PR Newswire (US)
ATLANTA, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- The votes have been counted and
college football fans nationwide have selected University of
Michigan wide receiver Mario Manningham as the week three Cingular
All-America Player of the Week, the only major college football
award chosen exclusively by the fans. Manningham claimed the honor
after hauling in three touchdown receptions in the Wolverines'
47-21 victory at second-ranked Notre Dame last Saturday.
Manningham, who had 137 receiving yards in the game, helped
Michigan score the most points against the Fighting Irish on its
home field in 46 years. He is the first Wolverine player to win the
award since running back Mike Hart was selected during week seven
of the 2004 season. Manningham received 43% of the votes to beat
out Florida quarterback Chris Leak (27%), Southern California
quarterback John David Booty (19%) and Oregon wide receiver Jaison
Williams (11%). Each player was nominated for this week's award by
a panel of ESPN college football analysts based on their
outstanding performances last weekend. Manningham, a first-time
winner of the Cingular All-America Player of the Week, joins
Rutgers running back Ray Rice and Notre Dame quarterback Brady
Quinn on this year's winner's list. Fans can register to vote for
the Cingular All-America Player of the Week throughout the season
by text messaging "VOTE" to "87654" on their wireless phone, with
the nominees being revealed each Sunday on the 9 a.m. ESPN
SportsCenter and on the Web at http://www.espnallamerica.com/. Fans
have until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the following Wednesday to
submit their votes. The winner will then be announced during ESPN's
Thursday night college football game. Fans can vote as many times
as they like, with each vote counting as one entry into a
sweepstakes to win a trip to the 2007 BCS National Championship
game. Cingular customers can visit Cingular's NCAA(R) Football
Portal on their wireless handset to view video highlights of each
week's candidates, retrieve photos, check scoreboards, track their
favorite teams, and download school ringtones. In December, four
finalists for the Cingular All-America Player of the Year award
will be announced during a one-hour special on ABC Sports. Fans
will then get a chance to say who the best player in the nation is
by voting for the Cingular All-America Player of the Year up until
the Bowl Championship Series. The selection process will culminate
during the BCS National Championship game on FOX when the Cingular
All-America Player of the Year will be presented. Last year, Texas
quarterback Vince Young was crowned as the Cingular All- America
Player of the Year, beating out Southern California teammates
Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart and Notre Dame quarterback Brady
Quinn. Young was the second Longhorn to claim the award, after
running back Cedric Benson won the inaugural honor in 2004. ABOUT
