Doak Walker Award

I submitted my Doak Walker vote today.

The finalists are Iowa's Shonn Greene, Georgia's Knowshon Moreno and Michigan State's Javon Ringer. The vote is due next Monday at 5 p.m. The winner will be announced on ESPN's college awards show on Dec. 11 at 6:30 p.m.

I saw all three quite a bit. I was impressed with Moreno in the passing game last weekend against Georgia Tech. Ringer was Michigan State.

This will be the knock on Greene when voters look for knocks, who did the Hawkeyes play? Iowa beat one ranked opponent, then-No. 3 Penn State. The Hawkeyes beat four teams (Maine, Wisconsin, Penn State and Minnesota) with winning records. Maine is a FCS team. Of course, Iowa's losses were close (four losses by a total of 12-points) and Greene rushed for more than 100 yards in every loss. That will be the knock.
