I know we still have football left to play, but which Sooners do you think make All-Big XII this year?
QB: Tough race, but have to give it to Baker if OU wins out. Without the injury, Boykin probably wins this.
RB: Perine for sure (along with Linwood). Mixon should make HM for sure.
WR: Dotson, Coleman and Shepard 1st team. HM for Neal and Westbrook.
OL: I could see Darlington, Kasitati, Brown and Samia all making a run at 2nd team. Brown and Darlington might have a shot at 1st team just because you would think someone at OU would get picked for 1st team.
DE: Tapper is 2nd team behind Oakman and Ogbah (he made a run late, but didn't do enough first half IMO)
DT: Can Walker, a non-starter, be 1st team? We have the best unit by far, but no one besides Walker and Tapper really stands out. Romar, Dimon and Wade all deserve recognition.
LB: Striker and Alexander, Evans and Bond should all receive recognition, with Striker and Alexander likely 1st.
CB: Sanchez and Thomas should both garner 1st team consideration. Sanchez probably gets it with Thomas 2nd team.
S: Ditto for Parker and Thomas, with Parker getting 1st team.
P/PK: I could see Seibert getting 1st team P. Probably 2nd or 3rd team PK.
I think Mixon, Brown, Samia and Seibert are no brainers for 1st team, with Andrews, Alvarez and Overton also getting some attention, on the all freshman team.
I would think Mayfield would be a no brainer for Offensive Newcomer of the Year and will compete with Boykin for OPOY (if we beat OSU, I think Mayfield should win).
Striker will be in the mix for DPOY, but I don't think we wins. Our defense was too balanced. No real superstar--total team effort. I would be hard-pressed to pick a real weakness on our defense. Everyone pulls their weight.
