DALLAS -- TCU's Kendre Miller has been named to the watch list for the Doak Walker Award, presented to the nation's top running back.

He rushed for 112 yards on 12 attempts, including a 56-yard touchdown, in a victory over Kansas. He also ran for 102 yards at Kansas State while tying a career-high with four receptions. His first career receiving touchdown went for 53 yards at Oklahoma.
