[Husker] McCoy leadership

[Aaron Wolfson]

I don't personally think the Heisman should have anything to do with who a
guy's backup is. It's for the best player, period. I actually thought
Ingram's performance was a point in his favor regarding that. I saw a
sturdy, bruising back with breakaway speed who can also cut on a dime, which
is what I saw from him all year against very good defenses. The only other
guy with that consistency was Suh.

I'm not saying Ingram was the best player, but I disagree that he didn't
deserve the Heisman.
