    Ryan Wins...Wake Loses...Davis Wants Do Over


    * The final college quarterback award is out and the winner is Boston College's Matt Ryan. It was announced that Ryan won the Manning Award, given to college football’s top quarterback.

    The Manning Award was created by the Sugar Bowl to honor the accomplishments of Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning. It is the only quarterback award that considers the candidates’ bowl performance. The award is voted on by a panel of local and national media, as well as each of the Mannings. Florida’s Tim Tebow finished second.

    Ryan completed 59 percent of his passes for 4,507 yards with 31 touchdowns. He led the Eagles to an 11-3 record.

    * Wake Forest will be looking for a new defensive coordinator. Dean Hood, the defensive coordinator at Wake Forest for the past seven seasons, was named head football coach at Eastern Kentucky on Tuesday. Under Hood, the Deacons led the nation in defensive touchdowns in 2007 with eight.

    * After announcing that he would leave Clemson for the NFL draft, running back James Davis decided there's more to gain remaining at Clemson than entering the NFL Draft a year early.

    "I think it definitely makes me a better prospect for next year, I'd definitely go higher in the draft" he said Tuesday, his first day back after deciding he'd made a hasty decision.

    Davis is one-half of the "Thunder and Lightning" running duo with C.J. Spiller.
