Buchanan Award

I’m waiting to see Jimmy F’n Moreland’s name. Don’t blow it STATS.

[Redbird 4th & short]

Makes zero sense where Christion landed ... just defies all logic. In a relatively weak year at QB position, how is he not top 3 ?????????????

KSU Burks is a nice QB, but his stats are completely padded playing a very weak schedule.

Well now they get a chance to settle on the field this Saturday .. one game for the award ????

First it was “he’s only good because of Goedert and Jake” and now it’s.......well something. I don’t know.

Agreed

That Burks is even top 3 blows my mind .. his pass stats suck (116 attempts, 1000 pass yards total), his run stats are ok (900 yards, 4.8 ypc) ... good for a QB but that is their offense and they played an incredibly weak SOS. Swap teams for Burks and Christion, and Burks is maybe the 5th or 6th best QB in MVFC, if that .. if he even could stay healthy .. I think the ISUb guy is better than Burks, certainly comparable; while Christion would have tore up the Big South and broken records playing in that weak conference. They tarnished the award this year with these selections. The Princeton guy deserves more props than Burks .. he actually threw the ball and ran the ball against similar level competition.

Here is QB BUrks stat line when he finally played a team with a heartbeat on defense, Wofford .. and Kennesaw St won 13-10:

Rushing .. 10 carries for 7 yards
Passing .. 6 of 14 for 79 yards, 0 TDs, 1 Pick

This is a Payton Ward top 3 nominee ??

Can you imagine if he had to play a real FCS schedule ?

Yea, these three picks are interesting, I would have had Christion, Maier (although his stock went down a little bit with me after watching the UNI game) and maybe Stick or Hodges. Sticks numbers don't really merit the award in my opinion, he just wins football games.
