ATLANTA (AP) — David Shaw of Stanford has won the Dodd Trophy as coach of the year.

No. 15 Stanford finished 9-5 with a 37-35 Alamo Bowl loss to No. 13 TCU on Thursday night. Stanford beat Notre Dame and Washington when each team was ranked in the top 10.

The award honors scholarship, leadership and integrity, as well as success on the field.
