Earlier this month the Mid-American Conference released its All-MAC honors, and to no surprise, BG linebacker Dwayne Woods was a part of those honors.
Woods was named second team All-MAC, but really, he should have been named first-team.
How could the league put Woods on the second team when he led the conference with 134 tackles in 12 games?
How could it not put a guy on the first team when he recorded six tackles for a loss, 2.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, seven pass breakups and two interceptions?
How could it do that when Woods' 134 tackles were the 13th most in school history and were tied for sixth in the country?
It doesn't make any sense.
Just a sophomore, Woods solidified himself as the Falcons' best defender in 2010, having at least seven tackles in all 12 games while recording double-digit tackles in six of those games. He also had a career-high 20 tackles against Buffalo and had eight tackles and returned a 78-yard interception return for a touchdown in a win against Marshall.
Not bad for a guy who had just 24 tackles a year ago and is replacing the likes of former Falcon linebackers Cody Basler and P.J. Mahone.
Yes, BG went 2-10 this season, but the MAC should have recognized Woods for his stellar performance on the field.
Maybe it's good that Woods is just a sophomore. He still has two more years to prove to the league it should have considered him first-team All-MAC.
