Montee Ball?s season of resurgence continued Thursday night.
The victim of a brutal assault less than a week before the opening of preseason camp in August, Wisconsin?s senior tailback struggled early in the season and eventually fell out of the race for the Heisman Trophy.
On Thursday, five days after being named the MVP of the Big Ten Conference title game, Ball won the 2012 Doak Walker Award, given annually to the top running back in the nation.
