Ingram rushed for 151 yards and two touchdowns on just nine carries in the 62-13 win over Duke. Ingram said he was sore Sunday, but the soreness did not come from his surgically-repaired knee. In the end, the junior was just happy to be back out on the field with his teammates.
"It was great just to be able to get back out there with the team," said Ingram. "It was hurting just not being able to be out there with them contributing the first two weeks. I really just wanted to get back out there and make an impact and show the team I'm still capable of making some plays."
Head coach Nick Saban was pleased as well, saying the coaching staff will look to continue increasing Ingram's workload as the knee continues to strengthen.
"I thought he did a really good job and hopefully we'll just keep taking another step to continuing to increase and improve his role with our team," Saban said.
Alabama will open SEC play this Saturday on the road against No. 10 Arkansas.
