Re: Football: Washington Named to Doak Walker Award Watch List
Good for Washington. I don’t think he will get enough touches though. If perry can figure out his fumbling issues and seeing what Davis gave us at the end of the year. I’d try to split the touches between the 3. Keep them all happy but no gaudy numbers to turn p4 heads. I’d like to see them all get about 120 carries and 700 yards each. 10-12 TDs. That would be 30 rushes a game and about 175 yards. I’d love to be the top rushing team in the belt. Ground and pound on Saturday night is the best think to drink too.
