NEW ORLEANS - Boise State redshirt junior quarterback Grant Hedrick has been named one of eight "Stars of the Week" by the Manning Award, the award committee announced Monday.
The Manning Award, sponsored by the Allstate Sugar Bowl, will select its Manning Award Player of the Week from this group via a fan vote.
Fans can vote HERE, and voting end Thursday at 10 a.m. (MT).
In just his second-career start, Hedrick accounted for each of Boise State's six touchdowns, leading the Broncos to a 42-30 victory.
Hedrick threw five touchdown passes, tied for the second-most in school history, and added a rushing score. His six touchdowns are the most by a Bronco quarterback since Ryan Diniwddie also accounted for six against Nevada, Nov. 29, 2003. Dinwiddie threw four touchdowns and rushed for two scores nearly a decade ago.
Hedrick completed 19-of-27 passes for 305 yards, his first-career 300-yard performance. In addition to the five touchdown passes, he did not throw an interception.
He threw touchdown passes to four different receivers, including a 68-yarder to sophomore Shane Williams-Rhodes - the longest pass play for Boise State since Kellen Moore hit Doug Martin for a 71-yarder against Toledo, Sept. 16, 2011.
The rushing score was his sixth of the season, the most by a Bronco quarterback since Jared Zabransky also had six in 2006.
