    Gardner not on here is a joke. Has carried the UM offense. I'd take him over any QB in the conference.

    Funchess was not even a GOOD TE, let alone all-conference. He's better at WR, where he is solid.

    I like Blake Countess ... but in terms of "buzz" he's been relatively quiet since the early games. That may be because teams are avoiding him and targeting the other corner. What's the sense there ... is Blake a legitimately good CB relative to other top-flight CBs in the Big 10 and elsewhere?

      Blake looks to me to be slightly slower than pre-injury. He is still very effective, but there's a reason he is playing more nickel than straight CB. And the nickel guys have a harder time getting accolades. Guessing he will be like new next season.

      It's more than just speed . His agility isnt quite back yet seems like he doesn't completely trust his knee yet maybe.

    They have Nate Sudfeld as the first team QB, Saturday I'd have rather had Tre Roberson.

    Scheelhaase on the second team and Hackenberg, third

    Gallon had more receiving yards last game than Quincy Enunwa has had all season, yet Enunwa is on first team and Gallon is on second.
