The Doak is nice as a paperweight.
Trojans look for the Heisman.
Well, Troy has 3 or 4 guys that could become the featured back. So we shall wait until the end of the year to see how all this plays out, which is the only time that matters i.e pre-season awards are made of beach sand.
Can a player still win it without being on the pre-season watch list?
I remember all the heartwarming special interest stories on how Doak Walker and Ricky "Toke" Williams
had become friends the year the Texas back won the Heisman and Walker awards. Maybe Doak used herb medicinally for his glaucoma or something..
