Just trying figure out why he wasn't named Coach of the Year, Offensive Lineman of the Year, etc.........

[CENTEXHUSKER]

Congrats Suh...

[knapplc]

Had we beaten ISU I'll bet Bo would have gotten serious consideration for COY. I wonder how the coaches ranked this year....?

[ctaylor]

think we will have anybody else? im guessing alex henery....?! roy might get second team? along with crick?

[knapplc]

I think O'Hanlon has a strong case for the secondary, at least second team, and I can't imagine how you leave Crick off second team.

 

EDIT - O'Hanlon is second in the conference in INTs. Paul is second in PR yards. Amukamara is 4th (tied) for Passes Defensed.

Special Teams player of the year - Brandon Banks, K-State.

 

Henery had to be close to the top here. Not sure how he couldn't be.

Henery had to be close to the top here. Not sure how he couldn't be.

 

Banks did lead the conference in returns, but Henery is like duct tape. He can be useful is so many ways....

 

Hopfully Henery takes the Groza award
