The Chuck Bednarik award is awarded by the Maxwell Football Club of Philadelphia. I can only imagine that several of the voters are Temple fans and thus fans of Tyler Matakavich, the guy who beat out Reggie. If Christian McCaffery played for Temple, I doubt DH would have received his awards. Even Dick Vermeil was making a big deal of Pennsylvania.

I agree - doesn't make it any less a travesty.

That kid will make it on the next level. In fact, I wouldn't be suprised to see him winning the heisman next year. it's a good experience for him to soak it all in. Watson too. Both are extremely talented and wonderful student-athelete. I pray that all three of them come away from this with lot of life lessons and apply to their performance on and off the field.

ESPN went too far this week and I'm severly disappointed in how they've handled this. They could've at least created equal opportunities for all three of them and kept it balanced. They didn't do that.

I agree, I would have enjoyed them focusing on each player and showing their accomplishments. All of them deserve the spotlight. Not just one...

I find it absolutely sickening that ESPN had the stooges on the set bring race in to the Heisman discussion. Folks that is pathetic on their part and it makes me very mad...so enough said on my part.

I thought they were just trying to fill time, but it was certainly in poor taste and added nothing of substance. IMO, sports is by far the most nonpredjudicial part of society. Their mistake was in the way the approached the subject.

Just now watching the show online. The love they are giving McCaffrey is about to make me puke. If I remember correctly, Matt Leinhart got this same kind of love from the media, too and we all know how THAT turned out. He may have won a Heisman, but he ain't playing football on Sunday. RTR

Huge accomplishments on and off the field....Bama Nation should be very proud!

Many will probably be surprised by this, but Alabama won the inaugural Joe Moore Award for the most outstanding offensive line.

I think the impressiveness of a trophy that comes with it's own furniture is something else...

Wow.

The actual Joe Moore Award trophy, crafted by legendary sports sculptor Jerry McKenna, is the largest trophy in college football and weighs more than 350 pounds. Along with Alabama and the other Finalists, the trophy will be the subject of a CBS Sports Network special scheduled to air in early January.
