2011 Home Depot ESPN College Football Awards | Open Thread

by Todd on Dec 8, 2011 4:59 PM CST in Football

We've entered that dead period between the end of the regular season and the start of the bowl season where the only things we have to distract us are the Army-Navy game, the coaching carousel and, of course, the awards shows. The Heisman will be announced on Saturday, but tonight we'll have an opportunity to root for our guys in a couple of other categories on the annual Home Depot ESPN College Football Awards Show. Being ESPN, they're already running taped stuff over on ESPNU, but the live festivities begin here shortly with Palmer and Pollack Live from the Red Carpet (I know, right?) at 6:00pm CST and the "official" Red Carpet Special at 7:00 before switching over to ESPN proper at 8:00pm CST for the actual awards. The awards our players are up for are:

Chuck Bednarik Award (College Defensive Player of the Year)
Presenter: Matt Millen - Penn State, ESPN College Football Analyst
Finalists: Dont'a Hightower (Alabama), Tyrann Mathieu (LSU), Devon Still (Penn State)

Maxwell Award (College Player of the Year)
Presenter: Herschel Walker - Georgia, 1982 Winner
Finalists: Andrew Luck (Stanford), Kellen Moore (Boise State), Trent Richardson (Alabama)

Outland Trophy (Nation's Most Outstanding Interior Lineman)
Presenter: Mark May - Pitt, 1980 Winner
Finalists: David DeCastro (Stanford), Barrett Jones (Alabama), Devon Still (Penn State)

Jim Thorpe Award (Nation's Most Outstanding Defensive Back)
Presenter: Governor Bill Anoatubby, Tribal Leader of the Chickasaw Nation
Finalists: David Amerson (NC State), Mark Barron (Alabama), Morris Claiborne (LSU)

Doak Walker Award (Nation's Most Outstanding Running Back)
Presenter: Calvin Hill - Yale, Recipient of the 2008 Doak Walker Legends Award
Finalists: Montee Ball (Wisconsin), LaMichael James (Oregon), Trent Richardson (Alabama)

In addition to the individual player awards the show will feature the presentation of the NCFAA Contribution to College Football Award, The Home Depot Coach of the Year Award, The Allstate AFCA Good Works Team, the Disney Spirit Award (which will be accepted on Alabama's behalf by Carson Tinker), and the Walter Camp All-America Team. Chime in here with all your thoughts on all the festivities.

If nothing else Trent got to meet Jasmine from Aladdin, so he has that going for him, which is nice.

Trent ain't going to win the Heistman, but

I’d think he is a shoe in for the Doak.

By the way, I like Doak better than Heisman anyway. Heisman coached at Auburn and Ga Tech. Why would care about such a bozo? Doak Walker died from a snow skiing accident while in his 70’s. Now that is a man.

If Auburn was in New Mexico and we never played them I would still hate them and their dumb coach and their cheating players.

I'm expecting a lot of people to just be stats nerds and go will Ball

but I think Trent should win

Fumbles. It was always Fumbles

How in the Hell can

Mathieu win or at least be in the running for the “best defensive player” yet not be up for the best DB award? oh right…thats cause he is TOTALLY overrated as a cover corner and is only skilled at blizting from the weak (blind side) and returning punts..

Follow on twitter @thelyell

by bammer on Dec 8, 2011 5:19 PM CST reply actions

I agree

I think he takes advantage of playing in such a talented defense that everyone else has to account for.

Fumbles. It was always Fumbles

by DocFumbles on Dec 8, 2011 6:12 PM CST up reply actions

Mathieu would be nothing if he played for say Auburn.

Teams would not be punting it much and he would not be able to just run to the ball because of the broken tackles, etc.

If Auburn was in New Mexico and we never played them I would still hate them and their dumb coach and their cheating players.

RG3 was one of the best oral communicators I’ve seen & heard from a student-athlete in a long, long time. I’d expect that since both of his parents are/were? Sgt.‘s in the Army. Very disciplined.

true

but, I think its an award with pretty solid integrity, unlike the heisman, which has a very checkered past.

True

it was treated as a “Sorry you won’t win the Heisman” award

Fumbles. It was always Fumbles

by DocFumbles on Dec 8, 2011 9:13 PM CST up reply actions

Well, the truth is RBs rarely win the Heistman.

It usually goes to a qb and will this year.

If Auburn was in New Mexico and we never played them I would still hate them and their dumb coach and their cheating players.

by 5026 on Dec 8, 2011 9:16 PM CST up reply actions

Historically...

43 or 44 of the 76 Heisman trophies have been awarded to running backs (in 1944, Ohio State’s Les Horvath was a Quarterback and a Halfback), including 12 straight from 1972 to 1983 (inclusive).

However, that has changed recently, with 9 of the last 11 going to quarterbacks.

Note that I am counting Reggie Bush’s Heisman, but it officially doesn’t count.

Thirteen.

In amplification...

27 or 28 quarterbacks (see the above note about Les Horvath) have won the Heisman, including 9 of the last 11.

You are correct.

It once was a RB award, but now it is a QB award. I was talking about the here and now.

If Auburn was in New Mexico and we never played them I would still hate them and their dumb coach and their cheating players.

Bowls were not designed to be for . . .

. . . small schools that bring less than 8 thousand fans to a bowl city. The Sugar Bowl only did what bowls do. Produce a game that celebrates college football with the largest crowd possible. Boise can’t do that.

by toofull on Dec 8, 2011 9:32 PM CST up reply actions

true, but not entirely true

its sort of a myth that Boise doesn’t travel. They do, they don’t travel as well as Va Tech will, but they do travel.

Boise State's average HOME attendance this year was 34,018.

It is interesting to see that they only had 6 home games this year.

The good news is that they officially exceeded capacity in each of those home games. The bad news is that their stadium’s capacity is 33,500.
