The nation's finest running back has received the Doak Walker Award for 27 years. Underdogs are looking to crash what has been mostly a Power Five party.
First awarded in 1990 and named after the legendary SMU rusher, the Doak Walker Award honors the the nation's top college football running back. This year, 26 fleet-footed Underdogs look to tote the Doak into the end zone.
You have to admire the thoroughness of the 2016 Doak Walker Award Watch List. More than half of the nation's leading collegiate rushers – 76 running backs in all – make an appearance.
