Weeden led the Cowboys to unprecedented success, after they were picked to finish at the bottom of the Big 12 South. The junior signal caller finished the season with 4,037 yards on 32 touchdowns breaking five single-season school records in the process.

The Manning Award first awarded in 2004 and named to honor the success of quarterbacks Archie, Petyon and Eli Manning.
