IMO I don't think a team that is on top only because other teams are beat up badly should get awards for it. (Cass City)
Besides, when was the last time a defensive player won the Heisman?
Some times a Linebacker may play offensive guard, but still be the best defensive player in the thumb. He is very valuable to his team as a guard but doesn't get the publicity a QB or RN gets on offense. If it is the same person that wins the offensive and defensive player of the year, great! Even better for him, but many times it may not be the same person and it would allow the opportunity for another player to get some well deserved recognition.
Listen, because teams like Reese and USA are having off years(some due to injury, some due to lack of turnout) does not undermine what other teams is doing. The Reese/Cass City game was early enough in the year where injuries did not completely take over that team.
I think Cass City and Scott Cuthrell deserve alot of credit for what was is being done over there. Do they get my team of the year vote? No. But you cannot take away from what they have done because of the failure of other teams.
