Who won what in College Football
College Football Who won what is the question answered in our annual review of college football awards he 2006 college season will go down as one of the most entertaining ever with an amazing assortment of last-minute heroics, unexpected upsets and surprising blowouts. Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson lost out on the Heisman, Florida trounced Ohio State in the national championship and Boise State had no business even being in a BCS bowl game. But as they say, “That’s why they play the game!” For the younger players, it’s now time to get back into the weightroom and prepare for next year. For the seniors, it’s time to start their careers or families.
And for a few especially gifted athletes, it’s time to take a shot at the NFL. But before moving on to the 2007 season, let’s recap some of the outstanding individual performances of 2006. Apart from knowing who took the Heisman, many fans don’t have a clue who won what of the post-season college football awards. And that’s a shame, as football is a team game. Quarterbacks need their offensive linemen, corners need their linebackers, and – to the frustration of many players and fans – everybody needs their punters and kickers. These players deserve recognition and respect.
With the idea of spreading the glory around, here’s a recap of the major football awards in college football for the 2006 season.
Florida quarterback Chris Leak led one of the greatest upsets in bowl history, a 41-14 victory over Ohio State.

Pre-season Heisman Trophy favorite Adrian Peterson broke his collarbone only a few days after our November/December 2006 issue went to press. He recovered in time to play in the Fiesta Bowl, where he scored two touchdowns.
