desmond briscoe, jake sharp, half the starters for CU, jocques crawford.It's very hard to compare the Big 12 to any other conference. We've suffered, as a conference, SO MANY players lost due to injuries (and some stupidity):
Our entire O Line. And our top two RBs
Sam Bradford and Gresham
Blaine Gabbert (via Suh)
Dez Bryant
Robert Griffin
Who else? I know I'm missing some guys.
This was a weird season where so many key players from highly-touted teams got hurt, so all that prowess our teams built themselves around was gone.
Hard to excel when you've lost that much talent.
