SEATTLE (AP) — Inside the ballroom of a swanky downtown Seattle athletic club another small piece to the legacy of Pac-12 football ended Thursday.
The Morris Trophy was never a name-brand award handed out following the college football season in part because it honored offensive and defensive linemen, players who sometimes don't get the recognition they deserve. But it was special on the West Coast and special to the Pac-10 or Pac-12.
Every year since 1980 it's been awarded, and perhaps most notably was voted on by the players themselves. Coaches, media had no influence in the final decision.
It was players honoring players.
