From Ted Miller:
The Pac-10 bowl season didn’t go well, but that doesn’t mean you don’t make an all-bowl team.
You may notice a lot of USC and UCLA players. You might remember that the LA schools posted the conference’s only two wins.
OFFENSE
QB Matt Barkley, USC: Barkley completed 27 of 37 throws for 350 yards with two touchdowns against Boston College in the Emerald Bowl. He also had two interceptions.
RB Toby Gerhart, Stanford: Against an Oklahoma defense ganging up on him, he rushed for 133 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries in a Sun Bowl loss.
RB Stanley Havili, USC: He only rushed for 2 yards, but he also he caught six passes for 83 yards with two touchdowns.
WR Damian Williams, USC: He caught 12 passes for a season-high 189 yards.
