TUSCALOOSA | Trent Richardson saw a certain leadership from Mark Ingram throughout the Heisman Trophy campaign of 2009, the season in which nothing could go wrong for the University of Alabama.
He saw it from him again in 2010, when a knee injury started Ingram's season began off script, a fumble helped end it off script, and too much went wrong in between for another round of trophy-raising.
Good times, bad times, Ingram had his share.
And with the role as the Crimson Tide's lead running back now squarely in Richardson's grasp, it's Ingram-like leadership that he intends to carry as much as a football.
"Mark's not here, so I have to take a bigger role," Richardson said. "I have a lot of big footsteps to fill."
