Paul was solid, but I'm not sure.

Did Gionni Paul get robbed?

No one cares

Who is this Yanni Paul?

Ru Paul's brother

The award is for best player, so no.
shimmy
12/1/15 8:49pm
Based on what? Stats, value to team, or future draft potential?
Medute
12/1/15 8:54pm
How do you compare stats between players at different positions? It is an
shimmy
12/1/15 8:57pm
Should you take into account the team's defensive performance?
Medute
12/1/15 9:06pm
No, you shouldn't.
southernfriedcougar
12/1/15 9:08pm
I dunno. If one player had a much better year, but his teammated were worse
shimmy
12/1/15 9:09pm
A guy like Jack would make way more sense than Buckner
Medute
12/1/15 9:20pm
You need to get over the tackle thing. A 4-3 MLB should have double or triple
shimmy
12/1/15 9:23pm
Ok, I am over the tackles, how about the 9 turnovers?
Medute
12/1/15 9:25pm
As for sacks. Orchard and Dimick had 18.5 and 10 respectively last year
Medute
12/1/15 9:28pm
Utah played a 3-4 last year? And Orchard was fantastic. I have never seen
shimmy
12/1/15 9:31pm
We can certainly agree on that QB statement
Medute
12/1/15 9:41pm
And by that same argument I hope you don't think Booker wins any awards.
shimmy
12/1/15 9:10pm
Utah was 4th in rushing offense despite facing a stacked box all year
Medute
12/1/15 9:25pm
Above Freeman? Not me.
southernfriedcougar
12/1/15 9:51pm
Great player who had a great season
Medute
12/1/15 9:59pm
And near the bottom in average. Total yards don't tell much of the story.
southernfriedcougar
12/1/15 10:22pm
Defenses can basically focus everything on Utah's running game
Medute
12/1/15 10:32pm
huh, I wonder if offenses would key on Buckner by doubling or triple teaming him
SCcoug
12/1/15 10:43pm
Like I said, great player who had a great season
Medute
12/2/15 5:59am
Plenty of teams have had meh QB play with great RB play.
southernfriedcougar
12/2/15 8:53am
By his teammates... probably yes.
BIG XII Coug
12/1/15 8:49pm
Not bad
Medute
12/1/15 8:53pm
Definitely robbed of a quality education.
mobomanjoe
12/1/15 9:05pm
He has a strong argument, but I wouldn't say he got robbed. Buckner having more sacks and TFL's...
BengalCougar
12/1/15 8:50pm
What about the 9 turnovers vs. 1. That's kind of a big stat, no?
Medute
12/1/15 9:23pm
Again, he has a strong argument, not denying that. I am just saying those stats...
BengalCougar
12/1/15 10:19pm
I wouldn't put it past anyone up on the hill to rob him at any moment
cougarnerd
12/1/15 8:50pm
Gosh dang it, I was one minute late
cougarnerd
12/1/15 9:01pm
I hope that wasn't counted as one of his interceptions.
Countcougula
12/1/15 8:51pm
Yeah, looked like it hit the ground to me too
SpiffCoug
12/1/15 8:52pm
The gif doesn't show it well. In the instant replay with slow mo, it was a catch
Medute
12/1/15 8:52pm
In that case, maybe he just used up all his good karma in getting that call😃
Countcougula
12/1/15 9:41pm
The GIF shows it fine, it looked to me (and TV announcers, IIRC)

You guys should have started harassing the voting media members sooner.

I thought that was Hatfield
concolor couguar
12/1/15 8:53pm
No. Hatfield just accidently ended up with his award.
byubyu
12/1/15 8:53pm
DeForest Buckner won the award, but Hatfield has it in his possession
darkcoug
12/1/15 8:54pm
If he was hanging around Paris Warren, then yeah, he got robbed.
WDaddy
12/1/15 8:53pm
No worries, Parris has protection.
byubyu
12/1/15 8:57pm
No, he is not even the best linebacker in the state of Utah.
Wingnut
12/1/15 8:54pm
I will admit that he does have a fantastic linebackers coach.
Wingnut
12/1/15 8:55pm
Desmond Howard would have voted for Buckner
BYUheaven
12/1/15 8:54pm
Statistically, he looks like he had a better year
FiveTen-BuckEighty
12/1/15 8:56pm
Agreed. Although he did get the weekly award attention from the conference
Medute
12/1/15 8:59pm
Something else that factors in though, for a DE Buckners stats were huge
FiveTen-BuckEighty
12/1/15 9:02pm
This^^^ stats between lb and DE aren't really comparable
BYUheaven
12/1/15 9:04pm
Buckner is a 3-4 DE - that was a huge year!
FiveTen-BuckEighty
12/1/15 9:09pm
Yet those impressive stats didn't translate to defensive success for the team
Medute
12/1/15 9:09pm
Utah's defense was excellent?
SpiffCoug
12/1/15 9:34pm
You have to look at stats within the conference

DeFo will be a 1st round draft pick, so no, paul wasn't "robbed"
quackaddict
12/1/15 8:58pm
He's a great player and looks like he'll make a great pro
Medute
12/1/15 9:01pm
That doesn't really have anything to do with the college award
southernfriedcougar
12/1/15 9:07pm
based on the stats, yes
warp
12/1/15 9:00pm
Probably. Awards are way political so I'd guess yes.

Paul was solid, but I'm not sure.
Downtown
12/1/15 9:02pm
At least he wasn't shot. Did they ever try to catch those guys? Still can't
Rocketman
12/1/15 9:13pm
He is really good. I thought he would have won it.

CougarindaOC gave me a thumbs down! This post was totally worth it!
Medute
12/1/15 9:14pm
Thanks for taking the time to post those gifs too
Cougarealist
12/1/15 9:15pm
The extra 1 minute to google "Gionni Paul Gif" was worth it to watch them again
Medute
12/1/15 9:21pm
Is that Paul with the balloons?
Florwood
12/2/15 8:38am
No, it was the right choice. Paul is in a system that helps his succcess.

Has anyone heard from Gunther since this was announced? He has to be crapping
CougsOrDeath
12/1/15 9:28pm
An Oregon dedender winning the award just seems wrong
wapiti
12/1/15 9:29pm
Why? It's an individual performance award, not a team award.
southernfriedcougar
12/1/15 9:58pm
I like Tomasi Laulile's moves over Paul's
CMuehle
12/1/15 9:31pm
Antonio Longino is better than both
