That's a pretty legit list.

[kyle sibert]

Yeaaaa you couldn't compete with a team like that.

[BIG ERN]

Hagg should be 1st team over Prince, but that's besides the point. When are we ever going to get OFFENSIVE players on these lists?

 

1. Need a new O-Coordinator

 

2. Need to throw more. We never had a 1,000 yard receiver? Horrible

Shocked that they picked hunter over Murray.

[husker2010]

Niles Paul? ESPN must enjoy being nervous on every punt return...

[ESPY]

Shocked that they picked hunter over Murray.

That's a joke right? This is probably the wrong board for this argument since Hunter put 200+ rushing yards on the Blackshirts, while Murray yielded less than half of those outstanding numbers against us.

No kidding. I'm guessing they went with name recognition on this one. Although there weren't many solid PRs this year.

Remember that he was also injured in the game before, so I am sure he wasnt 100% just as Taylor.

[HuskerJosh]

Murray 1121 rushing yards

Hunter 1516 rushing yards

And you are shocked why?

On a side note--Bobby Rainey of WKU ended up the #2 rusher in the nation with 1629 yards.

I'm surprised the great receiver and running back from A&M didn't make the list. I'm sure there was somebody that posted that these two were the best in the Big 12.

[HuskerJosh]

Gray was a backup the first 8 weeks of the year.

[HotGrillonGrillAction]

Man.......not going to get on a soap box....but all that talent AND.........Well - you know. Damn it anyhow!

 

GBR - 2011!!!! (and the Holiday Bowl, technically, 2010)

Fuller was good, but the secondary from schools like Baylor and Oklahoma and Texas REALLY sold out to stop him. He was facing a lot of double and triple coverage, which limited his production the 2nd half of the season.

 

Josh is close. Gray split time with Christine Michael the first half of the year, and didn't get the touches he got until the 2nd half. He still had some epic games. He averaged close to 6 YPC the second half, but overall he still didn't outperform Murray or Hunter.

[junior4949]

Are you insinuating that schools like Baylor, OU, and Texas didn't sell out to stop Blackmon? The two are in a different league as far as I'm concerned. Hell, Nebraska sold out to stop Blackmon and it didn't help at all.
