ATLANTA, Nov. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Four nominees for the AT&T
All-America Player of the Week award have been announced after the eleventh

rules the gridiron.

Based on outstanding performances over the weekend, University of North
Carolina cornerback Kendric Burney, University of Arkansas quarterback Ryan
Mallett, University of Mississippi running back Dexter McCluster and Boise
State University wide receiver Austin Pettis have been selected by a panel of
analysts from ESPN as this week's top candidates. Fans can text message** VOTE

Burney had three interceptions, including one for a touchdown, in the Tar
Heels' upset over No. 14 Miami (Fla.). Mallett went 23-30 with 405 passing
yards, breaking Arkansas' single-season passing record and five touchdowns in
the Razorbacks' victory over Troy. McCluster rushed for 282 yards, breaking
Ole Miss' single-game rushing record and had four touchdowns in the Rebels'
win over Tennessee. Pettis had eight receptions for 123 yards and tied a
school record with four touchdowns in the Broncos' victory over Idaho.

"AT&T is excited to see who the fans will choose this week as the AT&T
All-America Player of the Week," said Tim McGhee, executive director, AT&T
corporate sponsorships. "Each player had an outstanding game, but the fans
will be the ones deciding who is crowned the best."

Fans have until 11:59 p.m. ET on Wednesday to submit their votes. The winner
will be announced during Thursday's ESPN College Football Primetime Presented
by Applebee's. Standard text messaging rates apply.
