Neal is going to be a household name in the Big 12 next year.

I love Rocco but couldn't agree more that he didn't deserve postseason accolades. We know that now we can blame some of his erratic play on being injured, but excuses don't get you these accolades either
I wonder how common its been for a team to get to 8 wins with zero 1st-team all conference players??
Yeah, it's crappy. Unfortunately (for individual accolades), our system is geared towards team success versus someone putting up video game numbers. It's great for overcoming injuries, but a lack of flash hurts when these type of awards come out.
As far as not making HM as a kicker, I'm sure missing 3 games entirely and not being right in another one resulting in some badly missed kicks probably didn't help him much.
Realize it's not an easy job to play DL in the 3-3-5 formation, but having 18 tackles for the season had to hurt Orange.1st team: none
2nd team: Hanson/Brahmer/Flora
3rd team: Miller/Orange/Neal
Honorable mention: Sama/Eskildsen/Sowell/Bonifas/Buhr/Bacon/Konrardy/Perkins
I feel like a few of our guys deserved better, especially Orange

I was more surprised Konrardy and Perkins didn't make one of the first 3 teams.
People who know football should have a reasonable feel for how much of an anchor he was for the entire defense with the way it is set up. Stats don't mean much on our d-line, particularly in the middle of it.
I looked at the conference stats and recognized that there is a lot of quality at both positions in this league.
Iowa State didn't have a first team All-Big XII player for the first time in forever and still went 8-4. Just an observation.1st team: none

Good summary. Konrardy available all season without injury gap, he would've done enough to get 1st/2nd team PK.
But for one coach, he was still the best special teams player in the conference? That just makes no sense.
I agree that time off kept him off the teams and rightfully so, but it makes no sense that someone thought he was player of the he year
