B1G Awards Announced Tonight

Smart · 11-28-2011, 04:21 PM

Anybody got any predictions on how our players will do? If I had to guess for the All-B1G teams, i'd go:

1st Team: Russell Wilson, Montee Ball, Kevin Zeitler, Mike Taylor

2nd Team: Peter Konz*, Jacob Pedersen, Ricky Wagner, Chris Borland*, Aaron Henry, Antonio Fenelus*

*I think these guys should really be first team. Konz might not even make second team, because there are two other really good centers (Molk and Brewster) and Konz has missed 2 1/4 games now. Borland will probably be rated below Lavonte David and Taylor (as he should be) and also Hodges from PSU (which he shouldn't be). Fenelus is off on his island, so I doubt he'll get the recognition. Hope I am wrong, though...

The B1G OPY will probably go to Montee Ball, with Russell the only other guy with a fighting chance. Both guys deserve it. On the defensive side, it will probably go to Devon Still from Penn State. In reality, it should go to either Mercilus of Illinois or Lavonte David. I'd put Taylor at #3, but that is probably just the homer in me. Hoke will almost certainly win the Dave McClain COY.

I think Ball and Wilson will be co-offensive POY.
