Max Busher should definitely be on there and is not.

Agreed. I was suprised Dorleant wasn't first or second team too.

Re: All-MVC for Football

LBs are stacked in the Valley but it's ridiculous that Busher didn't make the cut. He was one of the leagues top tacklers in conference play despite missing 1 game.

Re: All-MVC for Football

I know nobody cares about punter but I think we have the best one in the league. Too often when it comes to punting we look at average punt and that is it. Just because someone has a 45 yard average does not make them a good punter. That punter may have given up 3 returned for a touchdown, a 33 yard net, and 14 touch backs. You also have to look at how many times the punter is forced to punt from inside opponent territory (something Farley is known for) basically forcing the punter to try to punt it under 40 yards killing their average.

The Bieghler snub and the Johnson snub of O POY leads me to believe that the All Valley is just a statistical contest, and the non stat positions (O Line) are name recognition whether someone deserves it or not...

Re: All-MVC for Football

Busher is a complete snub, I thought at times he was better than Farley, always around the ball, and has a few ints to go with the tackles.

He has defended or broken up more passes than most DB's on the team and I imagine more passes than most, if not all, LB's in the MVFC.

17 of 59 punts in Valley games dropped inside the 20, with another 6 for TBs ... that's a great stat for any punter. And he is at UNI for another season.

Re: All-MVC for Football

Coach Farley said this yesterday:

But the ones who did get mentioned have been great players for us over time and not just one season. And they had a great season this year (with) how they brought it back around and how they're playing right now because they're playing at an all-conference level!!

Maybe this explains why more weren't selected?

i would like to see our gunners get more practice downing punts, sometimes there touch backs that should be downed on the five or so....

some touch backs though are okay, if they were field flippers, I know he has had a couple of those this year too resulting in 35 yard + net punt after the ball being moved to the 20

Last week, when the receiver bailed on making the catch, our gunners could have caught the ball inside the 10 rather than trying to down it.

Yep ... Bieghler has been great this season.

Re: All-MVC for Football

Who determines the All-MVC awards for each team? I'm thinking each team is allocated a certain number of players based on their standing in the conference. Do the UNI coaches vote on the players for their team, or does a conference committee of coaches vote on the players?
