I don't wish to beat a dead horse, but I want to clarify a point that I tried to make earlier. The following is a quote from the Award's website:
Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award ®
2018 Voting Guidelines
"For the 12th consecutive year, the Davey O'Brien Fan Vote is an integral component of the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award. In 2018, fans are invited to vote for their favorite quarterback once daily at VoteOBrien.org.
The Fan Vote counts as 5% of the process during each round of voting by combining with the results from the Davey O'Brien National Selection Committee. Fans are invited to cast their vote for the nation's best quarterback throughout the entire process, as the Fan Vote totals are cleared after each voting round.
Members of the Selection Committee, which consists of former winners as well as media members throughout the country, are asked to vote for a NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) quarterback who embodies the attributes of football legend Davey O'Brien. As such, they are asked to evaluate each candidate on the criteria of his quarterback skills and athletic ability, academics, character, reputation as a team player, leadership and sportsmanship."
Those three guys must be f'n superstar people if they are ahead of Mason Fine based on an application of the above criteria!
Further affiant sayeth not.
