Ingram favored to repeat as Heisman winner

Ingram favored to repeat Heisman

Alabama running back Mark Ingram is favored to become the second two-time Heisman winner after Ohio State’s Archie Griffin (1974-75). Here are the just-released odds at BroburySports.com.

Mark Ingram 7/2

Ingram rushed for 1,658 yards on 271 carries as a sophomore last year. The problem is backup Trent Richardson is a very good player and will take away some carries. The team will also throw the ball more with returning quarterback Greg McElroy.

Terrelle Pryor 5/1

Pryor is another player who will only be a junior this year. The Ohio State signal caller had a breakout Rose Bowl against Oregon (266 passing yards). He’s already a great runner, so if his passing skills keep improving, watch out!

Ryan Mallett 12/1

This Arkansas signal caller is the prototype Heisman candidate at 6-foot-7 with a rocket arm. The Michigan transfer is playing his second year with the Razorbacks and he needs to have better games against the SEC elite like Alabama.

Jake Locker 12/1
The Washington quarterback surprised everyone by spurning the NFL. The Heisman voters may take that into consideration. Coach Steve Sarkisian will certainly give him every opportunity to put up big numbers. He’s undervalued at these odds.

John Clay 12/1

The Wisconsin running back is trying to follow in the footsteps of Ron Dayne, who won the award in 1999. Clay is taller than Dayne, but he’s just as much of a bruiser. He ran for 1,517 yards on 291 carries, but has a lot of talented backs behind him who could steal carries.
Kellen Moore 15/1

The Boise State quarterback threw for over 3,500 yards last year. More remarkably, he had 39 touchdowns versus three interceptions. The Broncos have a great chance to make the national title game if they get by non-conference Virginia Tech. Moore will put up big stats again and is very undervalued at these odds.

Other Heisman Favorties

Case Keenum, Houston QB (12/1)
Dion Lewis Pittsburgh RB (12/1)
Evan Royster, Penn State RB (12/1)
Jacory Harris, Miami QB (12/1)
Noel Devine, West Virginia RB (12/1)
Andrew Luck, Stanford QB (15/1)
Christian Ponder, Florida State QB (15/1)
DeMarco Murray, Oklahoma RB (15/1)
Matt Barkley, USC QB (18/1)

i kinda liek demarco murray. he has a young QB and a lot of rebuilding defenses in the big 12 south. i would take him as my long shot.

i cant see ingram repeating, mainly because richardson is going to get more touches, hes too good. A lot of options in the Bama offense. Its going to be harder to exceed last years numbers.

Of people on that list, I would think it comes down to Kellen Moore and Terrele Pryor personally

totally disagree with you on Murray BFD......the guy just can't stay healthy

because of the schedule Ohio State is facing and the potential to go to the ship, I think Pryor has some value

If last year is any indication, you may aws well take a shot with a player at good odds. Look what happened to the "Three Amigo's". Bradford was injured, McCoy could not beat a good defense, and Tebow was nowheres near what was expected out of him. I agree that Moore is a great play for the value, especially with Ingram sharing a lot of time with Trent Richardson, who may be almost as good as Ingram is. Mallett and Locker have injury issues, and more importantly, do not play on teams that have much of a chance of winning their respective conferences.

he wasnt an offensive juggernaut in that game by any means, in fact he was fairly lucky the nebraska offense was so inept or they wouldve lost.

mccoy was an amazing qb at texas but he didnt have a career year last year by any means.... jmo
