Andrew Luck Wins Walter Camp Award As Player Of The Year
PALO ALTO (CBS/AP) - Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck has won the Walter Camp Foundation's award as college football's player of the year.
The award, in its 45th year, is voted on by the nation's 120 Football Bowl Subdivision head coaches and sports information directors.
Luck threw for 3,170 yards and a school-record 35 touchdowns as a senior, leading No. 4 Stanford to an 11-1 record and a bid to play No. 3 Oklahoma State in the Fiesta Bowl.
He beat out Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III, Houston quarterback Case Keenum, Alabama running back Trent Richardson and LSU defensive back Tyrann Mathieu.
Luck joins former Cardinal quarterback Jim Plunkett as the only Stanford players to win the Walter Camp award.
