Notre Dame's Manti Te'o wins Maxwell Award
Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o has won the Maxwell Award, given to the nation's most outstanding player, as Wisconsin's Montee Ball got a national nod as the outstanding running back.
Manziel's dominance against SEC competition, most notably the Alabama Crimson Tide, will resonate with the Heisman voters over the next week and ultimately give him the edge over Notre Dame Fighting Irish linebacker Manti Te'o, who has made a tremendous case for the award himself.
