Utah Utes football: Johnson, Sakoda, Whittingham headline All-MWC honors

The best quarterback in the conference has finally been named!

Always next year Maxie.

Bryan over Hall?? that's a joke. if the byu utah game had been any other game except the last game of the season Hall would have, and should have, won

Paging Max Hall..Paging Max Hall...please come to the Quest for Perfection room to see Brian Johnson pick up the MWC Offense Player of the Year award.

I can't really argue with that list. They should just give a group WR award to Brown, Casteel, Godfrey, Reed, Wesson, and Brooks. Those six were amazing for Utah this year, and each would have been capable of putting up big numbers had they been a lone receiver. They shared the ball well without complaining, putting team ahead of individual glory.

he will get his personal vindetta in the bowl game for sure! the play starts with him so the MVP can be just that! To play that position requires quite a bit of knowledge for sure!

There is no way Brian Johnson was the best player in the MWC this year. Utah is 12-0, so they have to give the award to a Utah player and that player was Brian Johnson. Bad choice by the MWC....

Congrats to BJ, Coach Whit, and King Louie! Very well deserved. Good luck in the BCS Bowl! Also, congrats to Jerry Hughes for DPOY. Hughes is a beast!

What a joke!! Brian Johnson as the offensive player of the year. The guy is lucky he had a great defensive team. They put him in position to put points up all year. If he had to take the team 80 yards, he couldn't do it, except for the three drives this year that saved them from losing several games, when the other teams defense went conservative a let him look great for one drive the whole game. If it was a team award the 12-0 season would justify this selection. Individually, he looked average all year.

Brian Johnson is not the best player in the MWC this year...biased voting because Utah is 12-0.

Austin Collie should have won it. Brian Johnson had an average year but was on a good team. The defense is why Utah went 12-0 not Brian Johnson. If he was that good he wouldn't have even needed to come back in those games on the final drive. He was the reason they needed to come back, because he had sucked all game. The defense kept them in it. Austin Collie #1 or in the top 5 in almost all receiving statistics. This is an individual award not a team award Collie had the better year. Alex Smith proved to be a product of his team as well and was completely overrated because of what the team accomplished.

It's not called joke --it's a choke on Max Hall's part.
He went from "Heisman" hype by BYU to "2nd-team" type...

TO: Where us the Heisman Hype Now: Man, that remark was petty!

I have never met a zoob that agreed with anything but "BYU is the lord's school".

Hey, don't cry over spilled milk. Utah won that last game. Hall did not play well in the 2nd half. Utah is 12-0 and that's about it. The all mtn west conf picks were on the money.

Congratulations Utes!

Thank you Whittingham, Johnson, and Sakoda for your hard work and putting together a great season. You earned it.

Go Utes!

My only question is why Louis Sakoda, one of the best punters and place kickers in the entire nation, was NOT a unanimous selection to the first team.

He's not only the special teams MVP, he should be the Offensive MVP as well.

You jealous zoobies make me laugh.... all the way to the BCS bank!!

It's a choke on Max Hall.

Max choked when played against good teams like Utah and TCU --total of 2 or 3 TD and many INTs on 4 games vs TCU and Utah in 2007 and 2008.

Totally choked!!!

Seriously, are you serious? Brian Johnson over Max Hall for first-team QB? I thought this selection was supposed to honor the best player over the course of the ENTIRE YEAR, not just one game.

Brian Johnson is an average quarterback at best, who had one stellar game all year. Max Hall played superior football ALL YEAR, minus one, maybe two games. What a rediculous pick.

HAHA!!! YOUR QUEST WONT STOP EMBARRASSING YOU!
HOW ABOUT "THE QUEST FOR NOT PLAYING IN VEGAS"??
