The standard for RBs is 100 yard games, having 5 under is amazing/crimsons to still win the Heisman.

Pat Sullivan - lost to Bama, won Heisman
Bo Jackson - lost to Bama, won Heisman


Mark Ingram - beat Auburn, won Heisman

Oh, so the Heisman is based on performance against AU now, not on the fact that he was the best running back that season?

You're the worst poster on the board.

No, it is based on being consistently better than the others, 5 games under 100 doesn't meet that standard.

He's not winning the Heisman (because he doesn't get enough touches), but he's been criminally underrated by most people since he got to Bama. He's as talented as any back we've had.

It would be as big a joke of a Heisman as when Ingram won it when he had 5 games under 100 yards rushing.


Find me an AU running back with a better football career. I dare you

What? There's no room in this hell-hole for saying anything positive about Alabama or its players if you aren't a fan. See literally every other post in this thread from non-Bama fans.

Harris has improved so much this year after regressing last year some. Glad to see Alabama have a good stable again after a couple years where we ended up pretty thin at RB.

Just speaking of what I saw, wasn't as explosive to my eyes as early in his career. - and what he ultimately admits with his offseason goals.

There is nothing at all that happened in the 2015 to 2016 offseason that changed the complexion of the backfield in your minds? Not saying he was bad but there is a reason people are raving about his improvement this year.
