QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Marquise Lee won't win the Heisman, but it's easy to make a case that he is the most outstanding player in college football today. He does it all, possessing great separation skills, very good ball skills and the speed to take the top off a defense."
-Todd McShay ESPN.com
Charles Woodson is the only defensive player to win the Heisman trophy. (1997)

THE MORNING BREW Predictions for the upcoming college football awards
The annual College Football Awards will take place next Thursday, on Dec. 6. This award ceremony will feature the following; the Maxwell Award (most outstanding player), the Biletnikoff Award (most outstanding wide receiver), the Chuck Bednarik Award (defensive player of the year), the Doak Walker Award (most outstanding running back), the Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award, the Ray Guy Award (most outstanding punter), the Outland Trophy (most outstanding interior lineman), the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award and the Jim Thorpe Award (most outstanding defensive back).
Below are the finalists for the most significant awards, and my picks on who I believe deserves each award.
MAXWELL AWARD FINALISTS: (MOST OUTSTANDING PLAYER)
- Collin Klein (Kansas State)
- Johnny Manziel (Texas A&M)
- Manti Teó (Notre Dame)
Pick: Johnny Manziel
The most valuable player in college football is Manziel. As important as Teó has been to the great Notre Dame defense, the Aggies would just be an average team without Manziel. Manziel's dual threat ability allows him to excel even after a play breaks down. The Aggies have leaned heavily on
his shoulders for this whole season. Manziel has put the finishing touches on his already stellar season last week against Missouri with 372 passing yards and five touchdowns for the game. It also helped that Manziel went to Tuscaloosa and beat an Alabama team that was No. 1 at the time.
BILETNIKOFF AWARD: (BEST RECEIVER)
- Stedman Bailey (West Virginia)
* Marquise Lee (USC)
Pick: Marquise Lee
All three of these wide receivers have put up mind-boggling numbers, but Lee has made the biggest plays and set multiple records for the Trojans all year. Lee went more than 100 yards receiving in eight of the 12 games this season and set a new school
record for receiving yards in a game against Arizona. Lee is also the best pro-prospect out of these three, and a couple of days ago was named as the Pac-12 offensive player of the year.
CHUCK BEDNARIK TROPHY: (DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR)
Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina)
Jarvis Jones (Georgia)
Manti Te'o (Notre Dame)
Pick: Manti Te'o
Although Jarvis Jones may be the best defensive pro-prospect in college football, Teo has made his most prevalent contributions for Notre Dame in the biggest games. Teo has six games this season where he has recorded 10 or more tackles. Teo is also tied for second in college football with seven interceptions. Not second among linebackers but second overall, and the player he's tied with happens to be a cornerback. The linebacker with the second most interceptions is Kiko Alonso (Oregon) with four.
DOAK WALKER AWARD (BEST RUNNING
BACK)
- Montee Ball (Wisconsin)
- Kenjon Barner (Oregon)
- Johnathan Franklin (UCLA)
Pick: Kenjon Barner
Before the season it was projected that Oregon's other star running back, DeAnthony Thomas, could be one of the finalists for the Heisman at the end of the year. But after Barner's Week 2 performance against Fresno State, rushing for 201 yards and three touchdowns, he was named the starter and had the majority of the carries for the Ducks. Barner's monster game against USC put him in the Heisman discussion. In this game Barner had 321 rushing yards and five touchdowns and might be one of the Heisman finalists who will get an invite to New York for the ceremonies on Dec. 8.

Kentucky trounces Miami (Ohio), Pinkett leads with 21 points
I ASSOCIATE PRESS
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Bernisha Pinkett had career highs of 21 points and 10 rebounds, Adia Mathies added 14 points and No. 9 Kentucky rolled past Miami (Ohio) 92-53 on Wednesday.
A morning tipoff before 2,000 sixth-graders may have caused a
DeNesha Stallworth scored 12 points and had eight rebounds for Kentucky (5-1), which won its 25th straight home game. Freshman Janee Thompson had 14 points and Bria Goss added 12.
sluggish start before the Wildcats' defense got going. Kentucky ended up holding Miami (3-3) to 33 percent shooting while forcing 22 turnovers that led to 29 points.
Courtney Osborn scored a game-high 25 points for the RedHawks, who lost their second straight game
and fell to 2-16 against Kentucky.
Pinket's 12 first-half points provided the spark en route to 8-of-13 shooting and the junior's highest output since scoring 18 points twice last season.
"The great thing for us is that Miami was a tough team and made
us work hard today," Kentucky coach Matthew Mitchell said. "We had to earn that victory."
Kentucky used 59 percent shooting in the second half to finish 50 percent overall for the second straight game. The Wildcats went 11 for 29 from 3-point range, had
16 steals and only seven turnovers.
Miami took the lead four times in the first 10 minutes by limiting Kentucky to 39 percent shooting.
