In Mark Ingram's 2009 Heisman year

Ingram had 16 rushes for 30 yards against Auburn. He also had 3 games under 60 yards and 5 games under 100 yards. If Fournette is so bad with 1 game under 150 yards, and only one disaster game, what was so special about Ingram?
50 yards against Arky and 56 yards against Florida international.
Gumps need to start looking at home instead of criticizing others.

Ingram didn't deserve the Heisman.

In all of those instances they ran for more than 1.6 ypc.

So you're saying the runningback with the best stats didn't win the hei2man that year?

Ingram was lucky because he got to play in the SEC Championship game. He had a huge game against Florida and I think that really helped. Fournette needs a big game in the championship game as well...

I totally agree with you. 1 game does not define his season. The kid is amazing and deserves the heisman.

And people said Louisianians don't like Mark Ingram, pretty clear they love using him to defend Leonard Fournette.

Y'all talked an enormous amount of shite leading up to the game and are now whining because it's getting thrown back at you. Dwi.

Ingram didn't deserve the Heisman in a down year for the Heisman in general. Your comparison is awful. According to the Heisman narrative that has been pretty clearly established by now Booger didn't meet the criteria of playing big in your biggest game of the season. Ingram did that.

and if that had been the final big game he played in, he wouldn't have won the heisman. but the game of the year was the next week and he balled the frick out to win the sec title with the whole nation watching.
fournette doesn't have an opportunity like that left on the schedule. this was his shot at a heisman moment and he blew it.
also, bama beat auburn that day.

0 losses for Ingram that year... important stat. Disappearing during a loss is bad m'kay.

Ingram won the Heisman in the SEC Championship by running on the 2nd best defense in the country.
Ingram performed in the biggest games, Fournette has not. Fournette hasn't proven anything this year other than he's been run to death by his coaches against awful defenses to cover up LSU's shitey qb play.

Another year where a white Stanford RB was robbed.

Fournette and the LSU offense failed on their biggest stage.
Ingrams game against Auburn was not Alabama's biggest game. IIRC that 09 game was a mid afternoon Friday after Thanksgiving game. Auburn made the game very close, but going in to it, it wasn't regarded as a big game.
If LSU finds their way back to the SECCG and Fournette carries the team on its back, then he will probably win it. Otherwise, no.

I don't care who wins the Heisman but it sure is fun watching L5U fans squirm.

All meanwhile, Ingram had his best games against top opponents that year, on national TV.
#10 Virginia Tech- 150 rushing yards
@ #20 Mississippi- 172 rushing yards
vs South Carolina- 246 rushing yards when Alabama's offense was completely flat throughout the mid-season.
vs #17 LSU- 144 rushing yards
vs #1 Florida- 113 rushing yards against a defense that was highly ranked.

After that game, one of my Auburn friends changed his facebook picture to one of Ingram getting stuffed in that game with a caption about how it was great to be an Auburn Tiger because they had killed Ingram's Heisman chances. So, there's at least something sadder than this thread, so don't feel too bad.

1. Alabama WON the game he struggled in
2. He followed that game up with a great performance against #1 undefeated Florida in the SEC Championship in arguably the biggest game of the year that year.

Gosh, that seems so long ago.

LSU fans need to be worried about the team and not whining about an individual award. If this team continues to lose, LF7 will be an after thought for this season. If they win out he will be in the discussion. Either way he will come back next year as a front runner.
