I guess peppers has everyone but osu and msu fans fooled. D player of the year, linebacker of the year and returner of the year. Lewis wins best defensive back award. 4 first team selections for UM.

Lewis should win the Thorpe as well.

Just saw a tweet that ALL 11 defensive starters were honored. That's impressive

Freep had an article that this was the first time MSU was shut out of the 1st team under Dantonio. not a single MSU player made it.

I love me some Peppers, but Lewis should have won the award over him. From a raw defensive perspective, Peppers is good but he gets caught out of position and ton and had multiple occasions (especially in the Iowa game) where he tried to arm tackle.

Lewis is the best defensive player on this team.

Exactly how I see it as well. I love Peppers, but Lewis is better. Hoping Lewis ends up on the Pats.

I don't think McDowell(2nd team) and definitely Bullough(3rd team) should have been named either. I can't think of 1 player that truly deserved a vote not named LJ Scott. Some of the younger players were playing well late, but nobody on that team deserved any recognition.

M did not win the team award that matters most. I know there is a connection between individual awards and team achievement, but the season fell short for me, though the program is on a upward trajectory, even with the loss of 40+ seniors.

BTC matters more than a Natty? Because that is still on the table.

You can control the B1G championship. The National Championship, not as much. Even now. I mean, the B1G champion might not get in the playoff.

Nothing yet, most expect him gone.

He's predicted as a top 5 pick. He's gone.
