Corey Levin got snubbed big time for the blocking trophy.

Corey Levin got snubbed big time for the blocking trophy.

Why? Pinson levels guys and has a mean streak. If you want to speak about snubs...

[kdinva]

.....If you want to speak about snubs...

how about the Coaches all ignoring VMI LB Allen Cratsenburg, not even on the 2nd team, and he led the SoCon in tackles.....and he WAS A PAIN IN THE A__ to all 8 Socon opponents.....

[FUBeAR]

That's OK...

...Mercer QB, John Russ, is the only Player (at all positions) on the All-Madden SoCon Team.

I'm good with that.

I like Pinson but you have to remember that a good OL in that scheme is going to have a lot of knockdowns. Wofford has had players with 150 knockdowns or more in one season before and having 35 or 40 in the ACC is considering insanely high for a knockdown. Other teams are lucky to have someone get over 80 at the FCS level and Wofford has had 2 get over 100 back when they were a top 15 team.

Levin is the defending blocking trophy winner and a possible draft pick. I would have gone with the senior and then picked Pinson as the preseason favorite and preseason All-American next year.
