Although Michael Floyd was unable to be a captain at any point this season due to the DUI arrest last winter, the senior was shown just how much he means to the team, as he was awarded the team MVP award at the Notre Dame Football Awards Show. It was an award voted on by the players.

A couple of things stood out to me as odd. Why don’t they change the name of the “Newcomer” awards? Having Fox and Gray win those was just odd. Gray is a senior, and Fox played quite a bit last year.
Fleming winning the lineman obthe year award was strange- but only because he is a linebacker. Hmmm…
And finally, I’m not sure if Kelly should wear more bowties, or never wear them again. Coin toss.
