Mark Ingram has won Alabama’s first Heisman trophy. Most folks may not get what this means for Alabama fans. Yes, it is an individual award. Yes, Alabama prides itself on championships, not Heismans. But, look back at the abyss where Alabama found itself in the early parts of this decade. To make it back not just to prominence, but to relevance, has been a joy to behold. Nick Saban has seemingly outperformed his huge contract. Ingram seems to have a terrific head on his shoulders. He deserves this.
