What is wrong with the Doak Walker Award committee?
The committee that is supposed to award its trophy to the nation’s top running back did not even name one of the nation’s top running backs as a finalist.
Clemson running back Travis Etienne was not named a finalist for the prestigious award on Monday, though he was a finalist for last year’s award. Ohio State’s J.K. Dobbins, Oklahoma State’s Chuba Hubbard and Wisconsin’s Jonathan Taylor were named as the three finalists.
Nothing against those three young men, they are all outstanding running backs, but so is Etienne, who is having an even better season this year than he did last year, in this writer’s opinion.
