That is sweet! I love how most of our players on the FIRST team offense and defense. =]

i think that juice should replace henne as the 1st team qb
esp. with his performance against osu

Henne is the first team QB? What a sham. Did he even play in the month of November? And great way to show leadership during the Oregon and Ohio State de-pantsings. Maybe he can be the September 15 - October 15 first team QB. After that, I wouldn't let him be my first team busboy.

I love how tsun Oline was all like 1st team, but got OWNED by us!!!!

I also agree there is no way Henne could have been the Big 10 1st team QB. That is really puzziling.

I know, why not just out Anthony Morelli on the first team.
