Boston College's Bobby Swigert On 2011 Biletnikoff Award Preseason Watch List

PrintPreseason college football watch list week rolls on with the unveiling of the 2011 Biletnikoff Award watch list, which identifies 75 of the nation's top wide receivers.
Boston College's Bobby Swigert is one of them.
Swigert had 39 receptions for 504 yards and four touchdowns in his freshman campaign, all team highs in 2010. But is he the best receiver on the team?
You could certainly make the case that Swigert is and I wouldn't argue with you. But really, any of Colin Larmond Jr., Alex Amidon, Clyde Lee or Johnathan Coleman could be considered the best at wide out on the roster. It's hard to say who will lead the Eagles in 2011 given Larmond Jr. returns, Rettig will continue to improve and the fact that BC will be playing with an OC who can stay awake for four quarters.
More than many other positions, projecting who will have the best year at WR seems to be a bit of a crapshoot. That's the only real explanation for the inclusion of UConn's Michael Smith on this year's watch list, who is academically ineligible to play in 2011. Then again, I suppose that's why the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation includes 75 players on the preseason watch list.

That list should read
Justin Blackmon and everyone else.
That guy had an unbelievable year last year. Anyone who outperforms him should get the award.
Best Win So Far
I was interested in hearing you guys weigh in on the issue of the most impressive win so far with Spaz as head coach. A few options are Florida State (2009, finished 7-6), Central Michigan (2009, hey it was ranked sometime that year), Clemson (2010, finished 6-7), or Syracuse (2010, finished 8-5). Hopefully in the upcoming year we get a clear cut winner such as a win against Notre Dame, Virginia Tech, Florida St., or Miami (all of them would be preferable). Maybe a poll could even be made of this question?
Not a BC fan (LOL BC), but I absolutely love the idea of having a big guy like Swiggert fielding punts. I did not realize he did this until I was watching the bowl game last season. I dunno if any of you stat guys care to tackle this project, but I would like to see a comparison on how many net yards Swiggert gained on punts compared to the shifty little guys who some times take a fair catch instead of chancing their bell getting rung. Swiggert obviously does not have that worry.
