VOTE FOR JAKE!
ABILENE, Texas - Out of all the quarterbacks
Jake Mullin would have to face this year, he probably didn't think he'd be up against Texas A&M's Ryan Tannehill. But as of Sunday he is, at least for a fan-based voting contest called the All-Star Football Challenge, which allows fans to vote on Facebook for the college football week's top performances.
Jake Mullin helped McMurry University to an NCAA Division III record 848 yards of total offense in a 60-16 win over Texas Lutheran by passing for 614 yards and four touchdowns without an interception. He completed 43 of 57 passes in the victory.
Tannehill helped the Aggies defeat Baylor 55-28 and passed for 415 yards and six touchdowns.
Voting takes place on
facebook.com/allstarfootball, and ovtes close Sunday at 9 a.m.
The All Star Football Challenge Performance of the Year is part of a four-month competition that lets fans determine which individual performances reign supreme during the 2011 college football season. The winners will be revealed during the two hour All-Star Football Challenge special airing at 7 p.m. ET Feb. 3 on ESPN2. In addition to recognizing the season's top performances, the All-Star Football Challenge will feature college football's biggest stars in a live skills challenge.
