Finished 32 points behind Montana State's Caleb Schreibeis. Meh.

Kimbrough has been a warrior. APP will really know he isn't playing in the middle come September. He is the end of a nice line of All Americans at LB for a while. Hope SS signs the likes of one of our traditional AA shortly.

I truly believe John Law is next in that line. I'm aware that Bleacher Report is not the most credible source, but I believe the article below is accurate and gives us an idea of what we can expect from him next season and years to come.

Price finishing 3rd after breaking so many long standing freshmen WR records just shows how hard it is for someone other than a QB to win these types of awards. No discredit to the winner but that's just the way it is.

We'll see who goes on to have a bigger career.

Congrats to both Kimbrough and Price!

Seems hard for SoCon folks in general to win unless they put up ridiculous numbers - Breitenstein finished 3rd in Payton behind Stony Brook QB and ODU QB. I remember Lynch losing Buchanan to Kroy Beirman and heard it was because a lot of the SoCon voters didn't turn in ballots.

The only times the SoCon seems to break through is when you have transcendent players like Armanti, AP, or Dexter...Louis Ivory really being the only "one year wonder" kind of winner. Unless we can get the rest of the nation to vote for our guy, the Mickey Mouse League isn't going to help pull us through.
