After Alabama's Mark Ingram missed the first two games of the season due to a knee surgery, and now splitting carries with Trent Richardson, another outstanding running back, many believed that Ingram wouldn't be in this year's Heisman contention.
But since he returned against Duke, Ingram has scored twice in each of the three games he appeared in. He has rushed for 355 yards on 45 attempts, scoring six touchdowns.However, Alabama was shockingly upset by South Carolina, who held Ingram to 41 yards on 11 carries.
Ingram hopes to bounce back this week against Ole Miss, at home.
