Mark Ingram 2009 Heisman Trophy Winner

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

The winner of the 2009 Heisman Trophy is   Alabama’s Mark Ingram!

History

In 1935, the Downtown Athletic Club established the DAC Trophy, to be awarded to the best football player from a college east of the Mississippi River.

John W. Heisman, who had become the club’s athletic director after a long, successful career as a college coach, died on Oct. 3, 1936. The award was then renamed the Heisman Memorial Trophy and has since been given to the nation’s outstanding college player.  More Heisman information here

2008 Heisman Recap

With the lion’s share of voting completed in early December, the list came down to the top three: Tim Tebow, Colt McCoy and Sam Bradford who were all selected as finalists for college football’s highest honor.

However, it was Sam Bradford who made the strongest case among voters, following an outstanding season which saw the Oklahoma quarterback score the most touchdowns (48) and the third-most passing yards (4464) of any quarterback nationwide.

Who do you think will win?
