Alabama Essentially has 4 RB's that get the ball, I want to know which one you think is best.  Vote for you favorite on the poll and comment on your five in order.  My order is . . .

#1 Mark Ingram- This extremely talented sophomore had 297 yards in 44 carries (6.8 average) in 3 games, which is very good for the fact that he "shares" with 4 other backs.  He has 3 TD's, average of one per game, but his longest is 39 yards.  He had a great performance last year and he can only get better from here. 

#2 Roy Upchurch- He may not be considered second, but he has proved himself this year with 107 yards in only 11 carries.  9.7 yards per carry is extremely well, and it has gotten him one touchdown.  That is less than all of the others, but the 9.7 average shows his abilities.

#3 Terry Grant- This one was very close.  He has 27 carries with 150 yards, which averages with 5.6 ypc.  This is not necessarily exceptional, but pretty good.  He has not gotten as many yards as he may like, but I think the talent is there with 3 touchdowns.  He is a great 3rd spot back.

#4 Trent Richardson- 215 yards in 29 touches and 3 touchdowns are great stats also, but the touchdown-yards ratio is not very well, which means he normally just gets the ball around midfield.  He is very effevtive in this spot, but has mainly gotten the ball with open-fielded plays.

Now show me who you got . . .
