Mathews named nominee for Bushnell POY award

[Ken711]

Going to be close between Mathews and Schwieger. Schwieger being a senior and unanimous All-Ivy selection may have the edge.  Hopefully, they'll consider co-Player of the Year awards as they did last year.

Reads to me like there are always two winners:  one for offense; one for defense.  Schweiger won the "offense" award last year.

There were co-offensive POY awards last year, Schwieger and Harvard running back Gino Gordon.

Thanks.  Mathews deserves at least a share, given the numbers he's put up breaking Ivy single-game and season passng records.

Was there even a second credible running back to take votes away from Schweiger? If not, I wouldn't read to much into a voter making a preposterous choice at QB.

Still waiting for a late-season surge away from Cornell in the direction of Steele Stanwick. Or Barbara Stanwyck.

Bill you lost me on this one?

The parallel is Steele Stanwick taking POY away from Rob Pannell on the strength of the UVA national title.

I see, thanks.  It's honor to be nominated for Mathews and what he meant to the team's improvement.  Again, I believe his best chance (given the underclassman bias that the voting seems to take) is to share the POY award with the senior Schweiger.

... which, of course, makes it not even remotely a parallel, since there were no playoffs for Schwieger to make a late surge and Dartmouth didn't win any title.

All hail Jeff Mathews. Congratulations, it was well deserved.

"Cornell's three previous Bushnell Cup Award winners are Ed Marinaro, who was a two-time winner (1970, 71), Derrick Harmon (1983) and Chad Levitt (1996)."

Great to have a Cornell winner as a sophomore!  Now we have 2 more years to continue to build a championship program around Mathews to bring Cornell an Ivy football championship.

And find some defense.

Can't argue with you there.  Be nice to see some more size on the DL.
