Anyone who saw the season-opening game between South Carolina and North Carolina State would have never thought a Wolfpack player would be named the top fantasy player in the ACC.

Obviously, one game does not a season make….and NC State QB Russell Wilson got the Wolfpack offense firing quite well as the season progressed….enough for Wilson (photo, thanks CollegeFootballFanatics)  to be named our 2009 Fantasy College Blitz – ACC Fantasy Player of the Year.

Wilson, a sophomore from Richmond, VA (Collegiate HS), threw for nearly 2800 yards and 27 TDs for the Wolfpack…and rushed for nearly 300 yards and 4 rushing TDs (all stats quoted are through November 21st games).   In 2008, Wilson, as a freshman, was on the ACC-All Fantasy team as the top fantasy QB in the conference.

This may come as a shock to fans of the Chicago Bears and the Miami Dolphins….

Dave Wannstedt is a genius.

The Pittsburgh head coach was the only one from a major college program to offer one special player a scholarship.  After the stellar season this player had, you get to be called a “genius”

That player, RB Dion Lewis, led the Panthers to one of their better seasons in years, and, Pitt was just seconds away from winning the Big East championship.  Lewis (photo, thanks IconSMI) also wins our 2009 Fantasy College Blitz – Big East Conference Fantasy Player of the Year.

The redshirt-freshman from Albany, NY (Blair Academy HS, NJ) rushed for nearly 1300 yards and scored 14 total TDs (stats quoted are through November 21st games), leading the Panthers to a 9-3 overall record and a 6-2 mark in the Big East.

It is safe to say, that, you can add another name to the long list of stellar QBs to come from Brigham Young University.

Joining such Cougar QB greats like Gifford Nielsen, Marc Wilson, Jim McMahon, Steve Young, Robbie Bosco, Ty Detmer, Steve Sarkisian, John Beck, et al…is current BYU signal-caller Max Hall, our 2009 Fantasy College Blitz – Mountain West Conference Fantasy Player of the Year.

Hall, senior from Mesa, AZ (Mountain View HS), repeats as our FCB – MWC Fantasy Player of the Year (2008 winner)…throwing for over 3200 yards and 28 TDs, and rushing for 2 more TDs (stats quoted through November 21st games).

“I wanna dump him…he is a bust“.

I heard a lot of this talk early in the 2009 season from fantasy players in regard to our WAC Fantasy Player of the Year.  I advised everyone concerned to stay with this player….he will eventually have a break-out season.

Nevada QB Colin Kaepernick (photo, thanks USA Today), our Fantasy College Blitz – Western Athletic Conference Fantasy Player of the Year, did not win the honor because he made this humble scribe look like a genius.  He wins the honor for being, arguably, the most productive player in college football for the last two-thirds of the season.

The junior from Turlock, CA (Pitman HS) Pistol-whipped his opponents, passing for 1734 yards and 16 TDs, and, rushing for another 1126 yards and scoring 16 TDs (stats quoted through November 21st games).   Kaepernick was also our 2008 FCB WAC Fantasy Player of the Year.

He just may be the top fantasy performer in 2009….

Houston QB Case Keenum (photo, thanks Scout.com) ripped up a multitude of defenses in 2009, and, not just in Conference USA…Keenum led the Cougars to upset wins over Big XII schools Oklahoma State and Texas Tech early in the season.  For his performance, Keenum is our Fantasy College Blitz 2009 Conference USA Fantasy Player of the Year.

Keenum, a senior from Abilene, TX (Wylie HS), threw for 4560 yards and 36 TDs, while rushing for an additional 3 TDs (stats quoted are through November 21st games).

Houston, who finished first in CUSA West, will face Air Force in the upcoming Armed Forces Bowl in Fort Worth, TX.
