GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
Last night on ESPN at the Home Depot College Football Awards Texas cornerback was announced as the winner of the Jim Thorpe Award. The Thorpe Award goes to the nation's top defensive back and Ross is the Longhorns' second consecutive winner. Last year safety Michael Huff took home the honor.
Ross beat out Florida's Reggie Nelson and Michigan's Leon Hall for the award in what is at least a slight upset in my book. Ross was outstanding for much of the season and has a knack for making the big play, but the Texas secondary struggled all season long and particularly against Kansas State in the huge upset loss.
He certainly had the statistics to deserve the award (18 pass breakups, five interceptions, and three forced fumbles) and Ross was one of the nation's best cover guys, but it's surprising to think that college football's top defensive back came from one of the country's worst pass defenses. How bad would the Texas secondary have been without him?
