Ed BurrowsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Dan Parks slid over to make the stop, but it's the first down for Michigan State.
Tom HemingwaySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Well, regardless of who Duffy Doherty puts in that tailback position, he's coming on out there looking like Doak Walker.
Tom HemingwaySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And that time, sophomore Earl Anderson from Tipton, Georgia, a scat back at 5'9", 198.
Tom HemingwaySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Stumpy left, tore around that right side, got a good block from Berlinski, and gave Michigan State a first down at the Michigan 35.
Ankit ChughHOST
Dexter Bussey was SELFLESS! When discussing legendary running backs in Detroit, many think of Barry Sanders, Billy Sims, and Doak Walker.
Ankit ChughHOST
But Dexter Bussey's place in that conversation deserves to be remembered.
Ankit ChughHOST
Born in Dallas, Texas, Bussey's college career began at the University of Oklahoma, which, at the time, was a running back factory, led by head coach Chuck Fairbanks and offensive coordinator Barry Switzer.
Todd McKinneyHOST
They ended up undefeated in the regular season, then lost in the ballgame, but wound up number three in the country.
Todd McKinneyHOST
And I don't understand, looking back at it, how did Charlie not win the Heisman Trophy that year? He had more yards rushing than Doak Walker, more yards passing than Doak Walker, more TDs, better punting average.
Todd McKinneyHOST
I mean, how did he not win the award?
Steve KirshnerGUEST
I don't know.
Steve KirshnerGUEST
I don't know the answer to that.
Steve KirshnerGUEST
I do know that, you know, two runner-up finishes in the Heisman, and he was, I think it was the Washington Touchdown Club National Player of the Year.
Steve KirshnerGUEST
So he was well-known, I think, I think Doak Walker might have been even better known on a national scale.
Steve KirshnerGUEST
But I don't think winning, whether he won the Heisman or not, I've never heard someone say at Carolina, well, we love Charlie, but he didn't win the Heisman.
Will HillHOST
But you tell me anything in those categories that you've, uh, you know, you have your eye on, if anything.
Chris FallicaGUEST
I would be looking i-in the, uh, the Doak Walker market.
Chris FallicaGUEST
I, I think either Ball or Nate Shepherd, who leads the nation in rushing right now, it feels like one of those two guys, uh, ultimately will play out that way.
Chris FallicaGUEST
Uh, it feels like we're looking at Malachi Toney or, uh, Jeremiah Smith in the Biletnikoff market, so maybe you can, you can kinda put those two together at some plus, uh, plus money and figure things out.
Robin WashutHOST
His worst game of his career as the
Sean CallahanHOST
Doak Walker.
Steve SippleHOST
So if it looks like that, that quarterback, whose name I can't pronounce for the life of me, but played against Nebraska last year.
Steve SippleHOST
Milovich? Yeah, something like that.
Ben CriddleHOST
He's been pulled out in the second half in two of our three games, which I love.
Ben CriddleHOST
If you wanted to be a Doak Walker Award winner, you wanted to be a Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, you know, many will say, well, it's about Big 12 play with LJ anyways.
Ben CriddleHOST
It's not non-conference.
Ben CriddleHOST
So he got to play the entirety of that U of A game, and that was awesome.
Ben CriddleHOST
But if you're looking for like a Doak Walker type of season and you want the Agati stats, then you're kind of punching air.
Ben CriddleHOST
You know, kind of like, ah, son of a gun.
Ben CriddleHOST
We don't have our number one and number two players in, et cetera.
Max ChadwickHOST
We said it before, Trinidad Chambliss right now, I would say, is the favorite for the Heisman Trophy.
Max ChadwickHOST
Right now, I would say Jayden Ball is the favorite for the Doak Walker Award right now.
Max ChadwickHOST
He has been unbelievable to start the year.
Max ChadwickHOST
He's right now a projected first-round pick in the draft.
Max ChadwickHOST
So Jayden Ball has the most, uh, broken tackles in the nation right now with 30.
Max ChadwickHOST
Ole Miss has the second most missed tackles of any Power Four team this year with 46 of them.
Max ChadwickHOST
So if they don't, you know, strap on their chin straps against Jayden Ball and bring their hard hats and run defense, Ball could continue to have a electric start to this season and really take control of this Doak Walker Award race right now because he has been on fire, and this Ole Miss run defense has shown a lot of vulnerabilities to start the season, especially with tackling.
Dalton WassermanHOST
The, the one, the one-- uh, it's-- the Doak Walker thing, the one ar- counterargument I would have there is my perpetual standout, Nate Sheppard.
Adam HawesPANELIST
He's got eight touchdowns, over 400 yards rushing.
Adam HawesPANELIST
Wayne Knight, right now, he's your leader for the Doak Walker, I think.
Adam HawesPANELIST
The best running back in the nation.
Adam HawesPANELIST
UCLA is laying one and a half points right now.
Ben CriddleHOST
He's been pulled out in the second half in two of our three games, which I love.

Mitch HarperHOST
The days of Luke Staley.
Mitch HarperHOST
Remember when Luke Staley won the Doak Walker? He was averaging more than eight yards per carry the entire season on his way to earning the Doak Walker Award.
Mitch HarperHOST
The level of impact that LJ has on this team.
Mitch HarperHOST
And he always gets positive yards, too.
