Controversy marks Big 12 seasonBy Tim Griffin

Special to ESPN.com

 

 

National respect was fleeting for the Big 12 in 2006, even coming after a banner season last year.

 

Texas' national championship in 2005 -- the conference's fifth appearance in the BCS title game in six years -- and the league's strong 5-3 bowl record were quickly forgotten after Big 12 teams struggled through a subpar nonconference performance like none other in its history.....

 

Most Valuable Player

Nebraska quarterback Zac Taylor

Zac Taylor has helped turn the culture around at Nebraska in only two years. Coach Bill Callahan's transformation of his program from a stodgy option-based attack to a pro-style offense was jump-started by playing Taylor at quarterback. Taylor's statistics weren't as noticeable as some other Big 12 quarterbacks, but no player was more valuable to his team.

Dumbass comment alert!

Nine of the 12 teams will return their quarterbacks next season, including all of the bowl teams except Oklahoma.

Unless I'm misreading that, they're saying Taylor will be back next year....douche-bags

Kind of hard to argue with the facts that they bring up. And I would agree with them that the future of the conference looks bright for the conference.

We will see how the conference's record is in the bowl games this year.

ESPN is full of a bunch of inbred thoughless morons who don't check the states of any of the teams besides USC, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Texas, or Michigan!!!! :moreinteresting
