Iowa State's Davis, Texas' Mitchell lead running backs

Associated Press

DALLAS -- Major Applewhite of Texas and Nebraska's Eric Crouch tied for quarterback on the fourth All-Big 12 Conference Coaches football team.

Crouch paved the way for key Huskers' wins over Texas A&M and Kansas State with back-to-back individual career rushing days against the Aggies and Wildcats.

Despite missing much of the Longhorns' 20-16 loss Saturday at Texas A&M, Applewhite ended the year with 28 passing and total offense records for a game, the season and his career.

Running backs on the first team offense included a pair of 1,000-yard gainers.

Iowa State standout Darren Davis, one of three rushers in the 1990s to have three consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, ended the campaign with 1,388 net yards on 287 carries with 14 touchdowns.

Texas' Hodges Mitchell completed his first 12 games of 1999 with a team-best 1,329 yards on 248 carries to spark the Longhorns to the Big 12 South Division crown.

Defensive standout LB Mark Simoneau of Kansas State is one of the nationally-renowned members of the first unit.

The All-America choice and finalist for the Butkus Award capped his career with 87 total tackles, seven sacks, 17 tackles for losses (-93 yards), and numerous game-breaking plays.
