Kaufman had 1850 yards receiving and 16 Td's and is nowhere on the list...interesting to say the least.

Keep in mind this was voted on at the end of the regular season. Kaufman still had a ways to go to get the record at that point.EWURanger wrote:Congrats to Heineke and I don't think this should have been close, but I just find it odd that the guy that broke the single-season receiving record isn't even on the list.

True, but his numbers were very comparable to Erik Lora's at the time, sans the # of receptions, and Lora finished 4th.Mvemjsunpx wrote:Keep in mind this was voted on at the end of the regular season.

Cluck you basshole! You're just bitter because UD did away with their football program.Cluck U wrote:The vote was probably taken before he choked with the fumble and interception against GSU.
I get that and recognize that 600 of his yards came in the playoffs.And I know that WR's don't win it but I would have thought his regular season stats would have been enough to at least make the list. IMO he's easily one of the top 5 offensive players in the FCS.Mvemjsunpx wrote:Keep in mind this was voted on at the end of the regular season.

Just don't touch sacks.EWURanger wrote:Dp.
Will we have our first Payton and Heisman winner?93henfan wrote:Congrats to Heinicke! A great athlete and even better person.
I'm really going to miss that guy next year.
Doubtful. I believe ODU is considered transitional FCS the next two years and I doubt he could overcome that label, let alone the fact that he will be facing much tougher competition the next two years on a team without the full complement of scholarships. It's an uphill battle.Cluck U wrote:Will we have our first Payton and Heisman winner?93henfan wrote:Congrats to Heinicke! A great athlete and even better person.

Would be cool as hell though.
4,158 yds that is reason enough for him to win.93henfan wrote:Congrats to Heinicke! A great athlete and even better person.

No. Eddie Conti set the record in 1998, when playoff stats didn't count.EWURanger wrote:I get that and recognize that 600 of his yards came in the playoffs.And I know that WR's don't win it but I would have thought his regular season stats would have been enough to at least make the list.

Also, I would need to check, but I'm fairly certain that the record Kaufman broke was also made during the playoffs.

Ok, fair enough. I still stand by my previous statement of him being one of the best offensive players in the FCS. Dude's a complete game-changer.Mvemjsunpx wrote:No. Eddie Conti set the record in 1998, when playoff stats didn't count.EWURanger wrote:I get that and recognize that 600 of his yards came in the playoffs.And I know that WR's don't win it but I would have thought his regular season stats would have been enough to at least make the list.

(After looking it up, I see Delaware didn't make the playoffs that year anyway).
No doubt, looking forward to seeing him play on Sunday instead of Saturday.EWURanger wrote:Ok, fair enough. I still stand by my previous statement of him being one of the best offensive players in the FCS. Dude's a complete game-changer.Mvemjsunpx wrote:
