The Coors Light Knight’s Week 1 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!)
Jimmy Clausen, Quarterback for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish
I don’t like Notre Dame or Clausen but he couldn’t have turned in a more perfect game than the one against Nevada. Not only did Clausen put up 315 yards and four touchdowns, he had a quarterback rating of 303.7! For those of you who don’t know if that’s good the next highest rating was 221 by Case Keenum of Houston. Clausen was not sacked once during the game.
Best Running Back Award (Hey Big 12, there’s this thing called a tailback that can rush the ball!)
Jahvid Best, Running Back for the California Golden Bears
The dark horse in the Heisman race peeled of 137 yards against a Maryland team that beat the Golden Bears last year. He ran for two TDs including a gem of one in which he went 73 yards. Best proved he might be the best running back in the country this year.
Best Wide Receiver Award (It’s a good chance the winner will go on to be a NFL diva)
Michael Floyd, Wide Receiver for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish
I hate to give the same team two awards but Floyd deserves this big time. He had the most yards at 189, the most TDs at 3, and had a long TD of 88 yards. With Golden Tate and Floyd, Clausen should have a pretty easy time racking up some major passing yards this year.
Best Defensive Team (Did your opponent score in single digits. Then step on up!)
Boise State Broncos
In a match of ugliest uniform versus ugliest field, Boise State stopped the Ducks cold in the water. They held Mike Tyson wannabe, LaGarrette Blunt to -5 yards and the Oregon offense as a whole to 157 yards. They also had one interception. Whoever said WAC teams can’t play defense needs to keep an eye on the team that plays on the Smurf Turf.
Worst Defensive Team (Did your opponent put up 40? Then you stink at defense!)
Rutgers Scarlet Knights
This was supposed to be Greg Schiano’s year. The year Rutgers would win the Big East and make it the BCS. As Lee Corso would say, "Not so Fast Biatch!’ I think he says it like that. Rutgers picked off Cincinnati once but allowed three passing TDs, two rushing TDs, and 564 yards of offense. I bet Schiano wishes he would have jumped on some of those high profile jobs when they were being offered to him.
Surprise Team of the Week (This award can either be to a winner or loser. It has to be surprising though!)
UAB Blazers
Why everyone in America watched other games, the lowly UAB Blazers kicked the crap out Conference USA rival Rice, beating the Owls 44-24. Quarterback Joe Webb went for 194 yards and two TDs, and by the way those are his RUSHING stats. He also threw for 221 yards and two TD passes. Sure Rice lost a lot of its talent last year, but holy crap did UAB need a win like this against a conference opponent.
Dud of the Week (To the worst player, coach, or team of the week)
Georgia Bulldogs
I know that the Cowboys of Oklahoma State were favored in this game, but most people thought Georgia would make this a very tight game. Wrong! Joe Cox struggled after his first TD drive at the beginning of the game throwing a pick and also fumbling the ball to seal the win for the Boys’. The defense played decently against a very good Oklahoma State offense, but unless Georgia can turn it around offensively they are in for a long year.
Coach on the Hot Seat (Who’s about to lose their job? Let’s find out!)
Al Groh, Head Coach of the Virginia Cavaliers
The coach of the Cavaliers starts the year in the hot seat. So what does he do? His team gets beat badly by FCS school William & Mary. Virginia’s offense was terrible against William & Mary and defense was not great either. Given this travesty of a game, Groh shouldn’t be at Virginia much longer.
Player of the Week (Which player willed his team to victory? It was probably this guy)
Mark Ingram, Running Back for the Alabama Crimson Tide
Say what you want to about the Crimson Tide’s ugly win but no single player was more important to his team than Mark Ingram. Ingram rushed for 150 yards and a TD, not to mention a receiving TD. When Alabama went into the 4th quarter trailing by 1, Ingram put the team on his back and pulled them to a victory against a very solid Virginia Tech defense.
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)
BYU Cougars
Do I really need to explain why the cougars are the team of the week? This game ruined not only the chances of an Oklahoma National Championship, but also a second Heisman for Bradford. Despite all that, give it up to BYU getting in back-up QB Landry Jones face all night and keeping Oklahoma off the scoreboard. With a little luck and some great play from BYU, is it possible the Cougars could find their way to Pasadena. The first non-BCS team to play for a National Title? A win against Oklahoma is a good start.
