2007 MAC Football Midseason Report

Mid-Season MAC Football Award Candidates

Offensive Player(s) of the Year:
1. Eugene Jarvis, RB, KSU
2. Tyler Sheehan, QG, BGSU
3. Nate Davis, QB, Ball State

Defensive Player(s) of the Year:
1. Dan Holtzclaw, LB, EMU
2. Larry English, DE, NIU
3. PJ Mahone, DB, BGSU

Coach of the Year Candidates:
1. Gregg Brandon, BGSU
2. Brady Hoke, Ball State
3. Doug Martin, Kent State

Biggest Surprise Team(s):
1. BGSU – The Falcons were certainly a mystery team heading in the ’07 season and their early win at Minnesota seemed to have catapulted the program back into a conference elite team again – offensively the Falcons are hard to stop.

2. Eastern Michigan – A big win at NIU got the Eagles back to believing they can be more then just a yearly bottom feeder in the west; if the offense can pick up some consistency, the defense is good enough to push Eastern towards a .500 season.

Most Disappointing Team(s):
1. Toledo – The Rockets were expected to be in the middle of the MAC west pack but no one predicted the team to be THIS bad and possibly being the worst team in the MAC this season.

2. Western Michigan – The Broncos still control their destiny with regards to winning the west division, but the overall MAC favorite by most every publication including the MAC Media looked awful in their three non-conference IA games.

Bowling Green Falcons

What Has Happened:
Few people outside of Fulton County....

Bowling Green State University is in Wood County. Not sure why we care what the people of Fulton County think about the Falcons.

Jesus....does Vandelay even believe in proofreading? First he can't figure out the spread and now BG's in Fulton county?

I love seeing a Falcon praised like this, and Mahone had a heck of a game against Western Kentucky (two interceptions and YAC to boot).

But Brandon resisted describing him as a starter in his news conference yesterday. Seems like he's more of a nickel back at the moment.

Briggs, Haneline and Dozier have really stood out for BG defensively

It's part of a fan exchange program between BG and the Atlanta Braves.

It says Wood County on my screen...

Well-played.

Who are the candidates for MAC Freshman of the Year?

CMU has Antonio Brown making a real impact, but I haven't heard about any Freshmen from the other schools. Anyone out there we should know about?

You're likely to hear more and more about Frank Edmonds from Ball State as the season progresses. He looks like the real deal.

My error on Fulton County vs. Wood County - Sorry

Glad to add humor to your day though!

My parents live on the Fulton/Williams County border. That would be too close for me. Did you think that Archbold was a suburb of BG?

Northwest State CC would be a great feeder school for BG if it was located in Fulton County.

This made my day...Thank you!!!

Nick,
We (KSU fans) have not agreed with you in the past, but that is certainly part of the job. I feel for you when reading the report. It seemed you were the harshest on Toledo, and I know that isn't easy for you to watch.
