I was Suprise that Standford RB was that high

DrStale · 12-12-09, 11:52 PM

A damn close #2 at that.

Sam Odom · 12-12-09, 11:53 PM

Brent Musburger was sucking this kid's pecker , Brent pulled every string he had and called in every chit

Chi_archie · 12-13-09, 12:03 AM

he got alot of the west coast vote

poker_dummy101 · 12-13-09, 12:04 AM

i thought he would be 3.. surprising to me too

BobHarvey · 12-13-09, 12:07 AM

I was hoping Gerhart would win. He's a local kid from the next city over. That would have been very cool.

datek23 · 12-13-09, 12:18 AM

if he did win it would have been a heisman shocker

Jim Harbaugh was a extremely popular in college at Michigan and pro football. Brent Musburger used to rave about Harbaugh when he was in Michigan. Since Brent Musburger used to rave about Haraugh, and Brent Musburger having lots of pull with the media and Musburger being very well liked...Harbaugh and Musburger almost pulled it off with a descent player putting up numbers like this Standford RB and almost pull off a Heisman shocker!

I guess you didnt catch the stats the last 4 games this season against the VAUNTED USC defense and OREGON and CAL and Notre Dame and last year the last 3 games.

moses millsap · 12-13-09, 03:17 AM

much more deserving that ingram, its a joke he didnt win

theplagy · 12-13-09, 03:29 AM

I thought Suh is legit enough to win as well.

btw who was the last defensive guy who won Heisman, was it Woodson?

jayroy25 · 12-13-09, 03:32 AM

i was shokd also but ingram was no surprise

shady610 · 12-13-09, 04:53 AM

Huh?

You think Brent Musberger was the reason this kid was number 2 in voting?

Oyyy.

daggerkobe · 12-13-09, 08:45 AM

Why was it surprising?

He only led the nation in rushing yards and TDs.

But just as I had predicted, Ingram sealed it with his performance vs the Gaytors.

jjgold · 12-13-09, 09:41 AM

He had some very good games against good teams late in year

Kid should of won it

BigdaddyQH · 12-13-09, 10:00 AM

First of all, learn the name of the team. It is Stanford, not StanDford. Nothing like starting a post looking like you have no clue. Next, Gerhart was the pick for 2nd place amongst just about everyone. People knew it would be close. There is absolutely no suprise in the results here.

He got the recognition he deserved, But to say he is a better back than Ingram is insane.....Gerhart played in a weaker defensive conference, Ingram rarely played in the 4th quarter. Gerhart played every snap he could. Ingram got the bulk of his yards in the defensively superior SEC.

Nobody saw Gerhart play because he wasn't in a big time prime time game all year, and he plays on the west coast. That and the fact that Stanford has 4 losses to some really average team really hurt his chances.

IMO, they still got the right guy in Ingram. Ingram in the Pac-10 would be an 1800 yard back...

People who question speeling errors dont really have a point in posting. Lay off the minute details and focus on the topic. Have you ever made a error in spelling?

That is a irresponsible comment and cannot be proven....That makes no sense and is wrong.

cankid · 12-14-09, 02:09 AM

just about took it real close........he was gaining steam as it got closer

eidolon · 12-14-09, 02:12 AM

the guy ran the ball in 26 times. Never had a bad game. Ran over USC/Cal/Oregon. He was never stopped. So really you can't compare the 2 running backs.

But what you can compare is who makes more of a difference for the team. Without Ingram, they have lost 1 game; without Gerhart, Standford would've lost 3 or 4 more games. He was the team.

iceminers26 · 12-14-09, 03:21 AM

he must have been that high from hanging out with you, based on your grammar

just playing dude, he is a solid back and deserves it.

BigdaddyQH · 12-14-09, 10:46 AM

As everyone will see on the Sun Bowl, Gerhart was very successful because his QB, Luck, was able to sustain a good enough passing game to open the defenses up for Gerhart. Without Luck, let's see what kind of game Gerhart has in the Sun Bowl against OU's defense. I like the kid, but 3rd or 4th round draft picks in the NFL do not win a lot of Heisman's. Suh was the best player by far in New York on Saturday, but you have to be a superstar if you play defense and want to win the Heisman.

A fair speculation would be , if Saban wanted , Ingram would have had 2k+ rushing yds

BigdaddyQH · 12-14-09, 11:31 AM

Speculation is for the losers. I think that Ingram won the award because Alabama best Florida, and Ingram had a good day. It is really that simple. Had Stanford gone undefeated, Gerhart would be a runaway winner. I am just glad to see the two QB'sw finishing so far back in the pack. Neither one of them even desered to be in New York, but ESPN had to save face.
