BRISTOL, Conn. -- TCU linebacker Tank Carder has been selected to ESPN.com's 2010-11 All-Bowl Team.
A first-team All-American, Carder was named the Rose Bowl's Defensive Most Valuable Player following TCU's 21-19 victory over Wisconsin. It capped a 13-0 season for the second-ranked Horned Frogs.
Carder broke up the Badgers' potential game-tying 2-point pass with exactly two minutes to play. The Sweeny, Texas, native totaled six tackles in the contest, including three for loss with a sack.
After TCU took a 21-13 lead on its opening possession of the second half, Wisconsin drove to the Horned Frogs' 37 on its ensuring series. On a third-and-6, Carder recorded a sack for an 8-yard loss.
In 2011, Carder will be one of six returning starters on a TCU defense that led the nation in total defense for a third straight season.
