Yeah I agree, personally I'm a Trevathan fan. I thought it was horse shite he didn't make the cut and Upshaw did. I think Upshaw has about 100 less tackles, 3.5 more sacks and 3 less INTs. But at the end of the day he made the cut for the award and that makes his resume stronger.



Seriously? I guess the fact that Alabama has one hell of a front seven doesn't make tackles hard to come by. Or maybe the insane amount of three and outs doesn't decrease the amount of opportunities for creating a possible tackle. Plus, Upshaw is a Jack LB. He's lined up at DE as much, if not more, than he is at LB.

This. Honestly when you sit down and watch Upshaw play he is the closet thing I've seen to a college version of James Harrison but he doesn't put up insane stats due to the ridiculous amount of talent around him on that defense. Trevathan is forced to make plays, he is in a sense the defense for UK. Meanwhile Bama is like a ton of sharks smelling blood and fighting each other for the next big play.
