| Re: Darren McFadden Wins Second-Straight Doak Walker Award Smith, Tulsa's Matt Forte and Rutgers Ray Rice all had more rushing yards, yards per game, and TDs than McFadden, with the first two guys the only backs over 2000 yards on the season. In fact, Smith finished just shy of 2,500 yards and has 29 rushing touchdowns against a line that has to be far inferior than McFadden's. Not taking sides in the debate, just pointing out what the stats say.
