Conerly trophy
- Thread starter msstate7
- Start date
At this point, this is the easiest choice in the history of the award. That may change by December.
J. Lewis could get in the discussion now that he's healthy. You didn't mention smith (3 time sec dpow)
I see your 4 and raise you a 5th.
How do you leave out Preston Smith from that group after 3 straight SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week awards?
As evidenced by the results 2 years ago, it matters not who deserves it. The voters are going to pick based on the winner of the Egg Bowl.
Would the trophy lose what credibility it has left if Dak wins heisman, but loses conerly?
There are 5 Bulldogs and 5 Rebels on ESPN's mid-season 1st team All-SEC team. So that's 10 players right there that have a legitimate claim to be deserving of being a finalist for the Conerly in most seasons. You know Dak will be there. The other 2 are a crapshoot among the other 9 players.
Yes, unless they give it jointly to Dak and <insert name>. (JRob, Lewis, Bear, Smith) I did not list any other contenders because it Dak wins the heisman, odds are we won the SEC and made the playoffs. Those other guys would then have amazing stats/years as well.
WELLS - Other than Dak, I think he is the most irreplaceable piece on the team
He is everywhere
He is everywhere
As biased as media in MS towards scUM is, Wallace will win it. It's named after an scUM player after all. Unless he starts throwing interceptions. Weird if Dak could win Heisman best college player in country but lose Conerly, not best player in MS
