The Coors Light Knight’s Week 3 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!)
Jacory Harris, Quarterback for the Miami Hurricanes
Are the Hurricanes back? All signs point to maybe, probably. I don’t think they are ready for a national title yet but with Jacory Harris putting up 3 TD passes and 270 yards with no picks they are getting in the neighborhood. The Canes play Virginia Tech on the road next week to pretty much decide who will win the ACC.
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
I hate giving this award to a player I gave it to two weeks ago but come on! 131 yards and five TDs in one game, who else but the soon to be All-American running back can I give it to.

Best Wide Receiver Award (It’s a good chance the winner will go on to be a NFL diva)
Eric Decker, Wide Receiver for the Minnesota Golden Gophers
This was an absolute no brainer. Decker caught two of the three touchdown passes and 119 yards for the Gophers in a loss to California. Why didn’t he catch the third TD pass? Well because he was the one who THREW the third TD pass in a great trickeration play. Great game by Decker!

Best Defensive Team (Did your opponent score in single digits. Then step on up!)
Washington Huskies
This was a close one between the Huskies and Auburn who had six turnovers. But this award goes to Washington because who the hell thought Washington would win this game with defense. Also Auburn allowed like 300 rushing yards. Not only did the Washington D force three turnovers they didn’t allow a SINGLE third down conversion. Steve Sarkisian might just be the right man for this job after all.

Worst Defensive Team (Did your opponent put up 40? Then you stink at defense!)
Arkansas Razorbacks
Ryan Mallet may be the best quarterback in the SEC, but the Razorback defense is going to have to learn to stop the other team from scoring. Mallet can’t score on every drive. In a terrible defensive effort by both teams Arkansas allowed Georgia 500 yards of offense, 6 TDs, and three field goals. Wow, that is a hell of a lot of scoring.

Surprise Team of the Week (This award can either be to a winner or loser. It has to be surprising though!)
Tennessee Volunteers
What happened Tebow and Meyer? I thought this would be a blowout. I don’t know if this means Tennessee is better than we thought or Florida is worse. Florida returned 95% of a national championship team this year and yet they looked extremely average against the Volunteers who really put a lot into this game. Monte Kiffin, Lane’s daddy, really knows his defense. A very solid game for the Volunteers, if it weren’t for the UCLA loss I might think Tennessee a contender this year.

Dud of the Week (To the worst player, coach, or team of the week)
BYU Cougars
Holy crap and a half! I thought FSU might squeeze a victory here but not the absolute dominating beat down that they put on the Cougars. It seemed like Florida State players were all over the field, and Max Hall was very ineffective. Max Hall threw for three interceptions one of which was returned for a TD. BYU believed all the hype it was getting, so did the rest of the world. Florida State didn’t and it showed on Saturday.

Coach on the Hot Seat (Who’s about to lose their job? Let’s find out!)
Bill Stewart, Head Coach of the West Virginia Mountaineers
I promise this is not a smack against Auburn who played very well the last three quarters of the game Saturday night, but to me Bill Stewart looks like an old man just getting in the way out on the sideline. His team struggled to hang with a team that they were running all over in the first quarter. An away loss to Auburn is not the end of the world, but I think it’s becoming clearer that this job is not for Stewart.

Player of the Week (Which player willed his team to victory? It was probably this guy)
Tyrod Taylor, Quarterback for the Virginia Tech Hokies
Say what you want to about Tyrod Taylor’s arm but he made two clutch passes when his team needed him to. First the awesome 80 yard pass to Danny Coale, and then a threaded needle pass to Dyrell Roberts in the endzone of 3rd and goal with several defenders about to bring him the pain. Very clutch throwing from a quarterback not known for his passing. He saved his team from starting the season 1-2.

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)
Washington Huskies
You can almost set your clock by USC. The Trojans will get beat by an unranked PAC-10 at some point in the year. That being said thank you to both teams for a very exciting game. There were three Washington fans cheering for the Huskies in Drew’s den this weekend. Almost everyone likes seeing USC go down. Jake Locker made some very good clutch throws down the stretch, and the defense really played good against Aaron Corp and the USC offense. Time to start drinking the purple Kool-Aid!
