Is Trey Lance a shoe-in for the Rice?

[SoccerDobber]

Pretty awesome we are the only team with 2 on the Rice list. All 3 are very deserving. Brown has been an INT machine. McElvain has been very composed and smart for being so green. Smith is just a flat out stud that runs thru people. Glad none of them are seniors.

Lance should win the Rice (Hands down the best Freshmen QB in FCS)
Lance should be a finalist for the Payton (rushing stats will take a hit the next 3 games)
