ALL-MAC Teams Announced
The MAC announced their post-season awards today.....first we will take a look at how the Falcons fared, and then looked at the teams as a whole.
BG had 6 players named--though remember, the team goes 3-deep now, which it didn't until recently. Of course, there used to be 7 teams in the confernce too.
Kamar Jorden, WR, was first-team All-MAC.
Dwayne Woods, LB, was second-team.
Bryan Wright, P, was second team
Eugene Cooper, PR, was second team.
Willie Geter, RB, was third team
Chris Jones, D-Lineman was third team.
All in all, I think this is pretty fair to our guys. Jorden clearly had an All-MAC season and is a very good player. The only other player I thought had a shot at first-team was Woods, but you can't argue too much with Bellore (CMU) and Mixon (Kent) behing ahead of him. He led the conference in tackles, but we did give up a buttload of plays, too. I think Wright was underappreciated for BG as punter this year, Cooper had a couple TDs, and Jones had some dominant weeks and certainly deserved his honor as well. It would have been great to see Bojicic honored, but his injuries probably prevented him from showing his abilities.
I am, however, very impressed that Willie Geter was honored. This shows a subtlety and wisdom that frankly I didn't think the voters had. Geter did not put up great numbers, mostly because he was hampered with a poor line, but he made the most of what he was given and made some big plays on screens and receptions. I believe he earned this honor, and I give credit to the voters for seeing behind the stats.
The big individual awards were as follows...

A couple notes here. First, I would personally have voted for Harnish as the offensive player of the year, but it is hard to argue with Spann. Harnish was the first-team QB. The other ones I don't see how you can quibble with. It should be noted that for the defensive player of the year and the freshman of the year to be the same guy is a pretty good testament to Roosevelt Nix, who is clearly a dominant player already.
The rest of the All-MAC teams follow.
Random note...Pierce sure was injured a lot, seems like that would hamper him on this, but it didn't.
