Major blow for his repeat as a Heisman winner, and of course for Alabama major blow. I live in San Jose, college football here is dead, but am watching them a glance, hope this year proves well for them. But even with the injury to Ingram Alabama should not have a problem.
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5515780Alabama will be without junior running back Mark Ingram for Saturday's opener against visiting San Jose State, and probably longer, after the Heisman Trophy winner underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee Tuesday morning.
Ingram suffered the injury late in Monday's practice, and Alabama coach Nick Saban said it was a "situation where everyone thought it would be better to take care of now, so he would not have any issues with it later in the season."
Although Alabama officials are ruling Ingram out only for the first game at this point, it's unlikely he would be able to get back in time for the Crimson Tide's second game, against No. 19 Penn State on Sept. 11 in Tuscaloosa. Saban said Ingram would be managed on a week-to-week basis after Saturday.
