2016 MVC All-Conference Team

Re: 2016 MVC All-Conference Team

Zach Davis won a couple road games during Grace's senior year and looked really good doing it. There were questions about which way to go.

I think you're right about Kollmorgen's first year.

There was still no question Grace was the starter through 09 though.

Davis thought that he was the guy after Grace was gone. Then in came Rennie for spring ball 2010. His athletic ability dominated spring ball and Farley went with him. That led to Davis creating a massive split in the locker room and being a real cancer to the team. Oddly enough I've heard much the same about Bailey and Tyvis handling losing their starting roles about as well as Davis did.

Even in Sawyer's freshman year he had to beat out Jared Lanpher who had been successful in a start and some backup action when Rennie was dinged up, now it was a little different because Sawyer was in the program, not a transfer, but there was a little bit of controversy with that as well. I would say the last QB that wasn't looking over his back was Pat Grace in 08, 09 he might have been a little bit, or if you really want a truthful answer it might be all the way back to Eric Sanders, who next year would have graduated a decade ago.

I really hope the focus for next years team is line play on both sides of the ball, and especially depth, those great teams of the past had 8 or 9 guys that would start on any team in the Valley on both sides, it was that kind of depth that won us all of those conference titles.

The last time we didn't have a QB controversy... Fall 2016. This was the first year in a long time we didn't have questions at the QB position going into the season. Heck, IIRC Bailey was on some pre-season award lists. That is until a few games into the season.
