Abbe and Sarge. Our D-line was great this year. Their pressure was relentless. Not to mention Sarge had 5 sacks, and Abbe had 3...as a DT.

Byrd should get a look at RB. 3rd in the C-USA in rushing yards...over 1,000 yards with a 5.6 avg. He also added 11 TDs and a conference-long 91-yard rushing TD.

Darnell Smith should get some consideration for 2nd or 3rd team WR. He finished 6th in C-USA in receiving yds. Had 65 catches for 716 yards...2 yards behind Brelan for the team lead, with 18 more receptions. Only having 3 TDs will hurt his cause though.

Unfortunately I don't think Macek or Paul get any looks this season for STs.

With a 14 team league and several schools with better and equal records, I doubt that anyone from NT is a sure thing for the first team. Best chances, Chancellor, Y'Barbo and Orr. Others that get a second or third team nod, Abbe, Buyers, Trice, Lee, Lemon and Bellazin.

This

It's a big league , several deserving players will get left off.

Buyers was the biggest surprise to me this season, that kid is fast to the ball and knows how to tackle.

He probably deserves his own thread...

The addition of buyers and James Jones to the starting lineup is one of the biggest reasons for the teams success. hard coaching decision to bench a senior and a previous conference team selection. Props for making that call. Second half of ball state they took over full time and the defense has been solid ever since.

Still, he's considered the best player on the best defense in the conference. Who would be a threat to beat him?

I hate to burst your bubble but Shawn Johnson of Tulsa should be a shoo-in for Defensive Player of the Year. He leads Zach in tackles, interceptions, tackles for loss, sacks and passes defended.

Orr should absolutely be a first team all-conference linebacker but unless Johnson is railroaded for playing on a losing team he deserves the honor.

      Parking

      I missed the creation of the Brown lot. Is this the first year of it's existence? One of our crew went early enough to be first to park in that lot Saturday. He was just carrying a plastic grocery bag of snacks so it worked well for him, priced $15. GMG

      The Black Lot was easy-peasy. Up your game.

      McGill scored in the 2nd Quarter.

      The McGill non-TD was 50/50. With my green glasses on, the ball broke the goal line more or less as his knee hit. The problem was that they didn’t call it a TD and therefore harder to call the TD on replay when that close. The real problem is our inability to get TDs when in the redzone, particularly short yardage. Can’t run for one yard and it’s pathetic. Should never need to pass from the one yard line and if we do it should be some kind of play action misdirection to a block and release TE. The play calling in general was terrible this game. The decision making (on sides kick) was even worse. On a related note, the non-fumble and the PI call were ridiculous. I can sort-of, kind-of see the PI call because it was a bang bang play and refs are human, but the fumble was a fumble and they got it wrong live and on replay. The AD needs to file a protest to the league. That ref should be suspended.

      McGill scored in the 2nd Quarter.

      So was the radio play-by-play. Wish there was a video replay for me to see this. I also wish there was better checks-and-balances. In the NFL, can't a team submit a replay of a call to the NFL office for review, even if it doesn't mean a change in the final score? At least there would be some transparency and accountability. Based on the radio play by play, you would think that giving McGill the TD was a no-brainer, and the game might have ended up very differently. An option offense playing from behind is very different from one playing to keep a lead.. (granted, it was still early in our game)

      No moral victories

      We knew this 3-game stretch of Memphis, Tulane and Army would be tough. We lost by 8, 8 and 11 points. We are another year away (with better players and coaches).
