Greatest Individual Season For Each FBS Football School
ESPN did a Best Football Player at Every School.
Some may disagree with their choices.

http://espn.go.com/college-football/stor...bs-schools

SUN BELT
Armanti Edwards

Appalachian State: Armanti Edwards, QB, 2007
3,536 yards of total offense, 38 total touchdowns

Edwards racked up bunches of yards and honors, but he is best known for his performance against Michigan, accounting for 289 yards and four touchdowns in one of the biggest upsets in college football history.

Bill Bergey

Arkansas State: Bill Bergey, LB, 1968
196 tackles (19.6 per game); 33 in one game

Prior to becoming an All-Pro performer in the NFL, Bergey shifted from the defensive line to linebacker and became a first-team All-American and first-team All-Southland Conference player.

Adrian Peterson

Georgia Southern: Adrian Peterson, RB, 1999
2,704 rushing yards, 40 TDs in 15 games

A year after setting the NCAA single-season rushing record by a freshman, Peterson became the first sophomore to win the Walter Payton Award as the top player in Division I-AA.

Albert Wilson

Georgia State: Albert Wilson, WR, 2013
71 receptions, 2,283 all-purpose yards, 9 TDs

Wilson made the 2013 All-Sun Belt team as both a wide receiver and all-purpose player in 2013. He broke his own school records for receptions, receiving yards, touchdown catches and all-purpose yards.

John Friesz

Idaho: John Friesz, QB, 1989
4,041 passing yards and 31 TD passes; averaged 367.4 YPG

After leading Division I-AA in passing yards, Friesz won the 1989 Walter Payton National Player of the Year Award. The first-team All-American's total passing yardage in 1989 still ranks first in school history.

Blaine Gautier

Louisiana Lafayette: Blaine Gautier, QB, 2011
3,444 yards of total offense, responsible for 26 TDs

Gautier set multiple school passing records and ranked 11th in the Sun Belt with 486 rushing yards in 2011. In the bowl game against San Diego State, Gautier set a school record with 492 yards of total offense.

Stan Humphries

Louisiana Monroe: Stan Humphries, QB, 1987
2,622 passing yards, 18 TDs

Humphries led Louisiana Monroe (then Northeast Louisiana) to a Division I-AA championship in 1987. He is one of just two Warhawks to have his number (No. 11) retired.

Charley Johnson

New Mexico State: Charley Johnson, QB, 1960
1,511 yards passing, 13 TDs

The future NFL quarterback led NMSU to an undefeated season and Sun Bowl appearance in 1960, becoming the first two-time Sun Bowl MVP when he completed 18 of 26 passes in a 20-13 win against Utah State.

Ross Metheny

South Alabama: Ross Metheny, QB, 2013
3,228 yards of total offense, 25 total TDs

Metheny led South Alabama to a 6-6 record in its first season as a full-fledged FBS program. The Virginia transfer led the Sun Belt in total offense at 269 yards per game and ranked third in passing (218.5 YPG).

Claude Mathis

Texas State: Claude Mathis, RB, 1997
1,593 rushing yards, 308 in one game

Mathis was named an All-American in 1997 after breaking the Southland Conference's single-season rushing record. He set numerous school records and posted its only two 300-yard rushing games.

Osi Umenyiora

Troy: Osi Umenyiora, DE, 2002
15 sacks, 20.5 tackles for loss

Teaming with fellow future NFL star DeMarcus Ware, Umenyiora dominated along the defensive line. He finished second in the nation in sacks and set a then-school record in tackles for loss.

RE: Best Football Player For Each FBS School
Arkansas State is actually doing fan voting this year to determine the best player in ASU football history. I think its going to come down to Bill Bergey or Ryan Aplin if I was to hazard a guess. (Aplin is extremely popular, though he's got a touch matchup in Maurice Carthon this week)

RE: Best Football Player For Each FBS School
Couple of years ago saw a thread that pretty much had Dexter Coakley of App State that played with the Cowboys in the NFL
pretty much tied with Armanti Edwards. Guess the survey has a lot of familiarity factor in it as well.
Both had huge impacts on the program but I would go with Armanti because of a bigger impact he had.

Claude Mathis went to the high school I work at. His name is etched in the sidewalk along the football field. I grew up in the next town over so I probably was at a few of his hs games when I was little since our schools (and towns) are rivals. The town was all a buzz that the team he coaches, Desoto, almost knocked out powerhouse Allen in the semifinals this past year.

Two 300 yard rushing games is quite a feat just in itself.

And then there's Ricky Sanders. He was a RB at TXST but went on to be a part of the Washington Redskin's "Posse" of WR's.

Wasn't even an All American. Would have to check if he made LSC all conference, even.

It still boggles my mind that AP had 40 td's that season. That is insane for a rb.

That was the best, most well coached team I have ever seen. Like someone shrunk Alabama in the wash. AP's YPC was something ridiculous too.

RE: Best Football Player For Each FBS School
has much as I hate to give credit to any GS player, the AP run in the championship game against Conn was my all time favorite, he basically ran over, and around almost all eleven players, and when he stopped halfway thru the run, grabbed that poor defensive back, and threw him to the ground like a rag doll, to me that was the highlight of the year in collage football

Sorry, but the list for the Cajuns goes something like Keener Cagle, Brian Mitchel, Jake Delhome and the Tyrell Fenroy. Blaine was very talented, but he wasn't better than Broadway, Harris and McGuire who is the most exciting player to ever put on the Cajuns uniform.

Brandon Stokley... at the time he graduated, he was the ONLY player in D1A [and one of 2 in D1, the other being Jerry Rice] history to average over 100 receiving yards per game in a 4 year career.

Without a doubt Albert Wilson and his his numbers are even more eye popping considering that he had 9 starting QBs in 4 years.

The title of this thread is inaccurate. It is not a list of the best player for each school but a list of the "greatest individual season." Big difference.

Numbers wise, Blaine probably had the best individual season (and a bowl win). This is not a list for best career.

FWIW he actually threw TWO people to the ground on that play, most people don't notice the first. Pay close attention to #18 for Youngstown who gets dragged for about 15 yards and then falls down. After he gets back up he tries to tackle Peterson again and at (0:32) Peterson grabs his jersey with his right hand and pulls the guy down to the ground behind him right before he grabs the gun in front of him and throws him to the ground too. You can't see it well from this angle but in other videos where they show the endzone cam you can see it clearly.

The most amazing run I've ever seen.

Ron Dayne has the career FBS rushing record at 7,125 yards. Peterson had over 9,600 yards rushing in his career. I think that record will stand for a while.
