2. Total Offense (408.3 yards per game) – QB Garrett Gilbert, SMU
The big names aren’t far behind with Fresno State’s David Carr No. 2 averaging 390 yards per game, Johnny Manziel is No. 3 and Sean Mannion No. 4, but it’s Gilbert who’s the only player in America bringing over 400 yards per outing helped by a 538-yard passing day against Temple and a 498-yard effort against Rutgers. While he’s not a Manziel-like runner, he came up with 97 yards on the ground against the Owls and is always good for positive yards.

The former superstar, can’t-miss, No. 1 overall recruit never found his groove at Texas, and he was shaky over the first part of last year, but he limited his mistakes and got better as 2012 went on. Now he’s turning into an elite playmaker who can do a little of everything right. The light has gone on in the June Jones offense, and the 3-4 Mustangs need him to do even more to push for a bowl bid.

Glad he's getting recognized for putting the team on his back.

gg is doing a great job but someone is catching those passes. our overall passing game is vastly improved over last year. kudos to the wrs also.

And he has done well against some pretty solid teams like TTU and A$M. I hope Cincy allows him the opportunity to improve on his numbers and winning percentage.

Well deserved for a great kid, outstanding player, and a great family. Mom and dad a good folks. I'm also glad he is making many on this board who wanted him gone, eat their words. Funny how coming off shoulder surgery, learning a new system and players can take a little time.

For the record, I said before the season started that he'd be all conference.

How many games have we won?

He does not play "D", special teams, punt, kick, block, catch etc. If you can not see the vast improvement he has made from mid season last year to now ... you are not being truthful. Has anyone on this this board been an elite QB coming off shoulder surgery (dealing with all that entails), jumping into a new system, new players and the feel that requires? He started clicking mid-season and has not looked back. Most wanted him gone after 3 games, and the garbage comments being thrown at him ... wow. If you are going to judge him on team "W"s (the popular thing to do), and look at the total picture, and what a huge diff he has made since then .... OK, knock yourself out.

Someone tell Case Keenum his first two games as the Texans starter were terrible, because he is 0-2. Even though he set an NFL record for QB rating in a players first two career starts. Some folks think the quality of MLB picture is his Won-Lost ... not hardly.

correction .... and NOT look at the total picture.
