Shane Morris has earned national recognition for his performance at Kansas on Saturday.
The graduate transfer quarterback was selected as the Mid-American Conference West Division Player of the Week on Monday. Morris was also named a finalist for this week's Manning Award, which is given to the top quarterback performance.
The 6-foot-3, 210-pound Morris completed 28-of-37 passes for five touchdowns in the Chippewas' 45-27 win at Kansas. His 467 yards passing were the third-highest in program history.
Morris is one of eight finalist for the Manning Award, which is voted on by the fans and announced Thursday at 11 a.
