With only 7 full games (he started game 8, but went down in the first minutes of the game) Ray Graham still was impressive enough to be named 1st Team All-Big East. He couldn’t win offensive player of the year (that went to Cinci RB, Isiah Pead), but it is still a solid accomplishment.
Graham — probably not surprisingly — was the only Pitt player named to the All-Big East Team (1st or 2d).
On defense, Pitt placed five players. Only Safety Jared Holley, however, was a 1st teamer. Chas Alecxih, Aaron Donald, Max Gruder and Antwuan Reed were all named to the 2nd team. Somewhat surprisingly, Brandon Lindsey didn’t make either team. The Big East stats stuff list him as a linebacker which may have contributed to the confusion.
I would think if Ray Graham and Chris Jacobson had remained healthy that the Panthers would have had a record of 9-3 rather tham 6-6. Of course, injuries are part of the game, but the two gridders I mentioned were (and hopefully will be) two of the better players in the country. I mean “country” as in NATION. Rev.
