Believe it or not, Oregon State almost had two winners in the BP Awards. However, Notre Dame's Jeff Samardzija edged out OSU's Mike Hass, even though Hass had five more first-place votes. Congratulations, Jeff, on winning the first annual Boston-Carter Trophy as the nation's best receiver (now just make sure to drop plenty of passes in the Fiesta Bowl!).

Jeff Samardizija (Notre Dame) - 231 (15)
Mike Hass (Oregon State) - 214 (20)
Dwayne Jarrett (Southern Cal) - 205 (5)
Santonio Holmes (Ohio State) - 180 (9)
Calvin Johnson (Georgia Tech) - 82 (6)
Derek Hagan (Arizona State) - 47 (1)
Greg Jennings (Western Michigan) - 37
Martin Nance (Miami of Ohio) - 28 (2)
Jason Hill (Washington State) - 24
Demetrius Williams (Oregon) - 19
Garrett Mills (Tulsa) - 14
Chad Jackson (Florida) - 13
Sidney Rice (South Carolina) - 12
Greg Lee (Pitt) - 11 (1)
Tyrone Prothro (Alabama) - 9
Billy Pittman (Texas) - 7
Maurice Stovall (Notre Dame) - 7
Jason Avant (Michigan) - 6 (1)
Jovon Bouknight (Wyoming) - 6
D'Juan Woods (Oklahoma State) - 5
Dorien Bryant (Purdue) - 3
Ryan Grice-Mullen (Hawaii) - 3
Vernon Davis (Maryland) - 3
Jarrett Hicks (Texas Tech) - 3
Steve Smith (Southern Cal) - 3
Charles Sharon (Bowling Green)
Davone Bess (Hawaii) - 2
Ryne Robinson (Miami of Ohio) - 2
Hank Baskett (New Mexico) - 2
Jeff Webb (San Diego State) - 2
Shaun Herbert (Northwestern) - 2
David Anderson (Colorado State) - 1
Marcedes Lewis (UCLA) - 1
Brandon Williams (Wisconsin) - 1

As you can see, the voting here was very close, with 3 players receiving (ouch!) over 200 points, and another earning 180. BTW, Santonio Holmes also had 12 second-place votes to go along with his 9 firsts.

This one was really hard for me. So many talented players stepping up this year. And then some with lesser natural ability proving what hard work can do.

Great list. Certainly can't argue with the seasons the top five or so had.

The Boston-Carter Trophy

1. Mike Hass, Oregon St
2. Dwayne Jarrett, USC
3. Jovon Bouknight, Wyoming
4. Santonio Holmes, tOSU
5. Jason Hill, WSU
6. Jeff Samardzija, Notre Dame

That's how I voted.

My view is biased, but I can't imagine anyone who did more than Holmes; Blocked, took the tough pass over the middle, made the difficult catch, returned punts, didn't bitch when the spotlight was off him, made crucial plays no matter what was called for... his size may go against him in the draft, but I don't think so. A coach knows he'll always give you his best, will always run a route to perfection and will always be a team player. What a loss if he goes this year and yet I can't do anything but wish him the best for all that he has given to we fans.

warfield was a hb said:
Woody moved him around from Halfback to wideout. When Wisconsin came to town, ranked number 1, and had the combination of Ron Van Der Kellen to Pat Richter, Woody put Warfield on the All American receiver, Reichter. Paul shut him down the whole game.

. warfield was a hb, right?

Woody moved him around from halfback to flanker. Wisconsin came to town ranked #1 with a top rated, All American passing combo of Ron Van Der Kellen to Pat Reichter (sp) ((rik ter)). Woody put Warfield one-on-one on Reichter. Shut the man down and the Bucks cruised to a big victory.
