Performers of the Week
Posted: Monday November 15, 1999 01:49 AM
Each Sunday, CNNSI.com will hand out its college football awards for the games just played. This edition is based on the games of Thursday, Nov. 11 - Saturday, Nov. 13.
Player of the WeekBen Leard, QB, Auburn. His team an underdog against the school he grew up rooting for in its own backyard, Leard shook off injuries to throw for 416 yards in a 38-21 pasting of Georgia between the hedges.
Team of the WeekWisconsin. Badgers fans lived their ultimate dream Saturday, with Ron Dayne breaking the rushing record and the team winning the Big Ten on the same day.
Unsung HeroChris Weinke, QB, Florida State. Maybe it's that he's older, maybe it's all that talent around him, but no one seems in a hurry to hand any hardware to a guy who threw six TDs on Saturday and is the MVP of the nation's No. 1 team.
Play of the WeekVirginia Tech QB Michael Vick, who never missed a beat when he fumbled scrambling right, picking it right back up, changing direction and completing a pass for first down.
Best coaching callHawaii's June Jones, who may be the smartest coach in America for a) leaving the No Fun League for paradise and b) taking a team that went 0-12 the year before to what is now a 7-3, bowl-bound season.Quote of the Week" It's pretty obvious; Do you like to share an ice cream sundae or do you like to eat it yourself?"-- Wisconsin offensive coordinator Brian White on what it feels like to win the Big Ten outright.
