Which player will have the biggest impact on their team this season good or bad?

After watching the Bama- Va Tech game, I think Mark Ingram will carry Bama this season. Julio Jones will be in double coverage in every game. Bama's O-line will wear down defenses in the second half to give him more holes. However, Bama does have a stable of RBs to take carries away from Ingram.

I'm not a Bama fan but to me I think Upchurch is their best back, but his whole career there has been beset by injuries. If the guy could stay completely 100% for a season Glenn Coffee wouldn't have seen much time last year and Ingram wouldn't have seen any.

I think the player though that will mean the most to his respective team though will be Jevan Snead. Ole Miss will go as far as he goes. If he is to suffer any kind of injury they are going to be road kill. I don't think there is another team whose fortunes reside more heavily on one players shoulders than Snead.

I think Ingram had a coming out game vs Va Tech and seperated himself from the other RBs. It is early in the season and I have not watched all the SEC teams yet.

As for Snead, he has McCluster (Harvin Lite) to carry the team if he is out. However, I saw on T&R that he may have pig flu as well as Snead.
