All-Big Ten Picks

The Big Ten Conference released its list of All-Big Ten Football Teams for 2010 today. As a Northwestern fan, I was pretty happy with the lists, one of which is generated by Big Ten Coaches, and one by Big 10 media members. Quarterback Dan Persa was named to the first team by the coaches, and the second team by the media, which is a testament to how well he played before his Achilles' Tendon injury. Persa may have a chance to win the Chicago Tribune Silver Football, a prestigious award given to the Big Ten MVP. Jeremy Ebert, NU's leading receiver also received a first-team selection from the media.

Overall, the selections for Northwestern and the Big Ten as a whole were very fair. What surprised me the most was the fact that Denard Robinson was named Offensive Player of the Year by the league's coaches yet was not a first-or second team selection by the league's coaches.
