BAHL's 2010 All America Team

2010 All America Team

OFFENSE
Auburn quarterback Cam Newton, a transfer from Florida, is the offensive player of the year. Newton, who won the Heisman Trophy, appeared a man among boys this season and simply could not be stopped, leading Auburn to an undefeated regular season and a spot in the BCS National Championship game.

DEFENSE
Texas A&M outside linebacker Von Miller was a bit overshadowed coming into the year, but even as A&M started slowly, Miller was a force week in and week out making big plays all over the field.

HEISMAN TROPHY

This was tough vote this year. Cam Newton, of Auburn, was the clear choice on the field, but a slew of off the field issues clouded the choice, as integrity is a central component of the Heisman. For my vote, if I had one, if there would have been someone close I would have swayed that way, but there simply was no other choice. Therefore, my ballot would have been:

1. Cam Newton, Auburn
2. Andrew Luck, Stanford
3. LaMichael James, Oregon.
