Hiller, Lewis represent the MAC for Walter Camp

Tim Hiller	MiQuale Lewis

Two Mid American Conference Seniors made the Walter Camp "watch List". The award which started in 1967 (and was won its first two years by O.J. Simpson) is awarded every year to the player seen as the 'player of the year' by a group of National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I-A head coaches and sports information directors under the auspices of the Walter Camp Football Foundation.

No school that is currently not in a BCS conference, outside of Notre Dame, has ever won this award so its going to be a major task for them to be taken seriously as contenders. Should Hiller eclipse his totals from last year or Lewis lead the league in rushing and touchdowns they may have a chance but short of the publicity that a BCS bowl run has its difficult to get the national attention for such awards.

Last year MiQuale Lewis rushed for 1,701 yards (3rd in the nation) and scored 22 touchdowns (Tied for first). He also caught more than 30 passes for three hundred yards making him one of the most potent threats in all of College football. This year he will have to make due with a new line and without Nate Daivs who left early for the NFL draft.

Tim Hiller set seven Western Michigan passing records in 2008 He ranked tenth in the nation in yardage (3725), 7th in touchdowns (36), and 24th in quarterback rating (143.81). Off the field he earned a 4.0 GPA as an undergraduate and is well on his way to his MBA. Hiller will have to go through the year wideouts Jamarko Simmons and Schneider Julien. He will also be missing Tight end Branden Ledbetter. But he does return most of his offense outside those positions.
