Today, the Big 12 Conference annonced their annual football awards, including First Team Offense, Defense and a host of superlative awards.
First Team Offense
First Team Defense
Key Takeaways:
1. Texas Tech is a Menace
It’s clear that Texas Tech’s defense is as mean as it is masterful. The Red Raiders had double the amount of award winners on defense than the next closest teams (BYU, Arizona).
2. Noah Fifita needs help
No other Arizona player made First Team offense. Noah Fifita was the best QB in the conference this year, proving his monster year with last year’s top pick Tetairoa McMillan was not a fluke.
3. LJ Martin is an NFL back
If it wasn’t clear before, it is now. LJ Martin is the best back in the Big 12, and the next NFL running back to come from BYU along with Chris Brooks, Tyler Allgeier, Jamal Williams and more.
