October 11, 2018 | Football
NEW ORLEANS (Oct. 11, 2018) – Washington State quarterback Gardner Minshew II was named the Manning Award Quarterback of the Week, the Allstate Sugar Bowl announced Wednesday. Minshew II was one of eight quarterbacks named a "Star" of the week before a facebook fan vote determined the winner.
Minshew II completed 30-of-40 passes for 430 yards and five touchdowns in the win at Oregon State last Saturday. The graduate transfer entered the bye week leading the country in passing yards (2,422), passing yards-per-game (403.7) and total offense-per-game (411.0), and fifth in the country with a Pac-12 Conference best 19 passing touchdowns.
Earlier this week, Minshew II was named the Rose Bowl Game Pac-12 Player of the Week, the Reese's Senior Bowl Senior of the Week and was added to Maxwell Award Watch List.
The Manning Award was created by the Allstate Sugar Bowl in honor of the college football accomplishments of Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning. It is the only college football quarterback award that includes the candidates' bowl performances in its balloting; therefore, it is presented annually following the completion of the bowl season. The winner is selected by a panel of national media covering college football, as well as each of the Mannings.
