Coleman currently is one of 103 candidates on the watch list for the Doak Walker Award, an honor bestowed annually to the nation's top ball carrier. In 1990, Lewis became a running back pioneer as the first of 35 Doak Walker winners who actually did something that Coleman won't be able to match.

The preseason No. 1 team in the country received another accolade Tuesday. The Texas Longhorn running backs CJ Baxter and Quintrevion Wisner were selected to the preseason watch list for the Doak Walker Award.

Two Tennessee running backs have been named to the Doak Walker Award preseason watch list. Redshirt sophomore DeSean Bishop and senior transfer Star Thomas were on the list for the award, which is given to the best running back in college football.
