TCU running back has the nation's longest streak for rushing touchdowns
DALLAS -- The PwC SMU Athletic Forum has announced TCU's Kendre Miller as a semifinalist for the Doak Walker Award, presented to the nation's top running back.
Miller has rushed for a team-best 1,188 yards, making him TCU's first 1,000-yard rusher since Kyle Hicks had 1,042 in 2016. The 1,188 yards are the most by a Horned Frog since Aaron Green had 1,272 in 2015. Miller's five straight 100-yard games was the longest streak by a Horned Frog since Lonta Hobbs with five in 2002. Miller has topped 100 yards in seven of his last nine games.
The junior from Mount Enterprise, Texas, has a rushing touchdown in all 11 games this season, the longest streak by a Horned Frog to begin a campaign since LaDainian Tomlinson scored in all 12 contests in 2000. Dating back to last year, Miller's 12 consecutive games with a rushing touchdown is the longest active streak in the nation.
Miller's team-best 14 rushing touchdowns are tied for seventh nationally.
Tomlinson, who serves on TCU's Board of Trustees, won the 2000 Doak Walker Award.
