Figured going in DE would be the Big 12’s deepest defensive position. Turned out, it’s LB. Tough competition there for the All-Big 12 spots

The list is light on Baylor, which is perfectly understandable since half of Baylor's stars have barely played this season. Trotter's list indicates just how talented the conference is at this point - and I expect Baylor players like Bryce Petty, Antwan Goodley, Andrew Billings, and Xavien Howard to claim places by the end of the year.
4 Bears named midseason All-Americans by @SportsonEarth - S.Drango, B.Petty, K.Cannon, S.Oakman: http://t.co/cHGRTqt74m #sicem

We assumed going into the season that KD Cannon was a dark horse candidate for Big 12 Freshman of the Year. We had no idea that he'd be in the running for a place on an All-American team.

Petty's huge day and ability to bounce back from a devastating turnover earned him this week's Davey O'Brien honors. Petty is a short list candidate for the annual quarterbacking award.

Do I miss the highlighters? Yes. Do I love the new Nike designs and think they'll be better for the program in the long run? Definitely. If Baylor can keep up their recent success, they should eventually earn more attention from the uniform giant.
What are your thoughts?
