Mediocre teams teams that are quite often trying to make a second half comeback and are more often than not forced to sling the ball all over the place in a panic. Not a well oiled machine like the Bison who built the team on run first, control the clock, and good defense. These "TYPICAL" winners of such awards tend to be a one man show on their teams (or side of the ball at the very least). Not like NDSU which has a total package for the most part in every phase of the game. It is my guess that voters for such awards are usually looking to spread the wealth, and are more concerned with making everyone feel good about themselves by ensuring that every kid gets a participation trophy. There is a reason why NDSU does not put names on the backs of the jerseys, the name on the front is what matters the most.
From the movie THE PROGRAM
Regent Chairman: This is not a football vocational school. It's an institute for higher learning.
Coach Winters: Yeah, but when was the last time 80,000 people showed up to watch a kid do a damn chemistry experiment? Why don't you stick the bow-tie up your ass?
