Video: Mark Ingram’s Heisman Trophy acceptance speech
Alabama’s perfect season just got a little perfecter.
Tonight, sophomore running back Mark Ingram won the Heisman Trophy in New York in the closest vote ever. He represents the first Crimson Tide player ever to win college football’s highest individual honor in its 75-year history. Ingram, a native of Flint, Mich., broke the school record for single-season rushing yards with 1,542 total.
The runner-ups were, in order, Stanford’s Toby Gerhart, Texas’ Colt McCoy, Nebraska’s Ndamukong Suh and Florida’s Tim Tebow, who won in 2007.
No. 1 Alabama defeated Florida in last week’s SEC Championship match and faces McCoy and No. 2 Texas on Jan. 7 in the BCS National Championship Game.
