Murakami's 2nd HR of Game 🤯

Kenjon Barner, Marqise Lee Headline 2012 All-Pac 12 Team

Tim KeeneyNov 26, 2012

The Pac-12 individual awards and all-conference first and second teams were announced on Monday, and there were hardly any surprises. 

Leading the way was Marqise Lee. USC's sophomore wide receiver—who has been rising up Heisman lists all season—earned Offensive Player of the Year honors and was the only player to be unanimously voted to the first team.

It's hard to argue against Lee, who week-in and week-out proved to be absolutely unstoppable. He finished with 112 catches for 1,680 yards and 14 touchdowns while serving as a dynamite kick returner, as well.

Still though, Kenjon Barner—among a few other players—might have a say in the decision. The electric Oregon running back led one of the most feared rushing attacks in the nation to the tune of 1,624 rushing yards (6.5 yards per attempt) and 22 total touchdowns.

He'll have a first-team all-conference recognition to help him get through the disappointment. 

On the defensive side of the ball, Arizona State's Will Sutton took home the Pat Tillman Defensive Player of the Year award.

The relentless pass-rusher totaled a ridiculous 20.0 tackles for loss (first in the conference) and 10.5 sacks (third). He also added five pass deflections and three forced fumbles for a Sun Devils defense that ranked second in the Pac-12 in total yards allowed per game and constantly forced opposing teams into costly turnovers. 

Let's take a look at the rest of the awards and all-conference teams, which come courtesy of Pac-12.com
