2018 SBC Football All-Conference

[CajunVic]

Yea well the argument could be made either way. There are 5 really good running backs in this league and from a non biased standpoint, you could make the argument for App and Troy RBs to go on first team. Doesn’t really matter. Only thing that matters is winning our next game.

When they want to hose you, the stats or facts matter not.

The omission of Cole at Center is the most egregious. That guy is solid at the point of attack and is a big part of our screen game. I also would have thought Ragas would be higher. The rest seem about right.

If that is the case then the most egregious was Napier not being coach of the year.

I don't think Coach Nape was 2nd in the COY. I think he should have been 2nd but he should have lost to the Georgia Southern Coach. Nape should have been 2nd and Satterfield 3rd.

My assumption is the vote was.

Satterfield
Lunsford
Napier
Brown
Anderson
Viator

Evans had the one less game than ragas or Mitchell. Higher ypc and was on first place team. All factors that contributed. It’s really a toss up and somebody had to get it. We all know Ragas is the best back we have so should have been 2nd team at the very least.

Ragas is not the best back we have IMO. He is great but I think Mitchell is the best all around back. I think Mitchell was more deserving of the 2nd team vote than Ragas though as he played one less game but we know it was more than that as he was limited in a couple of other games and still had more TD's and Receiving yards and a much higher YPC average and was third on the team in receptions.

If that is the case then the most egregious was Napier not being coach of the year.

I think losing 3 SBC games is why he did not win. Regardless, he did a great job for us.

[RaginDave]

It is hard to compare all three, but in the 4th quarter I want Ragas after having about 15 carries in the game. He gets better as the game goes on and is guaranteed 3 yards minimum vs a tired defense.

Early in the game I want a steady dose of a mix of Mitchell and Ragas. Ragas for the power and Mitchell for the fact that he can break any play into a TD.

And then pepper in Calais periodically wherever you see fit.

There are two amazing facts for this football team that people need to remember. We have lost a total of 3 fumbles all year. Considering how much we run the ball, 3 fumbles is amazing, the other fact is I personally can not remember any of our RB's losing a fumble. I do remember a play where Lewis and one of our backs collided. But these three guys rarely fumble the ball.

The other fact is that all three of them are dangerous out of the backfield catching passes. They have all done it well this year. I am actually surprised Calias has not done it better but all three are capable if not better than average receivers. I would like to see Calais line up as a slot guy and run a few plays for him in space.

I wonder if they look at just conference stats or the entire season stats when voting on this.

Regardless, we should have a 1st team RB. You can argue between Ragas & Mitchell, but one of them definitely deserves 1st team.

I'm not one that really gets excited about post-season awards, I only care about results on the field. However, if this provides extra incentive for the team this weekend, then I am extremely happy with how these turned out.

[Million$Mullet]

What a joke. Our boys aren’t getting credit for anything they’ve accomplished. Between the all conference selections and people thinking appy is just gonna steamroll us it’s time to prove everybody wrong

[GeauxCajuns]

Any chance they split votes forcing them to 2nd and 3rd
