Take a look at how many times they touched the ball in their respective yrs.
Bo 282 touches 1859 yds 17 TD's 6.8 yds per play
Ingram 303 touches 1992 yds 20 TD's 6.6 yds per play
Not to mention.. Bo led Auburn to 4 losses against a much weaker schedule than Ingram had to go against, who led Bama to a perfect season.
Different eras. The SEC did not throw the ball as much back in 1985, so Bo definitely wasn't going to receive the ball like Ingram did.
When you compare them as RUNNING backs, there *is* no comparison.
Bo - 1786 yds, 17 TDs in 12 games
Ingram - 1658 yds, 17 TDs in 14 games
And, considering the evidence you posted above, you have proven definitively that the 2009 Heisman Trophy Award winner should have been... Toby Gerhart.
Ingram - 303 touches, 1992 yds, 20 TD's
Gerhart - 354 touches, 2028 yds, 28 TD's
I repeat... Ingram wasn't the best RB in the country, much less the best player.
Ingram wasn't the best player on the 2009 bama team.

The Heisman isn't for best RB, it's for best player. Clearly, Ingram was as good as Bo in producing the numbers, moreso even, and in scoring.
Also, you realize Bo did not lead the nation in rushing they yr he won it, right?

Bo in 85 - 278 rushes
Ingram in 09 - 271 rushes
Same amount of TD's. And as you said, Auburn was a pure running team, with outstanding run blocking and didn't have to learn to pass block much, right?

oh, and 
bringin in Gerhart, because you now realize Ingram and Bo's Heisman yrs are nearly identical.
