As a junior at Alabama, Lacy rushed for 1,322 yards on 204 carries and scored 17 touchdowns. He may not have been viewed as the dominant, one-person rushing attack that his predecessors Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson, but consider this:
In 2009, when he won the Heisman, Ingram rushed for 1,658 yards, 17 touchdowns, and had a 6.1 YPC average. He also caught 32 passes with another three touchdowns.
