1. Re: OL - who is the biggest stand out on the OL? I feel like none of them are stand outs, but one of them may make 1st team just because of the team's success - players from the best team often get the nod just because.
2. RE: CB - which of M's CB's will make 1st team All Big Ten? Traditional stats for Watson are most impressive:
But that is because he is picked on more than Long & Hill. That's because per PFF Long & Hill are #1 and #3 in the country in yards per cover snap allowed (with long being way out in front at 0.16):
Teams have only thrown at Hill 24 times, completing just 9:
So will the coaches/media go with traditional stats? Or something more? Which one would you choose? You could pick two I suppose, but I'd be stunned if two made first team even though they'd certainly be deserving.
