Award is the only major college football honor determined
exclusively by fan voting ATLANTA, Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Arkansas
running back Darren McFadden turned in the best performance of his
career in the Razorbacks' 26-20 victory over South Carolina last
weekend, and fans have rewarded him for his outstanding play.
McFadden has been selected as the week ten Cingular All-America
Player of the Week, the only major college football award chosen
exclusively by college football fans. McFadden rushed for a
career-high 219 yards, the fourth highest total in school history,
and two touchdowns while averaging nearly nine yards per carry
against the Gamecocks last Saturday. McFadden, who has rushed for
1,038 yards this season, helped the Razorbacks improve to 8-1 and a
perfect 5-0 in the SEC. McFadden received 49% of the votes to win
over Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan (19%), Minnesota quarterback
Bryan Cupito (18%) and Texas Tech wide receiver Joel Filani (14%).
Each player was nominated for this week's award by a panel of ESPN
college football analysts based on their outstanding performances
last weekend. The Cingular All America Player of the Week winner's
list in 2006 includes Rutgers running back Ray Rice, Notre Dame
quarterback Brady Quinn, Michigan wide receiver Mario Manningham,
Georgia Tech wide receiver Calvin Johnson, Tennessee quarterback
Erik Ainge, Texas quarterback Colt McCoy and Brigham Young
quarterback John Beck. 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

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
