Oluwatimi's a Rimington finalist (surely this news has been posted but I can't find it)
I keep not posting this news, thinking that surely someone else already has but I don't see it.
He's one of 3 finalists, with Brett Neilon, USC, and Schmitz, Minnesota.

The hell I don't! Listen, kid. I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at Virginia. I'm out there busting my buns every night! Tell your old man I play on offense!
- Olu, probably

What an absolute war daddy.
Played at UVA where they don't run the rock very much, so Olu gets his NFL draft advice "we want to see you play on a team that runs the rock." He smartly chooses UM. He proves to be an upgrade on the departing starting center (thank you for your service, Andrew Vastardis) on a Joe Moore Award-winning OL. Olu proceeds to mash and smash faces. Then he mashes more faces. More and more faces. Still, faces. Mashed. Olu grades out extremely well in UFR as well as by my patented "watching the game with a beer in hand" metric (wtgwabih). Blake Corum emerges as a bona file Heisman candidate, running up the gut behind Olu. UM runs for 400+ on Frames Janklin. More faces are mashed. Olu does not have any "tunnel incidents" or lob PB&Js. He becomes arguably (controversial and perhaps not correct, but this is a taek) the single most important player on the offense. Deals with his former UVA buddies getting mowed down in a senseless act of violence in the same week his dad has brain surgery. Does not miss a game. Smash the faces of more DTs. Helps convince anOSU to tap out in the 4th QTR. Faces, mashed. Helps UM to a 13-0 mark and conference championship. Should win the Rimington award. David Molk, Cesar Ruiz, Graham Glasgow all look on approvingly. As does the ghost of former president Gerald Ford. Olu looking ahead to TCU, where more faces must be mashed.

So it's okay to nickname him 'Face Masher'?

Also not sure if it has been posted but Olu is also a finalist for the Outland Trophy. He deserves both!

Add the Rimington and hopefully join in on the back-to-back Joe Moore awards. Olu deserves it and I think he has it in the bag.

Glad you posted.
I think I had taken it as a foregone conclusion and didn't even think to look. That we've gone from the depths of BPONE to that is amazing to even contemplate.
