Hang on a sec...how does ANGELO get the best defensive performance for beating MSU (a team who doesn't have a lot of offense) when ACU held ENMU to under HALF their ypg average? Cmon....

Seriously? ACU's offense who gave ENM's offense 21 points got best offensive performance and ACU's defense who held them to 300 yards, including -11 yards rushing (half of their ypg game average) didn't get anything? WOW!

C'mon no ACU player for defensive player of week? This is a joke. Why have the award if it doesn't go to a Wildcat every week?
