The long football drought is officially over. Here's our first round of individual awards after the opening weekend of action:
Christian McCaffrey, Stanford: McCaffrey finished with an impressive final line — 126 rushing yards, 40 receiving yards, over 200 all-purpose yards, and two touchdowns — but a 97-yard punt return touchdown called back by penalty was the most memorable moment from Friday night's win over Kansas State.
“That was the best punt return that I’ve ever seen that didn’t count,” Stanford coach David Shaw joked afterward.
John Ross III, Washington: Sports have the power to give us storybook moments, and one of those unfolded Saturday at Husky Stadium.
