Colt McCoy was named the All-America Team's player of the year. Additionally, Boston College linebacker Mark Herzlich was presented with the Disney Spirit Award, LaVell Edwards received the NCFAA Contributions to College Football Award (which led to his wife flashing a fresh black eye at the camera; long story) and Cincinnati-to-Notre-Dame's Brian Kelly took home the Coach of the Year Award via satellite, in a hilariously cringing exchange with national treasure Chris Fowler.
