Brad Smith gets no love, he carries that Missouri team. 3rd team? Geez put him on Oklahoma and he'd have better stats than White.
I love how the honorable mention is pretty much everyone else that started a game this season. First of all, they should have saved time and just called the First Team Defense "Oklahoma". Every one of their starters could legitimately claim it. Second of all, I was pissed that Bloom didn't make the first team, until I remembered the season Perkins had.
I think he was implying that Smith should have been 2nd team. No one can argue White being 1st team. I think Brad Smith will have a monster year next year. Maybe even an Eric Crouch type year. Isn't there an all freshman team that comes out too?
He is a great player...but to bump the leading passer, yardage-wise, in NCAA history to 3rd team just doesn't seem right... Next year Smith should be 1st team though...
Very true. Especially since he went to my high school. I'm a little surprised that Vince Young isn't on there anywhere. Maybe not being a starter the whole year hurt him. Jammal Lord?
Yeah... White is good. I hope Smith doesn't turn out to be a Crouch, who couldn't pass. If he could, Nebraska would have been better that year. Oh here a trivia question, who are the only two players in NCAA history to pass for 2000 yards and run for 1000 in a season?
the fact that Roy Williams is on the 2nd team shows you just how bad of an offensive coordinator greg davis really is. and i noticed the same thing as Buck, Texas players all over those teams. and who were the ties b/t for LB? i'm hoping lehman and DJ or some people need their heads checked. and i'm also kinda surprised they didn't make a "super team" category and have tommie harris as the only player on it.
From Hornfans: Among the All Big 12 defensive tackles, Rod was #1 in tackles, sacks, sack yardage, and QB pressures. He also had more pass breakups and forced fumbles than 1st Teamers Tommie Harris and Dusty Dvoracek COMBINED. But according to the coaches who picked the teams, Rod was no better than the 7th best DT in the conference this season.
Heh...Brad Smith is a hell of a player(Definitely better than Vince this year...about the same as a runner, but better and smarter passer), but I don't see any reason why Vince can't surpass him next season. We're hearing a lot of talk about a shift in the offensive balance(Keeping ball on ground with Vince/Cedric), but I don't buy it. The great receivers keep coming in, and it would be stupid to try to turn this team into an option team. IMO, the days when that worked are over. We are losing the big 3, but I really think that Vince will like throwing to Sweed, Jeffery, and our incoming recruits. I also think Tarell Brown will make some noise next year at DB. He is the best back I have personally seen at the high school level(Didn't get to catch Adrian P.), and he is supposedly better suited for DB...I think that spells trouble for opposing WR's next season. I hope like hell that I never have to say this again, but... [gulp] go OU (That's right...no exclamation point...that was painful enough.)
That's a joke....he should probably be first team with Harris but I've heard opposing coaches say Dvoracek is really the one to look out for on OU...
Yeah I heard Brown was a badass in HS. What game did you see? What'd he do that was so impressive? He didn't seem very impressive in limited PT this year, but he is a freshman. I didn't focus that much on him either, so I'm not forming a definite judgement. If they don't screw with Vince, he'll win a Heisman probably. Don't know if that's a good thing though. He'd definitely be 1st team Big XII. I'm worried they're going to discourage his running too much and never let him throw downfield - the two things he does best.
I don't think they're about the same as a runner...I think Young is quite a bit better. I just like Smith's overall game better..for now. Of course this is all moot should Jason White come back....(though I doubt he does.. )
Brown was just a beast in the one game I saw him in. He carried his high school team(North Mesquite, I believe) against the eventual 3rd place(Though everyone knows they were really the second best team in the state last year) finisher in Lufkin High school. North Mesquite was overmatched in every way possible...on the line, at the skill positions, in the secondary...everywhere, and Brown brought them back from, I think, a 2 touchdown 4th quarter defecit and led them to a one touchdown overtime defeat. Better speed than any HS back I have ever seen and better power than any HS back I have seen except for one(Jorvorskie Lane of Lufkin). He ran circles around a defense that is always among the best in the state. I really think he is as fast as any player that I have personally witnessed. At any level. Forget 40 times...I'm talking actual on-field speed. I remember at least two instances in which he out-sprinted the whole secondary. Like I said, if this kid is a better DB than he is RB, then we might not see too much of a dropoff in the secondary this offseason. Seems like a lot now think that Vince is a superior runner, and he very well may be, but quite a bit better? The only game that I saw of Smith's was the A&M game(That may be why I overrate him as a runner), and he seemed to be running at will. He looked to be on the same level as Vince as a runner and only a marginally better passer. You don't think White will come back? Has his draft outlook really changed that much? I guess if he did see a NFL future, then now is the time to leave. After/Assuming they win the Big 12, MNC, and White wins the heisman, his draft outlook would look as good as ever. Interesting...I had thought he was pretty set on coming back.
