Baylor Awards Watch List
Hey Baylor Fans,
I hope everyone enjoyed the first weekend of college football. One of my favorites parts of college football is the awards watch lists, Heisman, Nagurski, Maxwell Award, etc. Sometimes we even win them. (See above.) These awards are great but have one key problem, players outside of Baylor are eligible to win them. Johnny Manziel, Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota, the list goes on. In fact, only ONE Baylor player has won the Heisman. Here is my solution to fix this, Baylor awards. They're like regular awards but only Baylor players can win them.
RG3 Award (The Baylor Heisman)
- Corey Coleman (5 Catches, 178 Yards, 1 Touchdown)
- Seth Russell (15-30, 376 Yards, 6 Touchdowns (1 Rushing), 6 Carries, 59 Yards)
- Andrew Billings (3 Tackles, 2 TFL)
Seth Russell was great in his first game, getting six (SIX!!!) touchdowns, but the nod goes to Corey Coleman for making SMU's top corner look like a Junior High B team player. Andrew Billings was wayyyy better than the stats indicate and the stats say he was pretty great.
J.J. Joe Award (Best Offensive Player)
- Corey Coleman (5 Catches, 178 Yards, 1 Touchdown)
- Seth Russell (15-30, 376 Yards, 6 Touchdowns (1 Rushing), 6 Carries, 59 Yards)
- Jay Lee (3 Catches, 70 Yards, 3 Touchdowns)
How fun was it to see senior Jay Lee to go crazy for three touchdowns, so fun that he is now on the J.J. Joe Award watch list.
