Kalvin McRae was robbed [/bitterohiofangirlwhoprobablymisspelledhisname]

 

How is Art Carmody of Louisville not on there. All-time leading scorer in college and last year's Groza winner. He wasn't any worse this year. Weird.

Would have liked to seen UK's Jacob Tamme at TE. Unanimous all-sec should get you something.

 

Well, the Bulls didn't exactly finish flat, winning their last three.

The loss of OT Walter Walker in the Rutgers game and WR's Taurus Johnson and Amarri Jackson really hurt the offense, and the team went into a skid when they were out.

Walker absence particularly hurt. Six of the seven sacks Rutgers recorded came after he left the game, and put the Bulls in frequent long-yardage situations in the second half.

Huh. Seems like the post this was directed at has disappeared. Oh well.

 

Here's Sporting News.

QB: Tebow.
RB: McFadden, Smith.
WR: Crabtree; Percy Harvin, Florida.
TE: Fred Davis, Southern Cal.
OL: Long; Clady; Luigs; Robinson; Alex Mack, California.
KR: Maclin.
PR: Leodis McKelvin, Troy.
PK: John Sullivan, New Mexico.

DE: Long; Greg Middleton, Indiana.
DT: Dorsey; Ellis.
LB: Lofton; Laurinaitis; Dizon.
CB: Talib; Cason.
S: Taylor Mays, Southern Cal; Chris Horton, UCLA.
P: Huber.

The NCAA recognizes AP, AFCA, FWAA, Walter Camp and Sporting News to determine consensus All-Americans.

 

So, to complete things, the Walter Camp team:

QB: Tebow.
RB: McFadden; Smith.
WR: Crabtree; Nelson.
TE: Travis Beckum, Wisconsin.
C: Luigs.
OL: Long; Collins; Sam Baker, Southern Cal; Tony Hills, Texas.
KR: Felix Jones, Arkansas.
PK: Sullivan.

DL: Dorsey; Long; Selvie; Ellis.
LB: Connor; Laurinaitis; Dizon.
DB: Talib; Cason; Steltz; Silva.
P: Huber.

Consensus coming once I figure it out.

 

Jeremy Maclin is a system all-purpose player. [/ducking]

 

Felix Jones and Jacob Tamme should have been on more teams.

 

Jerod Mayo, too. Can't believe that guy didn't make one team.

 

When was the last time two runningbacks from the same school were named first team AA by the same outlet in the same year?

Dickerson and James?

 

OK, here are the guys who can be referred to as consensus All-Americans.

QB: Tim Tebow, Florida.
RB: Darren McFadden, Arkansas; Kevin Smith, Central Florida.
WR: Jordy Nelson, Kansas State; Michael Crabtree, Texas Tech.
TE: Martin Rucker, Missouri.
C: Jonathan Luigs, Arkansas.
OL: Duke Robinson, Oklahoma; Anthony Collins, Kansas; Jake Long, Michigan; Ryan Clady, Boise State.
All-purpose: Jeremy Maclin, Missouri.
PK: John Sullivan, New Mexico.

DE: Chris Long, Virginia; George Selvie, South Florida.
DT: Glenn Dorsey, LSU; Sedrick Ellis, Southern Cal.
LB: James Laurinaitis, Ohio State; Jordan Dizon, Colorado. Tied with 2 first-team picks each are Dan Connor, Penn State, Curtis Lofton, Oklahoma, and J Leman, Illinois.
CB: Aqib Talib, Kansas; Antoine Cason, Arizona.
S: Craig Steltz, LSU; Jamie Silva, Boston College.
P: Kevin Huber, Cincinnati.

 

Does Sporting News not count then? Because Selvie wasn't on its first team, Greg Middleton was.
