What
a first round. Two overtime games. Three six seeds winning. Three
comebacks from double-digit deficits (and nearly a fourth if not for
Albany State missing on a last-second field goal attempt). Two teams -
Nebraska-Kearney and Hillsdale - won their first playoff games as D-II
programs. West Alabama won its first playoff game in 34 years.

A
field of 24 candidates has been trimmed to nine national finalists in
regional voting for the Harlon Hill Trophy as the NCAA Division II
College Football Player of the Year.
The finalists were selected by the NCAA
Division II sports information directors in regional voting and will now
be placed on the national ballot where all 148 of the division's SIDs
will select the award's 24th winner.

Alabama has been proficient on offense and stingy on defense this
season.
That's been the key to winning 10 of 11
games.
There is another area in which the
Lions have excelled in 2009, and it's had head coach Terry Bowden seeing
yellow.
