Congratulations to Robert Kent...your numbers were impressive and from what I've read on the SMACK page so was the performance...[size=4.5]BUT[/size], will someone explain to me the choices for defensive players of the week.
Both co-defensive players of the week were on losing teams. I know it's possible, but let's look at this objectively. The lb from Valley was credited with 10 tackles. But dayum, Einstein...didn't he have a lot of opportunities to make tackles. Sam Houston state scored dayum near 70points. I'm sure they ran a helluva lot of running plays. Plus how far downfield was he blocked prior to making these tackles. The other choice was a db from A&M. His tackle total is not impressive, if he was tackling the guy he was covering after a long completion. Think about it, Kent passes for big numbers (yardage and scores) and this kid makes the tackle after getting torched!
I don't fault the kids, I fault the coaches for nominating them in the first place. This is SAD!!!! I bet Sam Houston State is laughing their azzes off..."We beat MSVU by 50+ and the best defender in the SWAC last week was on that team".
