It's not just some silly self-imposed nickname

We really our WRU and absolutely have the receipts to show it.

Is there NOT a TE award? Surely, he's a TE and not a WR right? Or is this simply a pass-catcher award and a RB could technically win it?

He’s a hybrid but only on there for name recognition.

Relax.

Look at Nabers weekly stats side to side with Harrison.

It will be a complete joke if Harrison wins it over him (and he likely will).

They are the only school with the number one offense in the free world. Recruits have to love this.

Sweet!!

BTJ needs more recognition, especially on the national level. What this offense has accomplished is spectacular. To even have people mention them in the same conversation as the 2019 GOAT Team is something I didn’t think I’d ever see yet here we are just 4 years later doing just that, LOL!!

It’s definitely been fun to watch. At least 1/2 the games have been anyway

Probably Delpit-karma rearing its head. Delpit won the best DB award when others had a better statistical year.

BT in 1st place in TDs with 14, MN tied for 4th with 12

Nabers (spelled correctly. shazam!) in 1st place receiving yards with 1424 yards on 80 receptions, more than 100 yards better than 2nd place who has 16 more catches and almost 300 yards more than 1st place in catches 24 more catches than Malik. Thomas is in 11th place with 1021 yards.

MN is tied for 6th in catches per game at 7.3. 1st place in catches per game is Wester w/ Fl Atl at 9.5 catches per game and a total of 104 catches.

Yes, Bowers won the John Mackey award in 2022.

Per Biletnikoff website, “any player who catches the football is eligible to be selected as the award winner although every winner thus far has been a wide receiver”.

A lot of talent and production on that list, and we have two of them. Very impressive.

We can get upset about this all we want, but Harrison Jr. will be the first pass catcher taken in the NFL draft, probably followed by Bowers.

ETA: another tidbit from Biletnikoff website “actual, on-field performance, not college or professional football potential, is the basis for Biletnikoff Award recognition.”
