Briscoe and Gubrud are quarterbacks, while Kupp, last years Payton recipient, is a wide receiver.Briscoe, a 6-foot-3, 220-pound redshirt junior from Houston, has led Sam Houston State to the No. 1 ranking in the STATS FCS Top 25, the Southland Conference title and the No. 5 seed in the FCS playoffs. The Bearkats have the nations top-ranked offense and his 52 touchdown passes are a Southland record and four shy of the FCS single-season record. The Southland player of the year has produced the top four single-game touchdown performances in Sam Houston history, including seven scoring passes against both Stephen F. Austin and Central Arkansas. In addition to leading the FCS in TD passes, he ranked No. 1 in passing yards (4,096), passing yards per game (372.4), passing efficiency (187.0), points responsible for (318) and points responsible for per game (28.9) during the regular season. He threw only seven interceptions.I have a really strong belief in Jeremiahs talent, coach K.C. Keeler said, but maybe I have a stronger belief in his leadership skills.Gubrud and Kupp are the first pair of teammates to share the Big Sky Conferences offensive player of the year award and have helped third-ranked Eastern Washington to a share of the conference title and the No. 2 seed in the playoffs.Gubrud, a 6-2, 195-pound redshirt sophomore from McMinnville, Oregon, opened the season against Washington State with a school-record 551 total offensive yards in his first career start, and later set the Eagles single-game standard for passing yards with 520 against Montana State. He is on pace to set the Big Sky record for total offensive yards per game (his average is a national-best 412.2) and ranked second in the FCS in completions (300), passing yards (4,071), passing yards per game (370.1), touchdown passes (40), points responsible for (266) and points responsible for per game (24.2) during the regular season. He went 222 straight passes without an interception, and led the Eagles with 463 rushing yards, scoring four times.Kupp, a 6-2, 215-pound redshirt senior from Yakima, Washington, is enjoying his fourth straigght monster season.dddddddddddd In the regular season, he had 91 receptions for 1,297 yards and 12 touchdowns, ranking first in receiving yards per game (129.7) and second in receptions, receptions per game (9.1) and receiving yards. He rushed for a touchdown, passed for two and scored on a punt return. The NFL prospect owns 13 FCS, 10 Big Sky and 22 school records, led by the career triumvirate of 402 receptions, 6,061 receiving yards and 68 touchdowns receptions -- each a FCS and Division I record. Hes also caught a pass in 49 straight games, tying the FCS mark. With a repeat of the Payton Award, Kupp would become the second two-time winner with former Appalachian State quarterback Armanti Edwards in 2008 and 09.When you take a look at their seasons, Gage has had an outstanding debut year, and then Coopers body of work is off the charts, coach Beau Baldwin said. Its very deserving in terms of how teams have to prepare going against Gage and Cooper and what they bring to the table offensively. They just happen to be on the same team. With the work each of them has done individually, their accomplishments on paper statistically and the wins theyve helped produce for our team, I think its very deserving they are two of the three finalists. Its quite an honor.The Walter Payton Award voting reflected the regular season and was conducted before the start of the FCS playoffs.The results for fourth through 25th place were as follows:---=4.
