The Manning Award, sponsored by the Allstate Sugar Bowl, has named eight quarterbacks as its "Stars of the Week." College football fans can follow the Manning Award on social media (@ManningAward) to vote for what they think was the best performance from this past weekend. After voting closes on Wednesday at 9 a.m. (Central), the top vote-getter will be announced as the Manning Award Quarterback of the Week.
This week's eight Manning Award Stars of the Week are:
Bryson Daily, Army (5-of-5, 250 total yards, 4 TDs, 0 INT, QBR: 99.2)
Daily, who ran for 110 yards and two touchdowns while passing for 140 yards and two more scores, leads the undefeated Black Knights to a 49-7 AAC road win over Tulsa as they reach 5-0 for the first time since 1996.
Eli Holstein, Pittsburgh (25-of-42, 457 total yards, 4 TDs, 1 INT, QBR: 68.6)
Holstein, who is the first Pitt quarterback to win his first five starts since Dan Marino in 1979, connected on three touchdown passes for the fifth straight game while setting a career-best for passing yards (381) in a 34-24 ACC road win over North Carolina.
Will Howard, Ohio State (21-of-25, 237 total yards, 5 TDs, 1 INT, QBR: 84.3)
Howard, who connected on a 54-yard pass to open the second half, led the Buckeyes to three third-quarter touchdowns as they broke open a tight game against the tough Iowa defense in a 35-7 Big Ten victory over the Hawkeyes.
Tyler Huff, Jacksonville State (16-of-25, 369 total yards, 3 TDs, 0 INT, QBR: 86.4)
Huff, who ran for a career-best 176 yards and three touchdowns, led the Gamecocks to scores on all five of their second-half possessions as they broke open a tight game in a 63-24 CUSA road win over Kennesaw State.
Kevin Jennings, SMU (21-of-27, 394 total yards, 1 TD, 0 INT, QBR: 95.8)
Jennings, who turned in season-bests in completions, attempts and passing yards (281), also rushed for a career-best 113 yards on 10 carries as he led the Mustangs to a 34-27 road win over No. 22 Louisville.
Kyle McCord, Syracuse (40-of-63, 377 total yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT, QBR: 84.3)
McCord, who tallied his fifth straight 300-yard game to open the season, directed an 11-play, 75-yard drive capped by a six-yard TD pass with 23 seconds left to force overtime as the Orange defeated UNLV, 44-41, on the road.
Diego Pavia, Vanderbilt (16-of-20, 308 total yards, 2 TDs, 0 INT, QBR: 95.9)
Pavia turned in a near-flawless performance as he keyed the Commodore offense in a shocking 40-25 victory over No. 1 Alabama – Vanderbilt's first-ever victory over a top-5 ranked team (after 60 straight losses) and its first victory over the Tide in 40 years.
Cam Ward, Miami (35-of-53, 452 total yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT, QBR: 81.7)
Ward, who threw for a season-best 437 yards, had a huge fourth quarter with a rushing touchdown and a pair of passing TDs, including the game-winning pass with 26 seconds to go as the Hurricanes erased a 20-point fourth-quarter deficit in a wild 39-38 ACC road win over Cal.
