It's nice to see Root get some recognition. She's already a hero to the team - and was before stepping in for the suspended Cook - but outside the program she's a relative unknown. Her contributions to the team cannot be overstated. We've been lucky to have her.
Nebraska tied Penn State with three first-team selections, and led the Big Ten with five overall selections to first-team or honorable mention.
