Such a shame! Sampson putting up amazing stats and he is not playing full games! If he had more touches his stats would be off the charts! Just insane for no recognition! I really hope the Vols make the playoffs and Sampson just shows out!
I know how you feel. Cam Ward has carried the team on his back all year. But You know what a terrific part that Sampson has been to the team like ward at Miami. He will play on Sunday and y'all should be proud he played in the Orange. Like I know y'all are.
For everyone screaming that SEC has to go to 9 conference games let this year set you straight. Everything that is voted on from awards to playoff standing don’t give a rip about strength of schedule. So to add one more game against our conference just makes it easier to exclude the SEC teams because we eat our own.
I'm almost more excited to see Bishop and Lewis get more reps next Year. Lewis is just a beast and no matter when they put him in he has such enthusiasm you can see it on TV. Love watching him run straight over defense players
Not only should he be a Walker finalist, I think he should have chance at SEC Player of the Year. Sampson will forever be a legend in big orange country. I would be extatic if he came back next year. I hope he goes beastmode against Vandy and leads us to a Natty.
The SEC only has 2 1000 yard rushers . The other power conferences and the mountain west all have atleast 4. Try to tell me yards aren’t harder to come by in the SEC.
I completely agree with everything you’re saying about D Samp. He definitely needs to be in the nominations. I am curious how many fumbles the other players had. Do you think that played a roll in the decision making? Asking just for topic of conversation.
@ based off all other voting committees I would not put it passed them. 😂 Jokes aside. I honestly believe had he played as many minutes early in the season as he did late we probably wouldn’t even be having the conversation.
Sampson is illusive to even the spectator. He just magically gets yards and touchdowns! He’s excellent!!! Definitely snubbed, like most Tennessee talent. Peyton. Johnny majors, it goes way back.
What a freaking joke that Doak Walker Committee is! Sampson certainly deserves to be on that list! The guy set all kinds of records for the Vols! Seems like the Vols get zero respect!
Blame Tennessee's coaching staff for not allowing him to run up his stats on the cupcake schools. It's all about the numbers, same with the QB stats for the Heisman.
1,307 yards, 5.7 ypc and 22 TDs. He'll likely end up with 1500-1550 yards. He could be a little more productive as a receiver, but he's become an excellent every down back.. not being on that award list is a head scratcher
Well the number of Vol fans in Nashville does makeno different in the Vols scoring. Saturday the place was all orange yet Vols didn't move the ball until the 2nd quarter. Get it going Offense
Apparently the Johnny Majors curse lives on. Tennessee never will have a Heisman Trophy winner or get a fair shake from any subjective decision for anything. Still waiting for the next defensive player to win the Heisman. The only way Tennessee will ever get anything is go undefeated. And just to safe I’d suggest never letting your foot off the gas.
It's time for Coach H to stand up at these press conferences and start to sell the University of Tennessee and it's players. I get being conservative and playing things close to the vest but the media has now changed. Go Vols
@@RavenEsty96Also I don't think they've done enough of the flashy stuff. Big runs, exciting plays, Runs off the edge, toss sweeps, wheel routes, etc. The plays that make RBs like Saquan Barkley or Aston Jenty look great. All we do is run Samp right up the middle. To the voters I'm thinking they're looking for flash and all that stuff!!
I'm not surprised I haven't given any of these awards credit. When they screwed Payton out of the Heisman Trophy I was done caring about any of these awards.
The Old Guard of college football is afraid of tennessee. They are afraid we are going to change and shift the long established power dynamics of the sport. They should be.
Just go play in the no defense conference and get awards!😂-Sampson plays against top defenses every week!The others play elites none with Jenty plays none!
It's disgusting that Sampson isn't getting the recognition he deserves. He should either win or be tied at the final for the Doak and at least in NY for the Joke trophy. I truly hope he uses this as fuel. He seems the kind of guy to use adversity to his advantage. 200 and at least 2 tuddies vs Little Brother this weekend
How can leading rusher in best conference be left out ? And SEC is best conference , I know acc and big 10 have more teams in current playoff , but only because ole miss and others play each other , period look at NFL draft choices to who best conference is
He would be there if CJH didn’t pull him out so much against UTEP. He could have added 5-6 tds instead of just 1. Lewis and Davis vultured 4, if I remember correctly.
He's explaining it 😂!! They have more yards and more exciting bug plays than Sampson. Most of his runs are just simple runs up the middle and nothing more.
Everyone wants to pump up Jeanty. I get it, he’s good. But I can only imagine the kind of stats Sampson would be putting up if he were in a conference that wasn’t the SEC. Sampson has put up crazy numbers considering the defenses he’s done it against. Absolutely shameful and insulting to him that he wasn’t AT LEAST a finalist. I get they’d have to give it to Jeanty or people would have a meltdown, but Sampson deserved to be a finalist
Blame our OC and how we utilize the RBs. Every play is a run up the middle, which only gives opportunities for very few big, long exciting runs. We don't utilize him in the pass game much, we don't have any toss sweeps or wheel routes. Face it compared to other backs he's boring to watch because every play is right up the middle!
Cainer mispronounces every name pretty much every show and is trippin over fumbling Estrella lol EC you should have your own Key and Peel skit on sec players 😂
Johnson shouldn't be in I didn't even know him hope I don't get snagged for this but he needs to be replaced with Sampson think about the defenses we went up against
Thats really Josh Huepal fault for making him sit on the bench for long stretches especially in the beginning of the season. In whatever case he still wasnt winning it so lets just get a National Championship.
His stats make up for bench time regardless of what Heupel has done with him. Heupel may have a good reason for this, but there's not one damn person that can convince me that D-Sam doesn't belong on that list! Brother, that's a travesty to say the least and that's an understatement. Jeanty is the only one ahead and he plays cupcakes on a weekly! There's no excuse for this no matter the side of the fence you're on!
He needs the rest, that's why we have two other RBs. But at the same time all we do is run him up the middle! This wears a RB down alot more than most other plays.
He had to start taking some bench time he was being over used can’t expect him to stay healthy where he’s getting 25-30 plays in a single game over and over
I'm not saying "3 STAR U" and all that jazz, but I don't understand why we can't get a higher rated RB after how we've been running the ball the last few years.
I think the only reason why is because he isn't constantly breaking off long TD runs. And our play calling isn't giving him any style points either. It's just conservative runs up the middle over and over! Had we been giving him toss sweeps, pitch plays, wheels routes, and other half back passes then he would definitely be up there. Replace our OC or run package with Jenty's and Sampson would win it hands down!
Such a disgrace to not even be a finalist. We appreciate you Dylan GO VOLS
The Tennessee bias is very real

Is it run by ESPN? The same people that screwed Peyton Manning out of the Heisman.
Down with ESPN. Censor them.
Hopefully he stays healthy and can carry the vols into a championship, thats the best reward of all
What a snub insult! Eric--Great stats you gave on Dylan Sampson!
I'm almost more excited to see Bishop and Lewis get more reps next Year. Lewis is just a beast and no matter when they put him in he has such enthusiasm you can see it on TV. Love watching him run straight over defense players

Sampson uses this for motivation runs down Vandys throat with a 42-14 win Sampson 160 yds 3td
That's right!
Well manning and Johnny majors were screwed from the heisman also . The hate for our team is unreal . Go Vols
Absolutely!
The SEC only has 2 1000 yard rushers . The other power conferences and the mountain west all have atleast 4. Try to tell me yards aren’t harder to come by in the SEC.
He should be on the list! Tennessee is on the Black ball list Tennessee has pissed the powers that be OFF!
Eric...LEARN THIS.....I don't know why, but the media Hates Tennessee unless they are in Tennessee!!!!
I completely agree with everything you’re saying about D Samp. He definitely needs to be in the nominations. I am curious how many fumbles the other players had. Do you think that played a roll in the decision making? Asking just for topic of conversation.
Sampson's only fumbled 2-3 times all year. I wouldn't think that would make a huge difference but maybe so
@ based off all other voting committees I would not put it passed them. 😂
Jokes aside. I honestly believe had he played as many minutes early in the season as he did late we probably wouldn’t even be having the conversation.
@@cheftoyardee true, tough spot as a coach when you're up. 42 to zero against UTC.
Sampson is illusive to even the spectator. He just magically gets yards and touchdowns! He’s excellent!!! Definitely snubbed, like most Tennessee talent. Peyton. Johnny majors, it goes way back.
What a freaking joke that Doak Walker Committee is! Sampson certainly deserves to be on that list! The guy set all kinds of records for the Vols! Seems like the Vols get zero respect!
Blame Tennessee's coaching staff for not allowing him to run up his stats on the cupcake schools. It's all about the numbers, same with the QB stats for the Heisman.
You are right!
To leave Sampson off this list is a disgrace. Playing in the SEC translates
into playing with the big boys.
Can't compare vandy with Georgia. It's a 1 man show .Tennessee has something to prove and also to get a home game.
This needs to gain traction on every platform possible just so e can see how he’s getting ignored and they start getting questions of why
1,307 yards, 5.7 ypc and 22 TDs. He'll likely end up with 1500-1550 yards. He could be a little more productive as a receiver, but he's become an excellent every down back.. not being on that award list is a head scratcher
Doak Walker committee... SHAME. SHAME. SHAME.

ALL THROUGH MY LIFETIME,TENNESSEE HAS ALWAYS GOT INGNORED ON ANY OF THE COLLEGE AWARDS FOR THE,BEST PLAYERS
It's time for Coach H to stand up at these press conferences and start to sell the University of Tennessee and it's players. I get being conservative and playing things close to the vest but the media has now changed. Go Vols
Are we really surprised?
If Sampson deserves to be there then the coaching staff better make sure they show the voters why!
Have they not?
I'm not quite sure what you're even talking about Buddy there's no doubt he should have been there win I don't know
@@RavenEsty96I was saying make them realize the mistake the voters have made by letting him destroy Vanderbilt!
@@jeffmercer9655I'm saying the coaching staff should show the voters they've made a mistake by allowing Sampson to run all over Vandy!!

That’s the national media and sports media! Not even on the list? I guess I’m a little biased but man, are you kidding me! GBO 🍊🏈🧡
I'm not surprised I haven't given any of these awards credit. When they screwed Payton out of the Heisman Trophy I was done caring about any of these awards.
Such B.S.
NCAA payback for UT beating their ass in Court !!!!
Just my honest opinion.
Morgan Wallen was also passed up on the Voice !! And we all know how that turned out !
The Old Guard of college football is afraid of tennessee. They are afraid we are going to change and shift the long established power dynamics of the sport. They should be.
Just go play in the no defense conference and get awards!😂-Sampson plays against top defenses every week!The others play elites none with Jenty plays none!
Now that Mack Brown is retiring, does that help Tennessee with Isaiah Cambell?
Coming from a gator fan Tennessee has not been treated fair this year
It's simple, have any other rb run in sec and let's see what happens. Our lowest team plays against these backs and they'll not put up 100 yds
It's disgusting that Sampson isn't getting the recognition he deserves. He should either win or be tied at the final for the Doak and at least in NY for the Joke trophy.

thats criminal
Dylan got snubbed that’s always how they do Tennessee
He's not even in a top 10 rb prospect in the draft... might make more money to come back next year. Probably just wishful thinking
But how many times did they fumble the ball
You've got a point.
3 i believe. Maybe 4
Do you think that DSamp might have a little extra motivation to run all over Candy?
Yes!
Why leave out K Keith?
He would be there if CJH didn’t pull him out so much against UTEP. He could have added 5-6 tds instead of just 1. Lewis and Davis vultured 4, if I remember correctly.
How the fuck did that happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's explaining it 😂!! They have more yards and more exciting bug plays than Sampson. Most of his runs are just simple runs up the middle and nothing more.
I hope he has a field day against Vandy

DID PAYTON MANNING WIN THE HEISMAN? THE ONLY AWARD I CAN THINK OF IS OUR RECEIVER IN 2022.

Nobody likes Tennessee. Never have, never will. All we can do is win and put players in pros and HOF. Screw awards.
All the 3of them rbs are just better than Sampson! Period
What planet do you live on you're full of crap Jeremy
Put those other running backs in the SEC and see how they fare
