The Big Ten has 9 of the 51 Maxwell candidates, and 10 of the 49 Bednarik candidates. I lost interest before tabulating the totals for the other conferences...

3000 posts and you get lazy, JDub!

Hard to believe that the Mountain West has no candidates for either award.

Bednarik Award

Dan Connor LB
Penn State, Sophomore

Paul Posluszny LB
Penn State, Junior

Alan Zemaitis DB
Penn State, Senior

Penn State returns D1A's 2004 #6 Pass-D, #10 Total-D, and #5 Scoring-D. Both DEs are Seniors, all four DBs are Seniors, and they've got four Juniors with quality experience, and three players overall on the Bednarik Watch List.

If PSU knew what an end-zone looked like they would be a nightmare for any opponent. If their incoming recruits are half as good as the recruitniks say, than JoePa will go out a winner.

I'm not nearly as concerned with Texas or Iowa at home. The 4-7 record in 2004 be damned; beating Penn State in Happy Valley at night will be a hell of an accomplishment for the 2005 Buckeyes.

Mike Bush was great last year... man we could use a bruiser RB like him this year!!

He went to louisville to be a QB... and low and behold he is an RB (the position OSU was recruiting him)...

 

[Ginn&Juice]

Dryden....that pick with all the LB's is sweet ..was it in a magizine or somethin?

 

[Happygobuckeye]

Hard to believe that the Mountain West has no candidates for either award.

It's that damn Mountain East bias...

Here's the Bednarik watch list - AJ is the only Buckeye.

Nagurski site

The award, named after Hall of Famer and University of Minnesota and Chicago Bears star Bronko Nagurski, recognizes the best all-around defensive players throughout the year with the Bronko Nagurski Player of the Week.
