They took to social media to express their dismay that ASU running back Cam Skattebo, who won the conference’s Offensive Player of the Week award five times this season, was not included in the conference’s Offensive Player of the Year award took home.

Sanders completed 74.2% of his passes this season and threw for 3,926 yards and 35 touchdowns, with eight passes intercepted in 12 games for the 9-3 Buffaloes.

Skattebo rushed for 1,398 yards and 17 touchdowns in 11 games for the Sun Devils, who posted a 10-2 regular-season record. He also caught 35 catches for 468 yards and two touchdowns.
