The Coors Light Knight’s Week 2 College Football Awards
(No one that plays a FCS team gets an award, unless you get beat by that FCS team! Teams that play other good teams get more consideration!)
Best Quarterback Award (For that quarterback who’s so good he makes you sick!)
Tate Forcier, Quarterback for the Michigan Wolverines
Finally since Chad Henne, Michigan might have a good stable quarterback. Forcier threw one pick but he also threw for 2 TDs. He also can run the ball like a running back. He had 70 yards rushing including a great TD run through some Notre Dame defenders. Things are finally looking up for the maize and blue.
Best Running Back Award (Hey Big 12, there’s this thing called a tailback that can rush the ball!)
Ryan Williams, Running Back for the Virginia Tech Hokies
After a tough loss to Alabama the Hokies needed a big win. The only problem Tyrod Taylor can't throw the ball. The answer is new running back Ryan Williams who tore up the Marshall defense for 3 TDs and 164 yards. I know its Marshall but thats still damn impressive.
Best Wide Receiver Award (It’s a good chance the winner will go on to be a NFL diva)
Greg Salas, Wide Receiver for the Hawaii Warriors
This was a tough one for this week but I went with Salas who had 195 yards and a TD against Washignton State. I know it was against a terrible Washington State team but this Hawaii victory was against a BCS team away from home. Maybe Hawaii can make some noise this year.
Best Defensive Team (Did your opponent score in single digits. Then step on up!)
LSU Tigers
Vanderbilt's defense was okay but LSU kept Vandy's offense off the board except for one TD (the other 2 points was a safety). Vandy was kept under 200 yards, they were intercepted by LSU and kept under 200 yards, and only seven offensive points, pretty tough D.
Worst Defensive Team (Did your opponent put up 40? Then you stink at defense!)
Notre Dame Fighting Irish
Everyone thought the Irish's defense would be soft this year. Then they shut-out Nevada and people changed their mind. Wrong! Notre Dame allowed 200 yards passing, seventy yards rushing just from the quarterback, plus another 100 rushing yards. The Dame offense gets an A, but the defense not off to a great start.
Surprise Team of the Week (This award can either be to a winner or loser. It has to be surprising though!)
Bowling Green Falcons
You don't have to win a game to be my Suprise team. A week after handling the Troy Trojans the Falcons almost upset the Missouri Tigers a top 25 team. Sure the Tigers came back with a late TD but I think the Falcons might be the team to beat in the MAC this year.
Dud of the Week (To the worst player, coach, or team of the week)
Oklahoma State Cowboys
Last week the the Georgia Bulldogs were the dud, this week its the team that beat them. After beating a high profile SEC team the Cowboys followed it up with a loss to the Houston Cougars. Now all that being said Houston is a good team. There is no question about that, but with Robinson, Bryant, and Hunter running the offense this should be a top 5 team. Houston proved its not.
Coach on the Hot Seat (Who’s about to lose their job? Let’s find out!)
Dan Hawkins, Head Coach of the Colorado Buffaloes
Hawkins promised that this year would be different. This would be the year things turned around for Colorado. It ain't happening. After a loss to rival Colorado State at home the Buffs went on the road and got smacked around by Toledo. They Rockets scored almost at will on the hapless Colorado defense, the offense staring Hawkins Jr. wasn't much better. I'd love to say its not too late but I think it may be too late for Coach Hawkins.
Player of the Week (Which player willed his team to victory? It was probably this guy)
Joe McKnight, Running Back for the USC Trojans
A lot of love went out to Matt Barkley for the last minute drive that led the Trojans to a victory over the Buckeyes, but to me Joe McKnight did a lot more of the work than Barkley. He made several big runs on long 3rd and 4th downs. Good job by Barkley, great job by McKnight.
Team of the Week (To the team that had the best week, and not just a win, to the team that had the best win)
Houston Cougars
Trade in one cougar team for another. Maybe Washington State will be here next week. Ok now that your done laughing lets talk about Houston. They really played a beautiful game against the Cowboys. It was the 1st top 5 team Houston had beat since 1984 when thet beat Texas. Case Keenum might have might be a dark horse Heisman candidate now, and Houston will be itching to go undefeated so that just in case Boise State and BYU flounder they can jump into the BCS. A win against Texas Tech next week might help them out.
