Maxwell Award (Top Player): Manti Te'o from Notre Dame won this award. I believe that this award should have been given to Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M. Manziel won the Heisman and I think that he was the best player. It is very hard to compare a quarterback and a linebacker. Te'o did help his team to a 12-0 record and a spot in the BCS National Championship game. He was by far the best defender in the nation this season. Te'o had 7 INTs which was tied for 2nd most in the nation. He recorded 101 tackles and 1.5 sacks. I expert looked at all of Manti Te'o plays and said he only missed two tackles all year. I thought Johnny Manziel should have won this award but Te'o was also very great. Te'o is the 7th player from Notre Dame to win this award.
Davey O'Brien Award (Best QB): Johnny Manziel from Texas A&M won this award. I totally agree with this award choice. Manziel

rushing yards and 18 rushing TDs. He broke the SEC record for total
yards with 4600 total yards previously held by Cam Newton who won the
2010 Heisman. He is also 8th in the nation in passing percentage at
68.3%. He helped his team to a 10-2 record in their first season in the
SEC. He is the first player from Texas A&M to win this award. Just being a freshman it will be fun to see what he can do for the next two seasons in college.
Johnny Unitas Award (Best 4th year / Senior QB): Collin Klein from Kansas State won this award. I totally agree with this award choice. Klein had 2490 passing yards, 15 passing TDs and 7 INTs. He also had
890 rushing yards and 22 rushing TDs. He had 3380 total yards and 37 total touchdowns. He is also 24th in the nation in

This is the second time a player from Wisconsin had won this award.

Notre Dame won this award. I agree with this award choice. He had 624 receiving yards and 4 TDs. He caught 44 passes and his average per catch
