Again, this shit looks like it's really, really going to happen:
SI
1. Mark Ingram, Alabama, RB, Soph.
Last week: 11 rushes, 102 yards, two TDs in a 45-0 victory over Chattanooga
Season: 205 rushes, 1,399 yards, 12 TDs; 25 receptions, 225 yards
Heisman-o-meter: The Watch tried to follow its own advice from last week: With Alabama meeting FCS member Chattanooga, "be careful to not read too much into Ingram's numbers." That said, the 'Bama back made the most of his 20-plus minutes of work and added two long touchdown runs to his highlight reel. He broke two tackles and dragged two defenders on the first and went army style (left-right-left-right-left-right) on the second. A good outing Friday against an Auburn defense ranked 88th against the run will turn the SEC championship showdown against Florida into a high stakes Heisman game for Ingram.
ESPN
1. Mark Ingram, Alabama: Ingram has been consistently outstanding throughout the 2009 season. His numbers thus far match the profile -- 1,399 yards and 12 scores on 205 carries, and 225 yards and three scores on 25 catches. Plus, consider a couple of variables when it comes to Ingram's production. First, Ingram is carrying an offense that lacks quality quarterback play and has struggled at times along the offensive front. Second, he's getting it done against the highest level of defensive competition in the country.
Bottom line: For Ingram to take home the hardware, it will take a pair of big-time performances in Alabama's next two outings -- the Iron Bowl at Auburn and the SEC title game versus Florida.
