I might be a "homer", and I MIGHT have voted for mostly NT players. but I was amazed to see that votes were cast for best running back for RB's other than JT. I only voted for our players when they were the best or I was not aware who was the best. who in the sunbelt isnt aware of JT? its homerism and I am not going to take it.

Man, I voted for probably 7 or 8 non NT players but it would have been 1 less if Phillips had been on the ballot in the QB spot instead of Meager. Phillips > Babb > Meager

Yes, I'm very surprised about the votes on running back. It's hard to argue against JT.

Three factors:

1. JT didn't run much last fall and had a few injuries to boot.

2. NT's OL wasn't as good as it has previously been.

3. Might be skewed based on voter's favorite schools and how many votes are from that school.

Cattouse is actually listed as Troy's 4th string running back. A converted wide receiver (Josh Allen) is listed as first string. Sean Dawkins, last year's full back, will probably get most of the carries. RB in our new chuck and duck needs to be able to protect the QB first, catch second, and run third. Kenny has all that kind of backwards. He's a good back with some nice speed and did well in the spring game, but he has had trouble picking up the blitz and his hands are not the best.

I apologize for the Troy homers for voting for "The Moose". But then again, maybe he'll be a pleasant surprise and have the breakout year we've been hoping he'd have since he was a freshman.

Again MT folks, why no kick/punt returner spot on the poll? Could you UNT fans bring yourself not to vote for Quin and put the votes to Leodis (from Troy) or someone else?

Oh yeah, and on the QB front... just wait til you get a load of Omar. Maybe not this year... but next year... oh boy.

I didn't vote for Meager. Happy, Trojanman?

I voted for Babb at QB. Considering he had to learn on the fly a new offense and then seeing what he did with it was amazing. He was by far the most impressive QB last year and he will take up where he left off this season.
