Former Tide running back co-signs Tua Tagovailoa’s Heisman campaign

Mark Ingram is all in.

The first-ever Heisman Memorial Trophy winner for the University of Alabama sees the same things that all Crimson Tide fans see in Tua Tagovailoa: a remarkable athlete on the field at quarterback and an ever better individual in the community.

During the sophomore’s record-setting Iron Bowl performance at Bryant-Denny Stadium, the 2009 Heisman winner and first-round pick of the 2011 NFL Draft co-signed Tagovailoa’s Heisman campaign with his post on Twitter.

After torching Auburn for 324 passing yards and six total touchdowns – one rushing – Tagovailoa delivered the Tide its eighth game of the season in which it has scored 50 points or more as it defeated the Tigers, 52-21 to improve to 12-0.
