AlphaFlash mentioned this first. Dri Archer is competing for the Paul Hourning Award. Today he's in fourth place out of a big field.

Whooa that's indeed a big field! I was the 938th vote for Mr. Archer though and that's good enough for 4th place. I will do it everyday! Lets get this kid some much deserved recognition!

For those of you who haven't seen it. Dri says his fastest 40 time is 4.21.....

C'mon, let's keep going. Vote early & often!

#2!

C'mon Dri!!!!!!!!!!!! Movin' on up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whoooooooot

Archer gets a nice mention from SI's Stewart Mandel on pg 4 of his college football overtime piece.

He's still in second, but losing ground. KEEP VOTING!

The good part is, this is just a small portion of how someone will win this award. I venture to guess if Dri plays the second half of the season with pretty good success this is an award he can win. He would then be adding this award to the MAC player of the year award he will win in a few months.

Just wanted to compare the top 5 that people have voted.

Adrian Bushell KR 126 TDs 0 TOT 126
Johnthan Banks PR 83 IR 78 TD 0 TOT 161
Antonio Andrews Rush 655 RCV 249 PR 129 KR 173 TD 7 TOT 1206
Josh Lenz PASS 15 RCV 279 PR 7 KR 36 TD 5 TOT 337
Dri Archer RUSH 647 PASS 24 RCV 225 KR 525 TD 13 TOT 1421

I figured this was the correct thread for this posting and that I didn't need a new thread. I have suggested a Dri highlight video of all his TD runs and kick return TD's. If it was done well and to some sweet music this week, it could go viral. Think about a video going viral with millions of viewers in a couple of days/weeks. Can you say Heisman finalist? I know it's unlikely, but so was a MAC title game appearance 3 months ago. I am here to tell you, what Dri has done this year is no less impressive than what "honey badger" did last year. There is no way there are 5 players better than Dri in the nation. He has to be seen to get his accolades. ESPN3 and STO don't do it. We need a video and it needs to go viral!
