam Bradford. Mark put together a very impressive year for the # Ranked Alabama Crimson Tide. He's rushed for 1,542 yards on 249 carries, giving him a 6.2 yard average per carry. Ingram was also very effective in the passing game which has starred a first-year starter at Quarterback in Greg McElroy. He averaged nearly 8.5 yards every time he touched the ball, and contributed to the Bama's perfect season by scoring 18 Touchdowns on the season. Although he is the newest member of the Heisman fraternal order, his sights are set on Colt McCoy and the Texas Longhorns. The Crimson Tide and the Longhorns will be dueling it out for the BCS National Championship on January 7, 2009 in Pasadena, CA.

Clausen and Tate declare

Both Jimmy Clausen and Golden Tate will forgo their Senior seasons to pursue the NFL. Both are predicted to go in the first round of April's draft. Tate could truly be a diamond in the rough come April. He is oddly similar to rookie standout Percy Harvin. Tate returns punts and kicks, runs the ball, and can catch the ball deep down the field. Being a former Running Back, Tate averages 11.7 yards every time he touches the ball. Averaging nearly 16 yards per reception and 7 yards per carry, Tate could prove to be a great offensive weapon at the next level. You could see Tate's stock drop if he doesn't run a great 40, but if he runs in the 4.4's watch for him to be picked up anywhere between the middle of round one to very early in round two.

Kiper is making similar moves???

This week Mel Kiper released his newest Big Board and has finally moved Jimmy Clausen up to #4 and moved Carlos Dunlap down due to his recent DUI charge. Clausen has been a favorite of mine all year and I still see him being the #1 overall selection to either the Rams or Browns. Dunlap's recent fall has him projecting in the middle of the first round, i have him going to the New York Jets
