Payton Award...who gets it?

[EWU98]

Three weeks ago I would have said it was Kupps no problem, but with how the team played in the last three weeks not so sure he gets it since we missed the playoffs. I know Bo Levi got it without us making it. Just curious what all your thoughts are.

2 other front runners were JMU's stellar QB Vlad Lee who has been injured the last 4 games of the season (out the rest of the season) and Jordan West...I think Kupp's body of work is still strong enough to be a final 3, but ought to be the first non QB winner in the last decade or so.

Didn't Prukop have 58 of his carries against the Eags? Impressive list. One back over 2,000 yds out of Southland. Body of work past three years Cooper is the man. Best of luck to him against this field.
