The Holding Out Hope Award
Winner: Seven McGee (Troy Franklin, Moliki Matavao also got votes)
(Previous Winner: Mycah Pittman, which…LOL)
Zachary Neel: We’ve got a split decision here. My vote is for WR Troy Franklin, who I think has all the intangibles to be a great player at Oregon, we are just waiting for him to put it all together. However, I will happily go with Don’s vote for Seven McGee. He has flashed, and in a slot-receiver role, I think he can really get going. I’m holding out hope that we see him get some big production in the last two games of the year.
Don Smalley: Seven McGee. I’m really anxious to see how Joe Moorhead uses his unique talent. McGee has the chance to be that X-factor that wasn’t there in the first game against the Utes.
Andy Patton: McGee is of course a great pick here, but I’m excited to see if freshman tight end Moliki Matavao will get more involved in these next few games. He’s been a steady presence as a blocker and scored a touchdown way back against Ohio State. Perhaps he’ll have a nice impact against Utah and in the Rose Bowl.
