The crew of Dr. Saturday (where yours truly toils as an orderly by day) has assembled its all-decade team, with nominees for each position selected by the staff and voted on by the reader base. Offense is here; defense is here. There are your shoo-ins (Jake Long), your close calls (Vince Young), and your trendy-but-deserving current events picks (Ndamukong Suh). Most importantly, this being the internet, there’s bound to be something for each and every one of you to take umbrage at. Interesting factoids:
Meet Y! Sports’ All-Decade College Football Team
- ↵↵No tandems on this team: No two players on the offensive or defensive sides of the ball hail from the same school.
- ↵Not a single current player made the offensive team (most recently matriculated honorees: Chase Coffman, Andre Smith, and Michael Crabtree of the class of ‘08), but the defense spans the decade neatly from Ed Reed to Eric Berry.
- ↵Yes, there are no cornerbacks, which is what happens when you open the roster selection up to a reader poll and no one votes for a cornerback.
- ↵And as always, the real wisdom comes from the peanut gallery, where a commenter asks, “But how would this team fare against a squad of 11 mini-Ditkas?”
