Just had to do it one more time:
ESPN - All-Freshman Team
All-Freshman Team
The Dash has put together its best guess at the best 11 freshman offensive players in Division I-A. Next week, the best 11 on defense. (Note: Outraged e-mails demanding to know why Joe Pulling Guard from My Favorite School didn't make the team should be sent to GetAGrip@GetOverIt.com. It's a big country out there, and some guys are going to be left off -- and it's not because of a deep, dark, sinister ESPN bias against Your Favorite School. Thank you.)
QB -- Tim Hiller (11), Western Michigan. From Bob Knight's hometown of Orrville, Ohio, Hiller became the Broncos' starter at midseason after injury to Ryan Cubit and has been unconscious ever since. Has 20 touchdowns and three interceptions -- and if he'd played enough games, his passer rating of 180.1 would easily lead the country.

Northwestern freshman Tyrell Sutton rushed for 126.4 yards per game in 2005. RB -- Tyrell Sutton (12), Northwestern. Another Ohio product making it big outside the borders. Sutton ranks fifth in the country in rushing at 126.4 yards per game.
RB -- Darren McFadden (13), Arkansas. Pat Dye watched the 1,000-yard rusher at work and pronounced him the best freshman he'd seen in the SEC since Bo Jackson. His 6.95 yards-per-carry was second-best among the nation's top 45 rushers, beaten only by Mr. Reggie Bush.
WR -- James Hardy (14), Indiana. Slowed by injury in the second half of the season, the two-sport athlete (basketball, too) still finished with 893 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns in 10 games.
WR -- Sidney Rice (15), South Carolina. Strong guy with great hands had an eight-game streak of catching at least one touchdown pass, and had 100 yards receiving in five of his last six games.
TE -- Chase Coffman (16), Missouri. Has 39 catches for 404 yards and three TDs on the season.
OL -- Cole Popovich (17), Fresno State. Another in a long line of offensive linemen to play right away and play well for Pat Hill.
OL -- Dallas Reynolds (18), BYU. The 345-pounder has started all year at guard, giving up just three sacks.
OL -- Jonathan Luigs (19), Arkansas. Leads the team in knockdown blocks, averaging more than six per game.
OL -- Alex Boone (20), Ohio State. Huge (6-foot-8, 315 pounds) blue-chip signee has wasted little time earning playing time on a veteran line.
OL -- Ryan Clady (21), Boise State. At 6-6, 312 pounds, his potential is immense. Formed a big bookend to senior Daryn Colledge at the other tackle.
PK -- Jordan Congdon (22), Nebraska. He's 15 of 18 on field goals, having made his last nine straight. Kicked a 40-yarder with a minute left to beat Kansas State and sew up a bowl bid, and has made 25 straight PATs.
