If Trask doesn't win, there's someone who definitely has some answering to do for it: Mullen.
We wasted much of the Kentucky and Tennessee games with vanilla, conservative playcalling and wasted the opportunity to get to 40+ points in both those games.
Trask's numbers as of now are impressive enough already...imagine them with another 2-3 passing TDs and another 150-200 yards through the air. He'd have had the award locked up before Atlanta and while Jones out-dueled him on the scoreboard, Trask would have the better numbers overall and certainly more than held his own in the game itself (with Jones having the benefit of superior talent).
I criticized Mullen for failing to get Trask his 3-4TDs vs Kentucky and said that was a missed opportunity to cement Trask as the frontrunner. Now it looks like it cost him the chance at the award itself. Color me disappointed in Mullen and gutted for Trask, who's more than deserving of the award, but likely won't get it.
