I am interested in hearing the take from a group of people who generally don't look favorably upon my beloved Utes. To fill you in, DeForest Buckner won the PAC12 DPOY award this evening. Buckner plays for the Ducks. He will likely be a high draft pick in this next year's NFL draft and is obviously an amazing talent. However, when it comes to the award, here is my argument for Paul.

Buckner: 40 Solo, 76 Tot, 16 TFL, 9.5 sacks, 0 INT, 0 FF

Utah Total Defense Ranking: 2 out of 12
