When a football team goes 2-10 it is hard to find an MVP. In this day and age, where teams can basically schedule four wins in their non-conference, it is hard to reach double-digit losses as a Power Five conference team. There are 64 Power Five teams in America, and only Purdue, Kansas, and Oregon State lost as many as 10 games. Still, we did have one player that was consistently excellent throughout the season, even if the coaching staff was dumb enough to not give him the ball more.
