My vote would go Ingram or McCoy - right now Ingram because I think McCoy has had more unspectacular games
Because Gerhart was the nation's leading rusher and leading touchdown guy, and because he did this in Stanford's biggest games this year:
Oregon: 38 carries, 223 yards, 3TDs
USC: 29, 178, 3
Cal: 20, 136, 4 (plus 29 rec. yards)
Notre Dame: 29, 205, 3 (plus 33 rec. yards)
Arizona: 28, 123, 2 (plus 18 rec. yards)
He also had a TD pass in one of those games (I think ND).
He struggled in just 2 games - at Oregon State (still put up 2 TDs, though), and at Wake.
If your criteria is "more unspectacular games," both McCoy and Ingram had more than Gerhart.
