Jahmyr Gibbs was announced as the Doak Walker Running Back of the Week for his efforts against Arkansas Saturday. Could it have been anyone else?
Gibbs put the Crimson Tide on his back when they needed it most. He rushed for 206 yards and 2 touchdowns, the most of his career in a single game in both categories.

The Crimson Tide were in trouble until Gibbs and backup quarterback Jalen Milroe broke off for a pair of 75+ yard rushes. From there, the Tide were able to literally run away with things and improve to 5-0 on the season with a matchup against Texas A&M on the horizon.
