Bo Wallace won the Connerly trophy...

[camlock]

for what it's worth...sure Banks was excited...I fully expected Banks to win it. Possible 1st round and senior that's been nationally recognized at his position, really thought he'd win it.

[ScottyLee]

Ole bo lit banks up one more time.... First ole miss player to win it in like 6 years i think...

The Conerly Trophy lost all merit tonight.

[mshunter77]

How did Moncrief not win it?

The Conerly Trophy lost all merit tonight.

Agree.

How can they over look Banks and Moncreif?

16 INTs and you get a trophy... Sounds about right.

[hatchdaddy]

How did Moncrief not win it?

I'm a state fan but I agree, he's a beast.

[olemissduckhunter]

OM nominated Bo and not Moncrief, so he was not up for the award. I agree that Moncrief should have been nominated over Bo....but that does not change the fact that Banks is quite possibly one of the most overrated players in the SEC........Torched by every team with a winning record.....except for MTSU. With that being said...I also fully expected Banks to win it.

This is an abomination. The Connerly Trophy has lost all credibility

"Wallace, who has led the Rebels to a 6-6 record this year and their first bowl berth since 2009, passed for 2,843 yards with 19 touchdowns, ran for another 363 yards and eight touchdowns and scored a touchdown on a 25-yard pass reception while logging a cumulative 144.20 quarterback rating this year, one of the best in the SEC and among the top 40 in the nation. Wallace started every game for Ole Miss this year, and his 3,206 total offensive yards make him only the second player in school history to eclipse 3,000 yards in a season behind Eli Manning, who reached that total twice during his Ole Miss career. Wallace's eight rushing touchdowns are the most by a Rebel QB since Eli's father, Archie, in 1969. "............
Come on now, it's not like he was horrible! Mistakes? Yes absolutely that was obvious in state game. But the facts speak for themselves.....

No where in your facts were his 16 interceptions

How many did Eli throw then?

I didn't get to see much of the game but according to a coach, he said state played zone and when people talk about banks getting touched he wasn't even covering Moncreif but having to come to try and stop the pass. Not sure. Did banks play man up with Moncreif?

[hotty toddy]

Since the trophy has now lost all credibility , I have one question. Does Wallace have the worst stats and resume of anyone who ever won the trophy?

I haven't researched it but I bet Davis had similar numbers last year (maybe fewer int's). I bet there are others that have won with one stat category or more that was not outstanding.

Saying that all credibility is gone from the award sounds a little like sour grapes.

[OBoykin]

Wallace didn't pad his resume' with seven CREAMPUFFS in a row. Feed Moncrief.

Eli had 15 picks does that help your feelings? Bo's nowhere close to same league as Eli but I'd say out of those choices he's probly the best player. How could anybody that watched even part of the game say that banks isn't way overated?
