LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) -Stanford’s Toby Gerhart has won the Doak Walker Award honoring the nation’s best running back.
Gerhart accepted the honor at the annual college football awards show Thursday night at Disney World.
Gerhart had more yards rushing (1,736) and touchdowns (26) than any player in the country. He led No. 19 Stanford (8-4) to a second-place finish in the Pac-10 and its first bowl bid in eight years.
Gerhart scored touchdowns in all but one game, topped 100 yards 10 times and 200 yards three times, and averaged at least 4.4 yards per carry in every game this season.
The other nominees were Alabama’s Mark Ingram and Clemson’s C.J. Spiller.
