Steelman finishes his college career without ever having beaten Navy, and with sour memories of his final play as a Black Knight.

Happy trails, TRENT STEELMAN.

• Assorted trophy happenings. Read Andy Staples' anecdote of the Manziel family's adventures in trademarking ... Manti Te'o garnered more Heisman points than any other purely defensive player in the history of the award ... Te'o added the Lott Trophy to his hardware haul.

• Quote of the day, Heisman edition. From Johnny Manziel's acceptance speech on Saturday night: "To Grandpa ... you inspired me to play football. Grandma, I'm sorry for all the things we broke in the house."

• Roster blotters. Three Oregon State players were arrested over the weekend on assault and disorderly conduct charges.

• Tweet of the day, silly season edition. Where's the craftsmanship with kids these days?

• Tweet of the day, silly postseason edition. Seems legit:
