2012 NCAA Football Thread

Manti Te'o won the Maxwell tonight and Kelly was named coach of the year.

This season just keeps on getting better for us ND guys.

In all honesty the Maxwell really is the premier award for a college football player, it is awarded by coaches not reporters. IIRC it is the first time since 1980 a defensive player has won it.

if Te'o does not win the Heisman on Saturday I won't really care. It is basically an offensive award anyway.

At this point, nothing can diminish what a wonderful football season this has been for us. All that can happen is icing on the cake. Edited December 7, 2012 by Mike.357

I'm with you Mike. This season has already wildly exceeded my expectations. Anything that happens past this is a fantastic bonus.

Mostly I want as many good things that can happen to Manti as possible. If he doesn't win the Heisman fine, I wish he would though because I would like to see such an outstanding young man rewarded on that kind of stage. After the year he's had, and the kind of character he's shown throughout his career at ND I can't see enough good things happen for that young man.

Go Irish. Beat Bama!
