So 16 UCF players earn All Big 12 honors but the best Gus Malzahn can do is go 6-6. This is NOT the flex you think it is.

So if this is accurate and true, then the losses we had this year were not because of a lack of talent. What was the cause for those losses then?

RJ Harvey should be a 1st team selection. He has considerably more valuable in the passing game than the TT RB and has more All purpose yards. The fact that he is honorable mention lets me know how stupid this conference is.

Kobe Hudson is also a first teamer. Stoops from OU had 880 yards on 78 receptions. Kobe had 853 yards on 42 receptions. He and Baker make the rest of the conferences receivers look like bums. Baker had 966 yards on 43 receptions.

Will Howard is the second team QB. JRP had a much better season than him. If JRP hadn’t missed games he would have had more passing yards than him(JRP had more passing yards per game).

Mike Gundy is coach of the year. He got rolled by Gus. For that he should be forced to retire or sent off into the desert backwards on a horse with a comically large head like in Beyond Thunderdome.

Baker leading the league in receiving yards blew me away. I had no idea. Nobody in the league had over 1000 yards receiving? Crazy to me.

Statistically, Baker needed like 3 more passes to get 1000. He and Kobe are on another level.

That’s what my first thought was too

Most of the 16 were honorable mentions. Only like 3 or 4 were actually on the first or second team all conference. Lack of depth cost us just as much as talent. In the end 3 of our 6 losses were 2 points or less which comes down to game management and sometimes luck.
