Seems like he's always hyperventilating in his interviews.
He does, he just seems very humble and nervous about all the attention....which is refreshing really. I like confidence too, but it's refreshing to see a kid truly thankful and honestly not expecting to be the center of attention. He seems like a kid that really understands the gift he's been given, I like that.
Yeah, I agree with you there. I get a little tired of the choreographed interviews.
Just curious. If Ingram was in fact the "most outstanding player" in the country, why didn't he win the highest award for his position? The Doak Walker award goes to the best running back in the country.
Every year since 1990, the year the first Doak Walker award was handed out, if it was a running back who won the Heisman, they won the Doak Walker award too. Regardless of whether you think the winner should have been Suh or Gerhart, the award most certainly should not have gone to Ingram, he wasn't even the best at his own position.
Yeah, I thought that was a little odd too. Unless they're trying to be PC and let everybody win something . Same thing with the Maxwell award (Player Of The Year) that McCoy won. Shouldn't that have gone hand in hand with the Heisman as well?

Tebow won the Maxwell last year, but no Heisman. I would honestly rather win the Maxwell. The problem with the heisman, and it goes for both Met and your question, is that is has no clear cut criteria. It only says college's most oustanding player. That is it. It doesn't even say the most outstanding college player if the year. With that definition, I would argue Tebow should have won because I don't think anyone can argue that for a career he is the most outstanding college player out of the guys listed. (I am not syaing he should have won, so please do not go crazy) The doak and maxwell have criteria for the voters that vote on it. The heisman is a poll of writers and former winners about popularity.
Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh rushed past the guys who play the glamour positions and proved you don't have to score touchdowns or toss passes to be the player of the year.
Thanks in large part by a dominant performance against Texas in the Big 12 title game, Suh became the first ever player from the defensive side of the ball voted The Associated Press College Football Player of the Year on Tuesday.
Suh added the honor to a list that includes the Bronco Nagurski and Chuck Bednarik awards - both rewarded to the best overall defensive player - and the Lombardi, and Outland trophies which are awarded to the nation's best linemen.
Man if this guy somehow falls down the draft board to Cleveland I'll wet myself.
