That's an injustice IMO.
Yes I hate OM, but him not being invited isn't right. Expect the same happen to Rogers due to the lack of media coverage & market size of Mississippi.
That is a bit shocking to be honest. Especially since they took the kid from Pitt over him. I may not like Corral, but the kid won 10 games in the SEC. IMO he deserved an invite. If we beat Memphis and Arky then Will is in that conversation and we would have raised 9 kinds of hell had he not been invited with his numbers.
I hate that school but the kid deserved it. Maybe Archie didn't want he and Eli overshadowed and he made some calls.
He wasn't quite the same after he injured his ankle. They had to rely more on their RBs and he didn't really have any other games where he lit teams up through the air.
Still, he's a tremendous talent at QB, and I am more than glad to see him go.
This goes back to my comments on another thread about promotion and marketing. Even though Corral isn't invited he (and Ole Miss) was talked about every week when the Heisman was discussed because he was promoted up front as a pre season candidate. He stayed in the discussion even after his numbers fell off - because he was already in the conversation and because Ole Miss was winning.
Mississippi State needs to push hard for Rogers to be in the pre season Heisman talk and not worry about how it will look if he or the team doesn't play well.
And for the record I think Corral is getting screwed by not being invited to NY.
Haha
You have WAY too much faith in what is left of the marketing department that was built up under Byrne and Stricklin. It is actually impressive how fast Cohen has torpedoed that department. Will could throw for 50 TDs and 2 INTs next year but we will still be pimping a Tanner Allen HR two years after the fact. He is very good when it comes to all things baseball. He is equally as bad when it comes to every other sport on campus.
3 QBs and a DE. Michigan?s Hutchison has been putting up insane defensive numbers just like Will Anderson did from bama. However we all know the REC is going to put in the work at the end of the year and give it to B Young.
However I do remember seeing ESPN people getting all hot and fuzzy over pre heisman talk with Costello after the LSU game. That lasted all but a hot second.
It was clear he wasn't going the last 3rd of the season. He didn't put up the numbers to hold serve despite still playing well. Similar to Dak running out of steam in 2014
It's hard to justify Stroud over Corral imo but I'd give it to Will Anderson if I was voting.
