NEW YORK -- The Associated Press released their All-Time All-Big 12 team Wednesday and 10 spots were taken by in-state schools.

Oklahoma Sooners’ head coach Bob Stoops was named the All-Time All-Big 12 coach after receiving 18 of the 20 votes.

On the offensive line, OU’s Jamaal Brown and OSU’s Russell Okung were named two of the four interior linemen to the squad, along with Texas’ Justin Blalock and Nebraska’s Aaron Taylor.

Rashaun Woods was one of two receivers named to the list along with Texas Tech’s Michael Crabtree, while Adrian Peterson shared running back honors with Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams.

Defensively it was all Oklahoma, grabbing five of the 12 spots on the defensive side of the ball.
