Texas Tech seniors Brandon Carter and Brandon Sharpe were named to The Associated Press All-America third team on Tuesday.
Carter, 6-foot-7, 344-pound offensive guard from Longview, allowed only one sack this season and helped anchor a Red Raiders’ attack that ranked among the top 10 nationally in both total offense and scoring offense. Carter was a second-team AP All-American last year after allowing no sacks.
Sharpe, a 6-3, 254-pound defensive end from Georgia, had 15 sacks during the regular season to break the Tech single-season school record previously held by Adell Duckett. Sharpe, who registered 13 sacks in seven Big 12 Conference games, also was a third-team all-America selection by the Sporting News.
Linebacker Greg Jones of Michigan State, which will face Tech in the Alamo Bowl on Jan. 2 in San Antonio, was a first-team All-America pick by the AP.

They may have a good linebacker but they have suspended 11 players (some of them starters) and have a very mediocre season. We should own them in the Alamo City!
