However, with the ruling in ...

Posted by Trent Calvert on August 31 2010 Add Comments
The Alabama Crimson Tide's Heisman-winning tailback Mark Ingram went down with a knee injury Monday.  Ingram is out indefinitely and certainly won't play in 'Bama's season opener against San Jose State.

Fortunately, 'Bama has a loaded backfield, with touted sophomore Trent Richardson now leading the way. Behind ...
