even though we're really not disagreeing. AD was clamped down and wanting to run with it because Lee kept it in there too long. He thought Lee was trying to hand it off. Of course it's not ALL Lee's fault. The RB is at fault as well. It's really just a lack of communication. But the general rule is that it's the QB's responsibility. This is why the fumbles are credited to Lee and not AD. Didn't Mullen acknowledge those fumbles were Lee's fault, as well?
And yes, I know it's a fake and not a handoff. My mistake. Fixed it for ya.

The Heisman is as much a team award as it is an individual award. They try to find the best player from one of the top teams in the country. Ricky Williams I believe was the last player to win the Heisman from a team that had more than 2 regular season losses.
other teams. But, our OL is a big reason for some of Dixon's success. Saturday night, they were opening big holes damn near every down. And this was not the first time this year that happened. Maybe they aren't as good as some of the teams you are talking about. But, they have had a few games where I don't know what else they could have done to make the running game better.
The Heisman is a bogus award if you ask me. It's lost its meaning over the years, and now it's a bastardized version of what it used to be.
I said all along that for Snead to have a shot, we'd have to go 11-1 or 12-0 this year, and he'd get consideration. Stats don't mean nearly as much as team record. That's just the way it works. Eli put up better numbers as a sophomore at Ole Miss than he did as a senior, but he finished 3rd in 2003 because we went 9-3 in the regular season. Had we gone 11-1 or 12-0, and he had the same exact numbers, he may have won the thing.
On occasion, you have a player that is just so outstanding either putting up ridiculous numbers or making highlight reel plays every week that can overcome team record, but for the most part, it's narrowed down to players on teams in the national title hunt or in the Top 10, and the most outstanding player from those teams is selected.
Larry Fitzgerald is an example of a player that made enough highlight reel plays to overcome an average team record, and he finished 2nd largely because of his team's record. Fitzgerald should've won the Heisman in 2003 over Jason White, but he didn't because his team didn't win enough.

I figured he was being sarcastic, but I do agree with him that Ingram really has no reason to be in the hunt. He's good, but not that impressive. The only reason he's in the mix is because his team is undefeated and no one is standing out right now.
