Todman on Doak Walker list

Junior RB Jordan Todman was named a candidate for the Doak Walker Award, presented to the nation's top running back.

He rushed for nearly 1,200 yards last season as part of a time-share with Andre Dixon in the Huskies' backfield. He was a second-team All-Big East selection in 2009.

Todman has looked good, as expected, during UConn's training camp. He will lose some carried to Robbie Fry and D.J. Shoemate, but will likely see an increase in his 235 carries from a year ago. That, combined with the Huskies' run-first approach and solid offensive line, should make Todman a viable candidate for the award.
