2018 Verbal: Trey Lance

[bison_by_blood]

Not unless the voters want them to be and post their ballots themselves. I've already seen a few out there publicly. Craig Haley (STATS) voted Thomson from Sac St 1st and Trey Lance 5th. Jamie Williams (College Sports Journal) also voted Thomson 1st and didn't have Lance in his top 5. I didn't hear their top 5 but I've heard that Brian McLaughlin and Sam Herder (HERO Sports) both voted Lance 1st but I would assume they had Thomson quite high also.

The main hurdle to Lance winning it IMO is the fact that some voters like the College Sports Journal guy won't have him in their top 5 because he's a freshman or because he plays for the most dominant program in the subdivision (he claimed the latter as his reasoning for omitting Lance in the article he wrote about his ballot) so it'll take 3 or 4 other voters to offset that one voter because no one is going to have a guy like Thomson any lower than 3rd or so. That's why I'm convinced that Thomson will win it.

The HERO guys, one had Thomson 3rd, the other not on the ballot.

Thomson had a good season, but he seems to be getting a large boost from the success of his program whereas Trey is getting dinged for the success of NDSU.

If he hadn't gotten hurt, I ponder where J'bore Gibbs would figure in the balloting.

Has anyone heard if fbs teams are looking at trey as a transfer? Someone I work with had mentioned he heard Oklahoma was going to go after him but I haven’t seen anything myself? Personally with Wentz going 2 overall I don’t see much of a benefit and way more risk to do that. Just curious if there was any truth to that rumor

Good story. The publisher of Forbes Magazine since 1998 is Rich Karlgaard from Bismarck. His father, Dick, was an athletic director in Bismarck.

Honestly, I don't think Wyoming really won that game. Too many penalties. I'm not going to comment on the refs, not my job to do that. But trick plays, they'll probably tell you we outphysicaled them.
