FORT WORTH, Texas – The Davey O’Brien Foundation announced today that the Fan Vote for the 2010 Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award® (The O’Brien) is now open. Fans are invited to cast their vote for the nation’s best college quarterback as often as once daily at www.VoteOBrien.org.
“The O’Brien is the only college football award that gives fans the opportunity to play a significant role in the selection process,” said Danielle Moorman, executive director of the Davey O’Brien Foundation. “We have watched the fan participation increase each season and with the quarterback competition this year, we expect the same.”
The 2010 season marks the fourth time in The O’Brien’s history that fans have had a say in the voting. The Fan Vote counts as 5% during each round of the voting process, and it is combined with the results from the O’Brien National Selection Committee, which is comprised of journalists, broadcasters, commentators and former winners. Fan Vote totals are cleared after each voting round.
