DEFENSIVE LINE

Not to be a homer, but how was Mond better than Bazelak?
Don’t think they were saying Mond was, they just didn’t want to put Bazelak on there twice.
Yeah, Bazelak wasn’t just the best Freshman of the week but he was the best Offensive Player of the Week. I’ll assume they were just trying to find a way to throw a bone in aTm’s direction for beating FLA.
Probably, or just got lazy and knew he was the easiest choice for Freshman of the Week and didn’t want to do some digging there.
How was Mond better than Corall??
How was Monday better than Corral who didn’t even get mentioned. Had 72 yds rushing over 360 yds passing and 4tds…
Yeah, against bama too.
I agree. Because of the big upset over Florida, Mond got the nod and more media attention. But having watched both games Corral was far better imo.
