NEW ORLEANS - Fresno State senior quarterback Jake Haener has been named a Manning Award Star of the Week, the Manning Award (sponsored by the Allstate Sugar Bowl), announced on Monday morning. Haener was one of eight quarterbacks honored this week.
College football fans can now go to the Allstate Sugar Bowl Facebook page to vote for what they think was the best performance from this past weekend. When voting closes on Thursday at 11 a.m. (Central), the top vote-getter will be announced as the Manning Award Quarterback of the Week. Voting takes place here.
Haener, in his return from injury, played in his first game since Sept. 17 last weekend and led Fresno State to a comeback victory over San Diego State in a pivotal Mountain West divisional matchup last Saturday night.
The senior QB passed for 394 yards, completing 34-of-45 pass attempts and throwing three touchdowns with a successful 2-point conversion pass attempt.
The Danville, Calif. native led Fresno State to scoring 15 points in just 13 seconds of game time, stunning the San Diego State defense as time expired in the Battle for the Old Oil Can.
The Manning Award was created by the Allstate Sugar Bowl in 2004 to honor the college football accomplishments of Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning. It is the only quarterback award that includes the candidates' bowl performances in its balloting. Since the Manning Award started recognizing Stars of the Week in 2011, 464 different quarterbacks from 129 schools have been recognized. Sixty-seven players from 66 different schools were honored during the 2021 season.
This week's eight Manning Award Stars of the Week are:
Taylen Green, Boise State (24-of-30, 305 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INT, QBR: 90.8)
Green, who also runs for a touchdown, sets career-bests for passing yards and completions as he leads the Broncos to a 49-10 Mountain West win over Colorado State.
Jake Haener, Fresno State (34-of-45, 394 yards, 3 TDs, 2 INT, QBR: 59.9)
Haener directs the Bulldogs to a pair of touchdowns in the final 1:09 of the game, including throwing a 37-yard TD pass with 56 seconds to go, as Fresno State shocks San Diego State, 32-28, in a Mountain West showdown.
Hendon Hooker, Tennessee (19-of-25, 245 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INT, QBR: 89.9)
Hooker, who also runs for a touchdown, gets things rolling early with a 55-yard TD pass 1:27 into the game as he leads the Volunteers to an impressive 44-6 SEC victory over No. 19 Kentucky.
Will Howard, Kansas State (21-of-37, 296 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INT, QBR: 92.1)
Howard, who makes his first start of the season, matches the school-record for TD passes as he leads the Wildcats to 495 yards of offense in a dominant 48-0 Big 12 win over No. 9 Oklahoma State.
Drake Maye, North Carolina (34-of-44, 388 yards, 5 TDs, 0 INT, QBR: 93.4)
Maye, who also runs for 61 yards, directs the Tar Heels to 28 unanswered points after they were down 24-14 in the third quarter in a 42-24 ACC win over Pittsburgh.
Chris Reynolds, Charlotte (16-of-19, 254 yards, 5 TDs, 0 INT, QBR: 94.3)
Reynolds matched his career-best for passing touchdowns while leading the 49ers to 514 yards and its most points ever in a Conference USA game in a 56-23 road victory over Rice.
Jordan Travis, Florida State (24-of-38, 396 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INT, QBR: 90.4)
Travis tallies his career-high for passing yards while matching his best for passing TDs as the Seminoles roll to a 41-16 ACC win over Georgia Tech.
Caleb Williams, USC (31-of-45, 411 yards, 5 TDs, 0 INT, QBR: 85.2)
Williams doesn't miss a beat with two of his top receivers out as he tallies a career-high for passing yards while leading the Trojans to a 45-27 Pac-12 road win over Arizona.
