and most didn't like my punter:
Danny Baugher (Arizona).. he had a better avg than any guy in this thread !?! 47.5
Click to expand...

He recorded an extra .25 yards per punt more than Plackemeier but has 30 less attempts. In fact, Baugher only had about 65% of his own teams punts.

Baugher may very well deserve a look based on those stats, but anyone that has seen Ryan punt this year knows it doesn't get much better.

FWIW - With one correction I sent in to LJB earlier today here are the votes / categories.

Unlike many of you I did not take a defensive player in the Best All-Around College Player - guess I had the Heisman in my mind -- and therefore thought within that historically offensive oriented box.

The Griffin - for best overall college football player
Reggie Bush,
Vince Young,
Matt Leinart,
Brady Quinn,
Michael Robinson,
Jerome Harrison

The George - for best running back
Reggie Bush,
Jerome Harrison,
DeAngelo Williams,
Brian Calhoun,
Lawrence Maroney,
Antonio Pittman - not a stats / production vote but w/out doubt in my mind the most valuably improved RB, so he gets a nod in the 6 spot.

The Kern-Krenzel - for best quarterback
Matt Leinart,
Brady Quinn,
Vince Young,
Troy Smith,
Michael Robinson,
Brian Brohm

The Boston-Carter Trophy - for best receiver
Jeff Samardzija,
Mike Hass,
Dwayne Jarrett,
Demetrius Williams,
Martin Nance,
Charles Sharon

I was really torn by not finding a spot for Holmes here, really torn.

The Orlando Pace Award - for best offensive lineman
Greg Eslinger,
Marcus McNeill,
Nick Mangold,,
Jonathan Scott,
Matt Lentz,
Eric Winston

The Big Daddy - for best defensive lineman
Haloti Ngata,
Rod Wright,
Jesse Mahelona,
Elvis Dumervil,
Mathias Kiwanuka,
Tamba Hali

The Spielman Trophy - for best linebacker
A. J. Hawk,
Paul Posluszny,
AJ Nicholson,
Bobby Carpenter,
Aaron Harris,
Chad Greenaway

The Assassin Award - for best defensive back
Mike Huff,
Tom Zbikowski,
Nate Salley, (Its the Assasin award and Salley's always been a hitter)
Jimmy Williams,
Tye Hill,
Aaron Gipson

The Nuge - for best kicker
Jad Dean,
Alexis Serna,
Mason Crosby,
Josh Huston,
Brandon Coutu,
Kyle Schlicher

The Skladany - for best punter – this one I just take from the stats.

2 Daniel Sepulveda, Baylor
3 Sam Koch, Nebraska
4 Jim Kaylor, Colorado St.
5 Luke Johnson, Southern Miss.
6 Michael Hughes, San Diego St.

The WW Hayes Memorial Trophy - for best coach

Joe Paterno,
Jim Tressel,
Pete Carroll,
Charlie Weis,
Steve Spurrier

The Griffin - no explanation necessary
The Schlicter/Krenzel-Kern - Young isn't the best prototypical QB, but I thought he was the best player at that position
The George - I'm scared to think how many yds/tds Bush would have had without LenDale White
The Boston-Carter - Samardzija had so many incredible catches and clutch plays.
The Pace-Parker - I didn't really know, so I went with the Big Ten kid.
The Big Daddy - It's hard to get past the numbers that Dumervil put up, regardless of opposition.
The Spielman - No brainer. :biggrin:
The Assassin - It's hard to say. Stats don't always tell the true story. (Think Antoine Winfield only having one pick his last season.) Bing is just the guy that came to mind
The Nuge - Crosby got it based on his 5-7 performance on 50+ yard field goals.
The Skladany - I checked the stats and went with the guy who had the best average. Without watching all of the games, its just too hard to know
The Hayes - What an outstanding run by Penn State.
