Redemption from last year's total snub. In 2021, the Committee must have been watching The Scent of a Woman where protagonist Al Pacino was BLIND. LOLOL Bowers does not need my accolade, he is the proven nation's top TE....congratulations!
Bowers had higher yards per catch, yards per touch, yards per play, total yards and the same number of TD’s as Mayer… against SEC competition. The guy with the better stats won the award. Don’t tell me about Mayer’s blocking ability or PFF numbers. You would expect players on a team with ND’s talent level to show out and put up big numbers especially against a schedule that includes Marshall, Cal, UNC, BYU, Stanford, UNLV, Cuse, Navy and BC. You have to play more than 3 opponents a year to qualify for national awards; the Mackey Voters agreed.
Bowers didn't need the Mackey award, the Mackey award needed him! Go Dawgs!
