Title: Alabama's Trent Richardson making strong case for Heisman Trophy Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on October 16, 2011, 11:18:31 AM http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/10/alabamas_trent_richardson_maki.html
Quote (http://media.al.com/sports_impact/photo/10150966-large.jpg) His 76-yard highlight-reel touchdown run will be replayed on SportsCenter again and again, reminding Heisman voters of what SEC defenders and coaches already know. "No one has been able to tackle him consistently this year," Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt said. "He should be a Heisman Trophy candidate." Richardson broke two attempted tackles at the line on that run, then juked Senquez Golson out of his shoes with an ankle-breaking, stop-start move near the goal line to skip into the end zone. "I saw ol' boy had the corner," Richardson said. "They cut me off at the corner, so I had to try to put a move on him, try to do something to get into the end zone." Richardson has now run for more than 100 yards in six straight games. His season totals of 912 yards and 15 touchdowns are slightly better than the 905 yards and eight scores Mark Ingram posted through seven games of his Heisman-winning 2009 season. |
