It's shared with Southern Miss QB Nick Mullens, but when you look at the fact that Byrd has the most yards of any Running Back in CUSA, I think he should have been the sole award recipient.

Mike Marshall became the first player to block two punts in school history. North Texas leads the nation in punts blocked, BTW.

When a QB throws for 370yds & 6 TD's (5 passing) AND his team got their first win in 2 years, I think he deserves the nod. Even with Byrd's dominating day, I didn't think he would get it over Mullens, so sharing with him is a good thing!

Unsung hero, we definitely didn't give Marshall the attention he deserved. Great game Mike! Great game Brandin!

The opponent was UAB, who is one of the worst teams out there. Their best games defensively were against FIU & MTSU where they only allowed 24 points. They have allowed on average 44 points a game.

CUSA needs a Top 25 ranked USM football program again and North Texas needs to copy that to the tee.

GMG!

PS: Congrats Brandin and Mike!

Well, we did play Tulsa who isn't lighting the world on fire.

I think Tulsa would whip UAB, but I think they gave Mullens the award not only for his numbers, but for the fact that his team actually won a game.
