 The semi-final was in gorgeous Pasadena at the Rose Bowl. We got absolutely pasted by TCU. Moving on
+==== Team Awards ====
+=== Team MVP ===
+How is this a question? Brandon Savage. The man was the HEISMAN TROPHY winner and put up ungodly numbers in 13/15 games this season. We are so lucky as a program to have signed him. I can't sing his praises high enough and I'm absolutely sure 75% of coaches around the league are sick of hearing about him. Too bad. Final season stats: 6649 yards, 52 TDs.
+=== Offensive POTY ===
+see: MVP. Savage is the obvious choice. Nobody else moved the needle outside the WR room and they had too many cooks.
+=== Defensive POTY ===
+ILB JT Adams was the absolute lynchpin of our defense. As an A- overall run stopper he helped man the front-7 in a defense that was excellent all year against the run (TCU game aside). By far the team leader in tackles along with 25 TFLs, 1 strip-sack, 2 INTs, and a safety. We will miss him dearly.
+=== Freshman of the Year ===
+There were not a lot of freshmen who played, and only 2 true freshmen recorded any stats at all: DE Roger London (5 tackles, 1 FF before redshirting after game 4), and QB Mark Koch (22/34 197 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT in 3rd string mop-up duty). This award though goes to RS FR Doug Dimmadome Jr. Son of Doug Dimmadome owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome. DDJr was 5th on the team with 4 TFLs, 2 sacks, and a FR as he established himself as a valuable DL rotational member.

+=== Highlights ===
+This was a pretty good class on the whole, in a totally different way from the last 2 classes. We went away from hunting for a ton of blue chip depth and went hard for top-shelf impact players. In contrast to last years 2/11 blue chip flip results, we went something like 7/10 this season which felt AMAZING by the way. Highly recommend. 5 5-stars on offense is an absolutely absurd haul and I cannot wait to see this class show up on the field with a 5-star QB, 2 WRs, 2 OL, a B overall RB signee, and 2 5-star OLs. On defense, coach sweezy's nephew (5-star OLB Tee Sweezy) was the jewel of the class although we also signed a few other impact defenders. We also picked up the #1 K prospect in the class and a future punter.
+Awaiting early enrollee decisions, David France, Tee Sweezy, and B.J. Flash have the potential to challenge for snaps as true freshmen. Everyone else is in line for redshirts.
