The Davey O'Brien Award was established in 1981 in honor of former Texas Christian University quarterback Davey O'Brien. In one of the best seasons ever by a college player, O'Brien took home the Heisman, Maxwell and Walter Camp awards in 1938, becoming the first player ever to do so.
SB Nation's 2011 college football awards stream will have the winners of each college football award, because it's a college football awards stream.
