Conference USA announced its 2002 All-Conference football teams today, as selected by the league's 10 head coaches and media members in each conference city. Regular season champion TCU placed a league-high 10 players on the all-conference teams, with five first team and five second team selections.
Six members of the Horned Frogs No. 2 nationally-ranked defense dot the list, led by senior linebacker LaMarcus McDonald, defensive lineman Bo Schobel and cornerback Jason Goss, all first team members. McDonald leads the league in for tackles for loss with 28, ranking fifth in total tackles with 113 and second in sacks with 10, while Goss is second in C-USA in interceptions (7) and pass breakups (28). Defensive linemen Chad Pugh and John Turntine along with safety Kenneth Hilliard were second team selections.
The Frogs were also represented on the first team by senior offensive lineman Jamal Powell and placekicker Nick Browne. LaTarence Dunbar was a second team selection both at wide receiver and at kick returner.
In addition, the league also announced its All-Freshman team. TCU was represented on that squad by tailback Lonta Hobbs and defensive end Rannoris Ray.
Conference USA will announce its Offensive, Defensive, and Special Teams Players of the Year, as well as the Freshman of the Year and Coach of the Year on Thursday, December 5.
