^^^ I'm surprised you posted this AP. Based on you're predictions of Furman's mediocrity?
No relation whatsoever. Roberto had a great day but unfortunately the defense had their worst dayi in history. ……and its your prediction, not you’re. :lol:

Now, there's an even bigger target on his back.

Roberto is a big back, but he slimmed down some this offseason and for 230+ lbs, is a lot faster than he looks.

The field vision has been outstanding. You don't expect a big guy like that to be able to stretch the zone and then cut up field and outrun folks.

Why does OL get no credit. ? Right FUBEAR. That’s is where the rubber meets the road. OL v DL. Just once I wish the awards would go an OL Unit or a guy with 9 pancake blocks. Roberto was great but our OL was also great !! Huge holes

I don’t know why I hold out hope. In SoCon the refs are atrocious. To hope for more credit to go to OL and DL is hoping beyond hope. LOL.

Anyway, I’ll say it - “ thanks to the big boys up front !!!!!!”

Not sure why you'd say that. Furman named the entire offensive line co-offensive players of the week.

It was a great game to see them playing as a unit. Remember, they have a new OL coach and things are coming together. Let's see them build on it at VMI and be a multi-threat offense against Chatty.

My mistake. Must be a Furman twitter feed or wherever. Glad to hear it!

SoCon named Roberto and Sochovka.

Nationally it’s Roberto. . You almost never see a national award for an OL. :?
