The Cowboys didn’t quite get it done it down in the win-loss column, but there were a couple of individual efforts that the league felt were worth recognition.
Punter Wes Pahl was named to the All-Big 12’s first team while redshirt freshman edge rusher Wendell Gregory was named the Big 12’s Defensive Freshman of the Year as well as being a third-team selection.
Gregory hit the ground running (or sacking), with three quarterback takedowns in his debut against UT-Martin. He went on a drought until the Cowboys’ penultimate game at UCF. But the rookie still ended with 4.
