The Young MAC
Posted: Mon Nov 20, 2006 2:20 pm
I have heard alot from the coaches about how young we are. But the MAC as a whole is very young. I took a look at stats leaders in the MAC and the league is not lead my very many Seniors. What I find is mostly Freshman and Sophomores. The MAC will not graduate many skill players this year. This could be a sign of the times. Could we be looking at the MAC flexing its muscles over the next 2-3 years and getting some great OOC wins.
Here are the leaders and what class they are in:
Of course I had to go to the top 12 in receiving to get Corey on the list. The MAC does graduate 6 of its top 12 receivers, but the other categories have very few seniors. It is very interesting to see how young all the QBs are in the MAC.
It seems alot of the teams in the MAC have been relying on young players. Not just BG. I do believe that we have used more overall than anyone else, except for Temple.
Here are the leaders and what class they are in:
