Yeah... splitting time with other backs really hurt Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson.

In the seasons Richardson and Ingram made the trip to New York they made the majority of the carries. If the carries are split next year like they were this year there is slim to none chance Yeldon or any other back from Alabama are in New York. I see no reason to believe Yeldon will make the majority of the carries considering Fowler should be back. Then throw in Drake, Henry, and possibly Hart (if he ever plays again), and I just don't see any running back from Alabama up for the Heisman. Now if for some reason Yeldon's numbers line up with what Ingram and Richardson did in '09 and '11, then yeah he might be in that position, but until then I don't see it.
