RE: Ranking the Best Players in CUSA at All 11 Positions Part Two: Offense
No complaints from this Monarchs fan. I was happy to see Zach Pascal be recognized. He is a special talent, and we certainly hope for him to have an outstanding senior year. I would like to have seen Ray Lawry make the list, but I have absolutely no argument with the selection of Ito Smith.

There's a huge pool of talent in this conference, and a case could be made for another player at almost every position. Nick Mullens may be the only pretty much unanimous selection, with Stockstill right behind him.

Drop the ODU WR Paschal and replace with either the Taylor kid from La Tech or DJ Thompson from Southern Miss and I wouldn't argue too much with it for a "preseason" list.

Gotta say not having anyone from WKU's entire returning line seems silly. A line that gave their QB all day to throw the ball last year, in their undefeated conference run. We don't even know if Van Horn will have the physical presence of old after his injury and a year off.

Pascal and Hernandez were both 2nd team selections in Athlon Sports preseason all-conference list, while Lamp (WKU) and Taylor (La Tech) were the first team selections. So, they aren't totally out of nowhere picks to have Pascal and Hernandez be tops here. Someone is always going to be left off these kind of lists. That's the nature of them and what spurs the conversation about them.

I think a healthy Aaron Jones will be the best RB in the league.

If Ray Lawry didn't spend so much time hurt last season, he probably would've gotten 2k yards. Then the writer wouldn't have had to crumple names on 5-6 pieces of paper to select the best.

RE: Ranking the Best Players in CUSA at All 11 Positions Part Two: Offense
Here's my only beef....

you had the best QB and the top RB (YPC) behind a line that has everyone returning yet not one of them is on this guys list. So if it wasn't the offensive line making those holes. Wales should be on the list as RB and if not at least one offensive line

As I said in the defensive part of this list....you are only as good as your weakest link. 5 all conference players and 6 like a bowl of jello with some more firmer than others does not make a good football team.

Lamp, Taylor Named Preseason All-Americans by College Football America


The Hilltoppers were one of six teams to garner multiple selections and one of 19 total schools represented. WKU also joined Marshall and Old Dominion as Conference USA programs to earn players on the Preseason All-America Team.

Lamp produced another stalwart seasons on the left side of WKU's offensive line in 2015. He was named a Second Team All-American by ProFootballFocus.com and the top tackle from the Group of 5 leagues by the publication, while also earning a place on the All-C-USA first team. As a junior, Lamp did not allow a tackle and just 11 quarterback pressures, while anchoring a line that finished the year No. 19 nationally in fewest sacks allowed with just 16.

IF Lawry didn't lead the league in rushing yards you guys may have had a point.

And he got most of his yards against crap teams... Hate to burst your bubble... NCST, Marshall, WKU, he had a whopping 311 yards... Way to beat up on the bottom of the conference... Not impressed.

He's not even in the same area code as WKU's back...
