Some younger Trojans took advantage of their final opportunity of the season...
Heisman Worthy
Pete Carroll, Head Coach, Seahawks - Won the NFC West
At USC, Carroll had teams that finished the college football regular season 10-2, 11-1, 10-2, 10-2 and 11-1 that could not play for the BCS title. But in his first year in Seattle, he'll have a shot at NFL supremacy despite a 7-9 record. Nevertheless, he did a wonderful job last night rallying the Seahawks after some blowout losses to control the winner-take-all showdown with the St. Louis Rams.
All-American Caliber
Joe McKnight, RB, Jets - First NFL start: 32 carries for 158 yards, 2 catches for 15 yards and a 25-yard punt return in a win
Troy Polamalu, DB, Steelers - Picked off his 7th interception of the season
Clay Matthews, LB, Packers - Finished 3rd in the NFL after tallying his 14th sack of the year
Fred Davis, TE, Redskins - Finished the season with TD catches in back-to-back games
Mike Williams, WR, Seahawks - Scored the only TD in a 16-6 playoff-clinching victory
In the NBA
DeMar DeRozan, SG, Raptors - Breakout season continued with 37 points at Houston and 27 vs. Boston
