Neither Barnes nor Montgomery make B12 first team?

Kyle Kempt was the offensive coordinator. It's hush hush since the payments are NCAA violation.

Willie got screwed as well. I was afraid that might happen.

3rd place with only 1 1st teamer? Just think what we could do with talent.

How can Peavy be PFF #1 cornerback, but not Big 12 first team?

Those other WRs are good, but Butler should be first team. He alone changed many games for ISU the entire year. He is outstanding, and in a more “explosive” offense would have put up madden #’s.

I really hate PFF.

Harrison Barnes?

Pooka wasn't even the best RB on Kansas against us. The other KU back played more and did better against us.

1) That was one game, 2) a conclusion that he wasn't the best RB is a bit subjective, because he had a bunch of receptions to go with his rushing yards and the other guy had zero, meaning he is a much more versatile threat, and 3) he had over 1100 yards rushing and almost 300 yards receiving on the season. He earned his B12 First Team honor.

You can make a very legit argument that the 1st and 2nd team RBs could easily be reversed. Pooka in particular, has a great skill set and is dangerous as a runner and receiver, but I wouldn't take him as an every down back over either of the 2nd teamers.

That's a different consideration, IMO. This is to honor the players/coaches that had the best respective seasons. It isn't to select which players one would choose if they were building a team, which I agree would be DM.

This year, Pooka had more rushing yards, 3x more receiving yards, more total yards, 2x more receptions, much higher YPC, much higher YP reception.

And (giving DM benefit of doubt for ejection/suspension game lost, canceled game, and injured game; and Pooka the benefit of the doubt for not playing in KU's first game for whatever reason), Pooka had ~12.5 more total YPG, ~15.5 more RecYPG, only 3 less RuYPG . It's hard to argue that DM absolutely deserved this honor over Pooka when looking at their respective statistical outputs for the season.

The biggest snub is Peavy on second team and it isn't even close. Two true freshman on first team? Give me a break. Peavy may not have had the "numbers", but it's because no one threw at him. WTF.
