Tiger 8,822 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I'm surprised Coates was on 2nd team while Duke was left off. Seemed like Duke was or best WR this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnfootball08 0 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Maybe Duke should come back another year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These awards are meaningless anymore. If your year, as an individual player, has been great, you should get awarded. Most of these awards go to players on a winning team.

wakeriderof87 31 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I guess Sammie got the nod because of his ridiculous YPC average. But not having Duke mentioned at all is absolutely insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinForAuburn 128 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I think Sammie and Duke were vastly underutilized this season. Deandrew White of bama caught 37 passes despite Cooper catching 115! Coates only caught 30 to Dukes 45. The two games Duke missed, Sammie caught 5 passes combined.

NoALtiger 3,852 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 So Duke didn't even warrant an honorable mention? Wow, something is bad wrong with that. It's also pretty disappointing that Nick couldn't muster any post season award recognition. A lot was made of him being the first returning QB Gus has ever had at the college level, I'm sure it's not the season he was hoping for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also pretty disappointing that Nick couldn't muster any post season award recognition. A lot was made of him being the first returning QB Gus has ever had at the college level, I'm sure it's not the season he was hoping for. The entire offense wasn't what we were hoping with. Marshall looked "bad" for the most part of the first half of the season aside from the LSU game. And then he had a string of bad performances against Georgia and Samford. It doesn't stop with him though. THE OL was just as bad in the same span of time, and rarely gave the RBs enough of a push to go through any holes. Along with that Sammie was about as up a down player as any I've ever seen and rarely did anyone aside from Duke/Coates get enough looks to consistently blame them. I guess it is nice though that 5,870 yards is a down year for us though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I homer for our players that are actually good but objectively I really think Marshall is better than both those guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CameronCrazy 1,059 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I expect Duke to be 1st team next year if he returns. I also expect to see Montavious Adams, Carl Lawson, Trey Matthews, Kris Frost, Austin Golson, and Avery Young on that list next year. A healthy Alex Kozan will make the list as well.

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,662 Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Marshall just didn't have the stats or as many dominating WINS. Looking back, most of Nick's great performances came in L's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charleston Tiger 134 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I know SCar throws more. but why is Pharaoh first team ? Because without Pharoah their offense would've been practically anemic. He played QB in HS so was able to do a lot of wild-cat sets for them where he is a legitimate throwing threat, and losing Connor Shaw last year for Dylan Thompson left them with a far-less mobile quarterback. So you get the threat to run as a realistic issue for a defense, as well as decent accuracy throwing. If he wasn't such a good receiver (and sometimes PR and KR) then he'd have arguably been a better option at quarterback than Dylan. Took DT til halfway through the Clemson game to remember to try to throw the ball away if you're outta the pocket so you don't take the sack or risk the INT. Without Pharoah Cooper, you lose pretty much all efficiency in your offense if you're South Carolina. Bottom Line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know, I really didn't see much of him aside from him weaving through Auburn and South Carolina's defenses (who hasn't) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
