On Monday, the Big Ten announced that Miller was named the conference’s Griese-Brees Quarterback of the Year and that Hyde was named the Ameche-Dayne Running Back of the Year. Both Miller and Hyde were first-team all-conference selections as voted by the coaches and the media.

The junior quarterback and senior running back were two of ten Buckeyes to earn All-Big Ten honors, which were announced Monday afternoon on the Big Ten Network.

St. John’s Jesuit graduate Jack Mewhort of Ohio State was a first-team selection at offensive line by the media and a second-team selection by the coaches.

Michigan had five players named to the all-conference teams, including left tackle Taylor Lewan, who was named the Rimington-Pace offensive lineman of the year; and Devin Funchess, who was named the Kwalick-Clark Tight End of the Year.
