Dion Bailey instead of Scott Crichton as freshman defensive player of the year. That’s what happens when you play on a well-coached winning team vs a poorly- coached losing team. Still, Scott got screwed. What an absolute crock of s#%*.

Hekker was a few shanks away from breaking into the 1st or 2nd team specialists section.

Yeah… no wonder half the coaches are getting fired this year. Crichton put up better numbers than everyone named ahead of him, yet he still gets snubbed.
Does anyone remember this conversation?

I sure love 10 yard punts.

Sorry, that wasn’t so much a conversation as a bunch of us getting called stupid for thinking we know anything about punters and their skills.

Another feather in the cap of Mike Riley, “the greatest talent developer and hidden gem finder in the nation.”

Ryan Allen has had nearly twice as many opportunities to accomplish those stats. Lets take the numbers and make them equal and then view the results…guage all punters on their top 40 punts. LTech does not play against Oregon, Stanford, and the other Pac 12 teams also….Don’t be a hater! Go Ryan for sure, but make it equal!

Are you high? The top 40 punts? Seriously?
I shouldn’t even bother validating this lunacy with a response. But someone has to point out that it is, in fact, lunacy.
And there’s no hating. It’s just a game in which poor decisions are as obvious as good ones. It wasn’t my idea to kick a better player (and an OSU legacy) to the curb for a lesser talent. But I knew it was a poor decision when it happened.

Hekker is inconsistent and thus he cannot be an all-star. He can kick a 65 yarder and then the next time up shank one 10 yards…and he flubs at the most inopportune times. As for Crichton, he did a great job, but OSU was 101st (out of 120) in the nation in rush defense and LAST in the Pac-12. He will be dominant in the future…
Sadly the lack of all-conference selections reflect the pathetic job Riley and his staff have done developing players that can be successful in the league.
