Washington’s Jake Browning and Washington State’s Luke Falk have been named to the Manning Award watch list. The two Pac-12 stars join 28 other QB’s on the list announced Wednesday.  The Manning Award goes to the top quarterback in college football.

Browning and Falk are part of a group of seven players on this years list, that were finalists last year. That group also includes USC’s Sam Darnold, Ohio State’s J.T. Barrett, Alabama’s Jalen Hurts and Baker Mayfield of Oklahoma.

The award was created by the Allstate Sugar Bowl in honor of the college football accomplishments of Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning. The winner will be selected by a voting panel, including national media and each of the Mannings, after the bowl games.
