Offensive Gopher All-Decade Team

[The Representative]

Alright; so the Cal game is over and done with. We each have our own perspectives, but today's game made me wonder...if you had to assemble an “Offensive Gopher All-Decade Team,” and compile a team of current and former Gophers from the past decade (2000-2010), would any of the current players make the team? In my opinion, from this year’s team, I feel Decker would make the cut, however, I believe a significant portion of this year’s talent, would serve as backups on previous Gopher teams. Nonetheless, here’s my selection:

FIRST TEAM:

QUATERBACK:
Asad Abdul-Khaliq

RUNNINGBACK
Laurence Maroney

WIDE RECEIVER
Eric Decker
Ron Johnson

TIGHT-END
Matt Spaeth
Ben Utecht

OFFENSIVE LINE
Adam Haayer
Mark Setterstrom
Ben Hamilton
Greg Eslinger
Rian Melander

SECOND TEAM:

QUATERBACK:
Adam Weber

RUNNINGBACK
Marion Barber

WIDE RECEIVER
Aaron Hosack
Logan Payne

TIGHT-END
Matt Spaeth
Jack Simmons

OFFENSIVE LINE
Tony Brinkhaus
Joe Quinn
Joe Ainsle
Jeremiah Carter
Nick Tow-Arnett
