Who won the awards!!
The Mountain West football season is in the books with just the conference title game left. That means the conference is handing out awards.
The player of the year award of the was a tough choice as the best teams in the league didn’t have a player there for the award.
Boise State had changes at quarterback and while George Holani was good he wasn’t great.
Fresno State’s Jake Haener missed multiple games under center making him a hard choice for player of the year.
The award went to Air Force running back Brad Roberts to become the rare non-QB to win the award.
