NCAA decides to count stats from western game!
That adds linebacker Brandon Herron's two defensive touchdowns to the record book, a performance which earned him national defensive player of the week honors.
It also validates Robinson's 140 total yards, Toussaint's 80 yards and two touchdowns and Jordan Kovacs' 10 tackles and two sacks.

Well then I'm beat by the system.
November 30th, 2011 at 6:30 PM ^
Now you know how Boise State feels...

The NCAA is always a day late and a dollar short!
November 30th, 2011 at 6:36 PM ^
....that shitty weather is not the fault of the teams involved. I wondered if they would ever reverse that decision, seeing as the ADs agreed to the outcome and the conferences count the stats.
(Comment from soon-to-be-axed thread)
November 30th, 2011 at 6:37 PM ^
yea now that i think of it, those stats may have cost kovacs his shot at big honors.
November 30th, 2011 at 6:49 PM ^
make their way into the computers that might help decide the BCS standings?
November 30th, 2011 at 7:02 PM ^
Yea, I always wonder if they had the stats for the WMU game in the compyters.
November 30th, 2011 at 7:06 PM ^
Are there actually computers making these calculations or are there people actually making these lists?
November 30th, 2011 at 6:51 PM ^
I assume the bcs wasn't taking into account the western game? If thats the case then will that extra win help us a little bit?(If that game was already taken into account then this question doesn't matter)
November 30th, 2011 at 6:57 PM ^
This will have no effect on BCS standings. The NCAA had only been discounting the stats, not the outcome. The poll voters and computer rankings don't care about stats and were already including the Western result in their rankings.
November 30th, 2011 at 6:57 PM ^
The win itself counted for all things a win counts for, but the stats from the win did not. AFAIK
November 30th, 2011 at 7:00 PM ^
Im happy for Herron.
November 30th, 2011 at 8:45 PM ^
i.e. Fitz is officially a 1000-yard rusher?
November 30th, 2011 at 11:30 PM ^
I believe so
November 30th, 2011 at 10:45 PM ^
Does anyone know if Herron eligble for a medical redshirt? I was hoping he would be if the game "didn't" count, but my thoughts are that even if it counts, he still could get another year.
Thoughts anyone?
November 30th, 2011 at 11:23 PM ^
Considering that he would likely be somewhere around 4th on the depth chart and Hoke can apparently pull in nearly 30 highly touted recruits in a year, I can't fathom a scenario where the coaching staff would grant him a fifth year even if the NCAA allowed it.
November 30th, 2011 at 11:26 PM ^
Whoops. Herron's already on his fifth year.
November 30th, 2011 at 11:51 PM ^
I think there was barely a minute left in the 3rd quarter when the game was called. Maybe if the quarter was just starting, things would be different. But who knows what the NCAA thinks?
I'm happy to take the stats, though.
December 1st, 2011 at 1:26 AM ^
Wish Vegas would think similarly!! I had Michigan covering all day!
December 1st, 2011 at 5:18 AM ^
Always thought that it was bizarre that they would count the win but not the stats.
Anyway here's a link to Fitz Toussaint's stats:
http://web1.ncaa.org/mfb/playerDetail.jsp?yr=2011&org=418&player=28
so yup 1011 yards on the year.
December 1st, 2011 at 7:14 AM ^
I don't feel so bad for Herron now.
December 1st, 2011 at 8:15 AM ^
ESPN writes article but they still have not updated the stats on their website. derpin' a derpty doo.
December 1st, 2011 at 9:10 AM ^
I just want to notify everyone that I almost posted this same thread...because I didn't see it on the front page. Well, I figured, maybe I should search it to avoid the SIAP tag. Yup. Here lies the same thread.
Yes, I'm patting myself on the back - it feels good.
December 1st, 2011 at 5:30 PM ^
1. Idea for a new thread.
2. To post or not to post, that is the question!
3. Thorough site search.
4. Proceed according to results.
5. Profit.
