Miller, Ihedigbo and Baylark named AP All-Americans

Lost in all the publicity in the drive to the National Championship game was the notice that Alex Miller and James Ihedigbo were named First Team Associated Press All-Americans. Steve Baylark was named 2nd Team All-American.

Eleven A10 football players were named AP All-Americans.
