DALLAS (FWAA) – With their 9-6 win over No. 9 Nebraska, the
Texas A&M Aggies (8-3) are the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl National
Team of the Week for games of the weekend of Nov. 20.
Cyrus
Gray ran for 137 yards in his fifth straight 100-yard game and
Randy Bullock's third field goal with 3:02 left in the game
provided the margin of victory for the Aggies. Gray also added a
career-high 65 receiving yards.
Gray became the first Texas A&M running back to string
together five straight 100-yard games since 1990 as the Aggies
have won eight regular-season games for the first time since
2006. Their five-game conference winning streak is the school's
longest since 1996.
"The consequences of winning are the expectations get
higher," head coach Mike Sherman said after the game. "We jumped
over another hurdle and have taken another step. We still have
another step to take."
Other Tostitos Fiesta Bowl National Team of the Week nominees
for the weekend of Nov. 20 included:
• Ohio State (10-1): The Buckeyes kept their Rose
Bowl hopes alive when Dan Herron ran for a 1-yard touchdown
with 1:47 left as Ohio State rallied to beat No. 21 Iowa,
20-17, in Iowa City.
The Football Writers Association of America has named
a national team of the week since the 2002 season. This is the seventh
season that the award has been sponsored by the Tostitos Fiesta
Bowl.
Members of the FWAA All-America Committee decide the weekly honor.
Each remaining Monday during the 2010 college football regular season,
the FWAA will name the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl National Team of the
Week.
Founded in 1971, the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl has hosted six
games that have decided the college football national championship,
including three Bowl Championship Series title games. This season,
the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl will host the Tostitos BCS National
Championship Game on Jan. 10, 2011 at University of Phoenix
Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. The Tostitos Fiesta Bowl will be played
on Jan. 1, 2011 in Glendale and the Insight Bowl will be played
