Who would you guys vote for? My vote goes to Cuff. My opinion is a bit partial since I go to Delaware, but you can't deny the numbers he's put up.

[DuckDuckGriz]

I really like Barden from Cal Poly and frmo what I have seen, Foster of GSU. Also as far as "intangeables" a real winner and team leader -- NDSU's QB Walker (??) is making a name for that too.

[DSUHornet]

hard to say, i guess cuff

[nmatsen]

it is really sad that the best offensive player in the fcs is no where to be found on any of those lists. oh well, 15-0 and a national title will have to be enough for one eric sanders.

I'll take the latter.

The individual awards are hard for "balanced" offenses to win. I'm not complaining, that's just the way it is.

Seems to me Josh Johnson is putting up some very good numbers. Also, I thought Santos would be higher on some of those lists.

[igo4uni]

you don't see too many North Dakota State players on the lists either!!!

[No_Skill]

you don't see too many North Dakota State players on the lists either!!!

I'm guessing that's because wherever the stats come from they don't count NDSU because of the transition thing.

Those numbers would put him at #4 rushing.

I guess ncaa.org only counts playoff eligible teams. I'm not sure how that works.

Yeah, if you look at the very bottom of the page on your link, the ineligible players are listed.

[appfan2008]

foster gets my vote... if i had one!!!

[Kill'em]

This might be a total homer vote but Foster should run away with it (pun intended). Not only is he third in the nation in rushing but just set the single-season rushing record for a QB (with one game remaining!). His passing numbers haven't been too bad, either. If one looks at intangibiles, think of where we were last year without him and where we are this year with him.

Cal Poly's QB Jonathan Dally and San Diego's QB Josh Johnson share the lead at 200.7 rating.

[straightshooter]

And in the game that Foster didn't score a TD, he threw three TD passes.
