Mott the Hoople
Sweet Jane
I know who my favorite is. He was the best running back in the country last year and ya'll down south probably never heard of him. Had he not injured his anke he may well have rushed for over 2000 yard.
John Clay is my front runner to win the Heisman. I haven't seen a running back as good as him in college since Reggie Bush.
My dark hourse is Brandon Seine. If he gets the ball consistently 20 carries a game he'll put up some big numbers if he stays healthy. That's a big if. Seine's biggest advantage is he size 6"1" and 215 lb and he's the fastest RB in NCAA Div 1. He's been clocked doing a 4.1 40!! Shades of OJ Simpson.
I don't think Ingraham will repeat. He was recipient of some very special circumstances last year. Let's be honest. Gerhartd got screwed (no dis to Ingraham) and Ingraham is the only running back to run for less then 1700 hard to win the Heisman since they started playing more then 10 games a season. (That goes back to Archie Griffen in 75). If Stanford had won 1 more game then Gerhardt would have won the Heisman. Also Suh sucked a lot of votes away from Colt McCoy who probably would have won had not Suh won so many votes. If Richardson is as good as people say, then Ingraham will probably see less carries and if Bama loses a SEC game he's probably out of the hunt. Long and the short of it, history won't repeat. If Ingraham gets less then 1700 yards this year he simply won't repeat. That's what is really scary about Clay. He played as well as Ingraham with a bum ankle as Ingraham did healthy (again, no dis meant to Ingraham, Clay is that good).
My other Dark Horse is Deion Lewis at Pitt. That kid is something special. I'd sure like to see it go his way, he may not be the best RB in college ball (though certainly one of the best) but he's certainly the most entertaining to watch.
