All Conference Team: The Big East


No conference in America offers a mix of offenses schemes like the much mélange Big East can. On one side of the spectrum there is the pass-happy, two-time league champion, the Cincinnati Bearcats. On the other ends reside the run crazed Pitt Panthers.

Between those two, there’s a plethora of highly entertaining and very creative offenses led by some of the most dynamic playmakers in the country.

Despite the fact he is just a sophomore, Tom Savage is the most battle-tested signal caller in the Conference. At 6-foot-5, packing a solid frame (230) and sporting a rocket for an arm, Savage is sure to gather the attention of many NFL scouts this year.

The intriguing Panthers leads the offensive parade with three all conference selections. Running back Dion Lewis is a projective All American, as does wide out Jonathan Baldwin and left tackle Jason Pinkston. All three are viewed as top 50 material for next April’s NFL Draft.
