i wouldnt get too caught up in that stuff. Ressel for Mu is the most accurate and arguably the best kicker in the country and he isn’t even in the top 10 or the highest ranked PK on the list.
You know that Henery is solid, so who really cares. I have watched MU players that are better players and have better stats get over looked for national awards for what ever reason. Right or wrong, doesnt mean they mean any less to my team just because some ding-dong doesnt pay attention
Even though he started to make a statement midway through the season and finished strong, Danario Alexander comes to mind. He is without a doubt a Top 3 WR in the country, yet he's not up for any awards that I'm aware of. But I'm sure he'll make some NFL team pretty happy next year.
Yeah, you hit the nail on the head with that one. Alexander is #1 in the country in yds per game, #2 in rec, #1 in rec yards & #4 in Tds. He has three 200 yrd + rec games in conference this year. The big 12 now has 6 total in the history of the conference. He was won multiple Big 12 player of the week honors, first ever big 12 WR to win more than one in a single year. However he wasnt even listed as one of the 10 simi-finalist for WR of the year on the ballot 2 weeks ago.
And you are right, he has really turned it up the last month, but he has been pretty good all year. 132 against Ill, 170 against Nevada, 180 against OSU, 123 vs. CU all before the last 4 games. And unlike some others, the majority of his yrds are against confernce teams. He has 78 recs, 1240 yards and 9 tds just in conference. Thats 15 recs, nearly 600 more yrds and 1 td more than Shiply in big 12 play, who by the way is considered the favorite for the award.
He may not win the Biletnikoff award, but he will go down in the MU history books erasing Maclin from every single season record there is. The only thing about Alexander that disapoints me is the fact that he couldnt stay healthy the last two years.
Not trying to hi-jack the thread.... I know you guys could probably name a handful of Huskers who have gotten the shaft. I know that I could name a few more Tigers. But as I said above, I know how good he is. I know that he has cleared 170+ each of the last 4 games while seeing double and triple teams the whole game. I also know he will always be loved by MU fans regardless what some voter on the east coast marks on a ballot.
