Mark Ingram became Alabama's first Heisman Trophy winner Saturday night, Dec. 12, snagging one of sport's most coveted pieces of hardware — the first for the school's storied football program. Ingram, who hails from Flint, Mich., claimed the 75th prize in a tightly contested race, edging out Stanford running back Toby Gerhart, Nebraska defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh and quarterbacks Tim Tebow of Florida — the 2007 Heisman winner — and Colt McCoy of Texas. Here's a look at TIME's top 10 Heisman winners.
Hornung, the blond Notre Dame quarterback known as “The Golden Boy,” won the Heisman despite his team’s dreadful 2-8 record. Known for both his passing and running skills, Hornung is still the only Heisman winner from a losing team. In the pros, he was a Hall of Fame halfback for Vince Lombardi’s Green Bay Packer dynasty. — Sean Gregory
