Now second in the nation in receiving yards per game, James Washington was one of 10 players named a semifinalist for the Biletnikoff Award, given to the nation's outstanding receiver.

It's the second consecutive season Washington has been named a semifinalist. This year, he might be the favorite to win it.

The senior has caught 53 passes for 1,158 yards and nine touchdowns in 10 games.

Only Michael Gallup from Colorado State, another finalist, averages more yards per game.

Washington had his quietest game of the season in Saturday's 49-42 win over Iowa State, catching just one pass for 25 yards.
