Gerhart had better stats for 2 reasons: 1.) He was the only back Stanford actually used where Bama had a plethora to choose from and 2.) He plays in the Pac 10!

I will say this 1 last time, for some reason people believe SEC is best conference at everything.

Pac-10 had better rushing defenses
They also had more running backs with 1000 or more yards, more running backs with 750-1000+ yards, and they rushed just as much as SEC for the most part. I believe the difference was about 5 rushes a game when you compare the 2 conference. We had this debate when Heisman was around.
Yes Ingram is a great back and he was just as deserving as Gerhart, but Gerhart had less to work with.
