Trophy winner, coach tell WND secret to running back's success Posted: December 13, 2009 ~ 8:12 pm Eastern By Stewart Stogel © 2009 WorldNetDaily NEW YORK – For a brief moment this weekend, the sporting world took a time out from its constant coverage of Tiger Woods' ever expanding scandal to report on a traditional "feel good" story, the Heisman Trophy. Just hours after Woods announced his "indefinite suspension" from professional golf, the 75th Heisman Trophy was awarded to Alabama running back Mark Ingram in the closest voting in the award's history. The contrast and the connection between the two was compelling. Woods, who has admitted to numerous incidents of infidelity, insisted that his immediate goal during his golfing hiatus is to concentrate on rebuilding his ties with his family. Family ties was a theme repeatedly expressed at the Heisman award ceremony last night. Ingram, who rose to be named college football's No. 1 player for 2009, insisted that his family ties were the main factor for his meteoric season, a campaign that will see his Alabama Crimson Tide play Texas for the national championship in Pasadena, Calif., on Jan. 7. "First and foremost, I would like to thank God. I'm so blessed, and without him, I wouldn't have been able to accomplish this," Ingram said in his acceptance speech. "I'd like to thank my family, my mother and my grandparents ... my father, who has been a great influence on my life and I love him to death, my aunts and uncles, my sisters … and I'd like to thank my teammates." Ingram's acceptance speech can be seen below: READ FULL STORY >
