IRVING, Texas (AP) Tulane running back Tyjae Spears was chosen as the offensive player of the year in the American Athletic Conference on Wednesday, with Green Wave coach Willie Fritz also taking a top honor. The American awards were determined by the vote of the league's 11 coaches, who unanimously chose Fritz as coach of the year after the 18th-ranked Green Wave (10-2) went from a 2-10 record last season to their first 10-win season and first Top-25 ranking since 1998. Tulane is the host team for Saturday's conference championship game against No. 22 UCF (9-3).
