Big Ten Player of the Year

Dan Connor, LB Penn State
The latest "greatest Penn State linebacker ever," Connor might not have been Paul Posluszny, but he was consistently tremendous with eight double-digit tackle games, 136 stops on the year with seven sacks and 17 tackles for loss. He was at his best in the biggest games with 18 tackles against Ohio State, 12 against Wisconsin and 13 against Michigan State.

Offensive Player of the Year - Jake Long, OT Michigan
Through injuries to Chad Henne and Mike Hart, and with problems early on in the year with the rough start, Long was the one constant throughout the season. He might not have been spectacular like a Rashard Mendenhall or explosive like a James Hardy, but he came up with a strong senior year and proved why he'll likely be a top five draft pick.
