Best Offensive Performance - Andrew Luck (Standford - 302 Total yards, 4 touchdowns)
Andrew Luck looked NFL ready against Virgina Tech, but decided to stay for his senior season. Expect more big plays from this guy as he leads the Cardinal next year. I would have him atop my Heisman watch, but with a new coach I am a little tempted to hold him at second or third.
Honorable Mention - Ronnie Hillman (San Diego St.), Landry Jones (Oklahoma)
Best Defensive Performance - Tank Carder (TCU)
Who would not be intimidated play against someone named Tank. He helped contain that Wisconsin running game and made crucial play after crucial play, including the knocked down pass on the two point conversion try. He may not have had the best numbers (6 Tackles for loss, 1 sack), but he has made big plays all season, and will continue to make big plays.
Best Offense - Alabama Crimson Tide
Racked up 546 total yards, and possessed the ball over 32 minutes. They honestly looked like the Alabama of old who rolled over everyone last season.
Honorable Mention - Boise St.
Best Defense - Tulsa Golden Hurricane
Forced Hawaii to turn the ball over six times, taking 2 of them back for a score. Nuff Sed (translation: "Enough Said" for all those not from Hawaii)
Worst Offensive Performance - Michigan St. Spartans
Only 171 total yards and a grand total of -48 yards rushing. The magic found in Lancing was no were to be found the Capital One Bowl.
Worst Defensive Performance - Utah Utes
Allowing Boise to throw for 340 yards and another 200 on the ground, the Utes didn't have they're usual spring when it comes to bowl games.
Best Bowl Game - BCS National Championship Game
Although some may same the game was very sloppy, I felt like it lived up to its name. Having five weeks off will make programs rusty, but in my opinion it had to the best game of the season.
Honorable Mention - Rose Bowl - TCU over Wisconsin (very close second)
Little Caesars Bowl - FIU over Toledo (If you missed this game, find it)
Worst Bowl Game - Oklahoma over UCONN & Maryland over ECU
No one wants to see teams get blown out in a bowl game. These two games produced the blow outs of the bowl season.
