Bama's qb had his worst game and the entire stadium knew Ingram was getting the ball. They finally took Mcelroy out and let Ingram get the direct snap for the clinching drive. Should be in the Heisman race.

Notes: Is Ingram back in Heisman forefront?

Alabama's sophomore run­ning back followed up a 16-carry, 30-yard performance against Auburn with 189 all-pur­pose yards and three touch­downs Saturday in a 32-13 vic­tory over top-ranked Florida, which had the nation's top­ranked defense. Is that enough to surpass Texas quarterback Colt McCoy, who struggled Saturday night in the Big 12 Championship Game against Nebraska?
Is that enough to surpass Stanford running back Toby Gerhart, whose season ended last week? He finished with 1,736 yards rushing and 26 TDs.
Ingram has 1,542 yards and 18 TDs. He broke Bobby Hum­phrey's single-season school re­cord of 1,471 yards set in 1986.
Heisman ballots are due on Monday. Ingram will find out then if he is invited to New York as a finalist for Saturday's award presentation.
"I would feel real good to rep­resent our school with this rich tradition we have," he said.
Tide has some history in the Rose Bowl
Alabama's next game will be in the Rose Bowl stadium, where it will play on Jan. 7 for the na­tional championship.The Tide hasn't played in that Pasadena, Calif., stadium since its season­opener on Sept. 2, 2000, when it lost to UCLA 35-24.
It made three appearances in the Rose Bowl game early in its history. It defeated Washington 20-19 on Jan. 1 1926 to cap its first national championship. It tied Stanford 7-7 on Jan. 1, 1927. It defeated Washington State 24-0 on Jan. 1, 1931 to cap an­other national championship.
"Rose Bowl?" Alabama run­ning back Mark Ingram said. "I think of USC and Reggie Bush and Vince Young holding the rose in his mouth after they won."
He was referring to the quar­terback who led Texas to a 41-38 victory over USC for the 2005 na­tional championship.
"I'm going to have the oppor­tunity to play on that stage," In­gram said. "It hasn't hit me. It's kind of overwhelming. We've worked so hard. We deserve it. We still want to accomplish big­ger things."
