I know it's early but does anyone have any thoughts on Ohio DII and DIII offensive and defensive players of the year candidates?

I know that I sound like a broken record on this guy. Right now though Germany Woods.

DIII- Player of the Year

Jeremy Murray - Mout Union OAC Rushing leader and scoring leader. 7.6 yards per carry , 157.6 yards per game and 14.8 points per game.

These two running backs Woods and Murray have a date on Saturday afternoon. We will see who will rise up!

d*** that is going to be a good game. Wish I could be there.

Jeremy Murray 26 carries 137 yards and aTD

Germany Woods 24 carries 63 yards and no TDs

Jeremy Murray had more net yards that did Heidleberg's team combined.

Final score 56-7

hard to argue with that. I haven't had the chance to see him. What kind of back is he as opposed the all time great kimic. Probably will get too see the machine on 11/26 in the playoffs. Very much looking forward too the valhalla of college football and also catch the otterbein-mt. union basketball game afterwards.

For DIII Defensive Player of the Year, Derron Hamilton, Baldwin Wallace Defensive End,#93

11 Sacks after 6 Games, Leads DIII in this category.

13.5 tackles for loss, 2nd in all of DIII in this category.

D2 Offensive Player of the Year

DJ Mendenhall QB (Urbana) - The stats speak for themselves. Going into today's game against Seton Hill. Mendenhall has a 152.67 Efficiency Rating based off a 63.3 completion rating totaling 1648 yards for 183.3 ypg with 16 td's. Mendenhall is also a dual-threat QB. Mendenhall leads the team in rushing with 742 yards on a 138 attempts. This totals out 4.5 ypc and 9 TD's. Today against Seton Hill. Mendenhall had 13 carries for 69 yards with 2 tds, he passed for 313 yards with two tds, and had a receiving td.

D2 Defensive Player of the Year

Juan McKeever DB (Urbana) - once again amazing stats. Going into today's game McKeever has 79 tackles for with 3.5 have those coming for a loss. He also has 3 interceptions for a total runback of 110 yards including a 98 yard pick six. Other miscellaneous stats include 10 pass breakups and 2 recovered fumbles on 2 forced fumbles.

I will biasedly throw ny kids name into the ring for Offensive D3, for this year of 2011.

66 Catches

1133 Yards for 17.16 per catch for total 9 TD's

2138 all purpose yards

on a 3-7 team being double teamed each day out there.

He led the OAC in yds per game, all purpose yardage, KO return yardage and yds per catch (minimum of 40 catches) was second in catch per game and punt return average.

11th in country yds per game  and 3rd in country in all purpose, at this point.

Trey Fairchild Otterbein

he looked pretty good this year jerry, never saw him drop one ball. That is something I can't say about wittenberg's receivers on saturday. They dropped al lot and if they had held onto a few more like your boy they might be in the playoffs.

david

Thanks, David. He had a solid year and year and I was very proud. All he talked about was trying to get wins. In a couple of his lower stat games, he was used primarily as a decoy so we could run the ball better and our RB was in the 150 range. He never complained.

He could for sure be considered for this type of award, but I am biased as I said before.
