Was hoping we would have a receiver on there like Guyton or Bussey but overall I agree a pretty accurate listing.

I don't think Wilson should be first team.  There's too many other good backs in this league.

IMO, only Ito Smith has an argument against him (Singletary is obvious)... and Smith only has just over 100 more yds on ~50 more carries than Jeffrey.   Jeffrey has 3 more TD's than Smith in less work too.

It's truly shocking how few players we have on this list given our overall program success.  I think we had more in 2013 as I recall.

Football is about the QB.  CFB even more so.  You get a 1st team QB and you over come a lot of deficiencies.  

Fine is the difference between nine wins rights now and four.

Where is Guyton?

Behind some deserving dudes.   Jaylen had 3 MONSTER games, but was otherwise kind-of pedestrian this year.

True. Once teams started putting deep help on him he was fairly limited. Not saying he's a one trick pony, but he was just blowing past man coverage early on before teams started to double him

Would think the rotating of WRs so often hurt them and Fine spreading the ball around as much as he did. 

Also, Guyton only had 47 catches good for #2 on the team, with Lawerence being #1 with 50.. Also, no WR cracked the 800 yard barrier which is odd, because I thought he was close to it with us having a 3000 yard passer, 1000 yard rusher, 1000 WR discussions around the UTSA/LT games...

Not odd at all. Fine is doing his job and throwing to the open guy, no matter who it is. That's the beauty of the Air Raid, until you get a guy like Crabtree, in which he was open even when he wasn't open. If a guy is open, they're getting the ball

It's odd because we had discussions about the last time we had a 3k/1k/1k trio and how close it was happening, and then Guyton finishes over 200 yards away from it..

Since we won the division I think we'll get a few more voted in ... to the victors go the spoils.

Like who??? The only other ones I could think off would be someone like Murray or Woody on the OL... or Khari/Young on defense

Ejiya has been pretty disruptive this season as well

[outoftown]

Personally I don't know how deserving the guy on this list is, but I have a hard time imagining that I would trade Kelvin Smith for any TE in thiss confeerence.

Surely he will get 2nd team.

[UNTexas]

Guyton should be on there. 

[greenminer]

Moore will be a conference legend.

5 years from now, after the dissolution of FBS football as we know it, Moore will still be upping his XP streak.

In 100 years, someone will discover a leather bound book detailing his records.  It will include a line-sketched map of the Apogee Underground and a list of favorite places Moore likes to drink high-dollar tequila.  Rumor has it that list includes the corner chair upstairs in Andy's bar, all the locations at Fouts Field where Joe Greene recorded a sack, and Odin's master bath.

I have a source inside the NCAA that says they are considering a Mean Green-specific rule that requires him to kick barefoot and only affords 2 points on Moore's converted FGs.

Moore will likely be able to transfer wherever he wants and play immediately.  He will grant the NCAA a medical hardship waiver.

Why is anyone concerned with an UTSA's fan picks for all conference?
