Sefo. He meant everything to this team.

Should be part of the poll along with Olugbode & Gilbert.
Ask and you shall receive.
Similar to MVP conversation in the NFL. Too many moving pieces on defense to suggest that any one player was the overall team "MVP", IMO. If I could take one position group or unit, I would say the Secondary was the MVP.
I went with Chido. What sticks with me is when Tedric had a big INT to seal one of our wins he said in the post-game that Chido told him what was coming and, sure enough, TT jumped the route for the win. Gave me the impression that Chido was the leader of that secondary.
The team because they became one. I can't vote for an individual when these guys came together. Hope it continues.

The defense as a whole.
I was going to vote for Nik, based on his ability to defecate ****ty game previews, but he struggled toward the end of the year. So, I voted for Burrito. He does what MVP's do. He makes everyone around him better...by comparison.
You're welcome. My selflessness knows no bounds.
Damn good argument
If he does not come back from his injury, then Montez gets to prepare and play the entire season, probably without injuries. I would argue that with the defense doing what it did, and leaning more on running, I believe that the same overall record would have been achieved or maybe even one game better. Not to mention that the program would be in an amazing position the next 3 years with an experienced starter that gets to work with the most talented skill players we have ever had (Lindsay/Fields/Bobo/Ross). I appreciate what Sefo has done for the program, just like many of the kids that have worked hard and suffered through the lean times, but the next step for this program is incremental talent increases, and Montez is far more talented than Sefo. I have started to rewatch many of this years games and I hate to say that Sefo is an incredibly inaccurate passer. Probably the most inaccurate I have watched in 20 years. Montez is not way better because Sefo has valuable experience, but Montez would have gotten that and his upside would just keep on going.
I voted for Lindsay and would have had co-MVP's in Lindsay and Thompson because of the superior level of production that those two had. 22 of those types of guys with that type of effort would put us in the playoffs!!!
Without Sefo's leadership, this team does NOT win 10 games, let alone 11. I give you this year's BBall team as an example.
Montez, while athletically more gifted, still does not have the ability to read defenses the way Sefo did. Yes, he would have progressed, but I think Stanford and Utah would have chewed him up. Washington showed what they'd do to him. Yes, he would have progressed as the season went, but I don't think enough to matter.
Give him an offseason as the #1, we'll see. I'm still not 100% convinced he's our starter at game 4 next year.
