Trophy News from Bloomberg.com….

Heisman Trophy Winner Bradford Returns to Oklahoma Next Season
Jan. 15 (Bloomberg) — University of Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford wants to emulate Jason White, who led the Sooners to a second national championship game appearance the year after he won the 2003 Heisman Trophy.

Bradford, the 2008 Heisman Trophy winner, said yesterday he’ll return for his junior year. White’s feat was repeated the following year by Matt Leinart, who led the University of Southern California to the Bowl Championship Series title game in 2005, the year after he won the trophy. (more…)

Mack And Reed Named 29th Morris Trophy Winners

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

Trophy News from Walnut Creek, California….
Mack And Reed Names 29th Morris Trophy Winners

Mack becomes just the third offensive lineman, and the first since Washington’s Lincoln Kennedy in 1991-92, to be named a two-time winner of the award.
Center Alex Mack of California and defensive end Nick Reed of Oregon have been named winners of the 29th annual Morris Trophy. Mack becomes just the third offensive lineman, and the first since Washington’s Lincoln Kennedy in 1991-92, to be named a two-time winner of the award.

The Morris Trophy is a unique award given to the outstanding offensive and defensive linemen in the Pacific-10 Conference. What makes the award unique is the selection procedure, which has the starting offensive linemen in the Conference voting for the defensive winner and vice versa. It is truly a players’ award.

Mack, a 6-foot-5, 316-pound senior from Santa Barbara, Calif., was named a first-team All-Pac-10 performer for the third straight year in voting by the Pac-10 head coaches and also has been selected the second-team All-America center by the Walter Camp Foundation. In addition, Mack became the first Pac-10 player to be awarded the prestigious Draddy Trophy by the National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame to the nation’s top scholar-athlete. He has started all 37 games at center for the Golden Bears the last three seasons. In addition to his prowess on the field, Mack was named a first-team Pac-10 All-Academic selection by virtue of a 3.60 grade-point average in Graduate Studies. (more…)

Heisman Trophy Watch – Week 15

Monday, December 8th, 2008

NCAA Football Trophy News…
Heisman Trophy Watch – Week 15

Sam Bradford helped his team dominate against last week in a 62-21 victory over Missouri in the Big 12 Championship game. Bradford has now lead the Sooners to 5 straight games of 60+ points and he continues to lead all of FBS with 48 passing touchdowns. Bradford is also third in total passing yards and first in all of college football in QB rating. He’s lead his team to the National Championship, something only Tim Tebow on this list can claim as well. Bradford has been consistently the best player in college football this year and should be considered as the favorite for the trophy, which, according to SportsBook.com, Bradford is the favorite, at -400 to win the Heisman Trophy this year.

Colt McCoy is a victim of circumstance this year. His team missed out on the Big 12 Championship and a bid to the BCS Championship game because of a 3-way tie in the Big 12 South, in which the tie-breaker went to the Oklahoma Sooners, even though McCoy and his Longhorns were the only team to beat Oklahoma this year. In addition to missing out on a national title, McCoy also lost a chance to improve on his Heisman resume. While Bradford and Tebow lead their teams to impressive victories on national television, McCoy was nowhere to be seen, his team idle this weekend. I would still contend that no single player in college football has meant more to his team than McCoy, but things simply didn’t line up right for him to win the Heisman in 2008. McCoy certain had a Heisman-worthy year, passing for 3,445 yards, 32 touchdowns, and completing an improbable and impressive 77.5% of his passes. It’s just too bad for Colt that Sam Bradford’s team ended up with all of the BCS luck this season. McCoy lost out to Bradford for both the Big 12 Player of the Year and First-Team Big 12 QB honors, and it appears he will also fall second to Bradford in the Heisman voting as well. (more…)
