Arkansas running back, and 2006 recipient, Darren McFadden made it 2 years in a row as he was awarded the 2007 Doak Walker Award last night at the ESPN College Football Awards.
Mike Hart was on hand for the awards ceremony, as were his Wolverine teammates Mario Manningham and Jake Long, who were up for awards as well.
Here is a picture of Mike during the live ESPN telecast:
After the Michigan State win last week, Mike Hart stressed that, with 3 games remaining in his college career, he wasn’t “missing anything”. He is backing that up today, in Madison, WI, as he is dressed and ready to take the field against the Wisconsin Badgers. Backup running back Carlos Brown is starting the game, but Hart is expected to play. The game is airing on ESPN.
Halftime Update: Wolverines are down 20-7, Chad Henne appears to be out for the game, and Mike Hart has not played yet.
As he confidently stated last weekend, after the Minnesota win, Mike Hart will play during today’s battle for the Paul Bunyan trophy in East Lansing versus Michigan State.
Mike and his senior teammates are looking for a 4-year sweep of the rivalry.
The game is airing live on ABC (regional coverage).
