Western Kentucky's football team led the league with 13 players on PFF College's All-Conference USA Teams and quarterback Bailey Zappe was named Offensive Player of the Year, the website and media outlet announced this week.
WKU's 13 players on the first, second and third teams beat UAB (12), UTSA (nine) and Marshall (eight) as the next-closest programs. The Hilltoppers' six on the first team also led the league, with the Blazers (five) as the only other school with more than three.
Zappe leads the nation with 4,968 passing yards (517 more than Mississippi State's Will Rogers) and 52 touchdowns (12 more than Pitt's Kenny Pickett and Alabama's Bryce Young).
