From Staff and Wire Reports

Washington running back Napoleon Kaufman and USC tackle Tony Boselli were named to the All-Pacific 10 Conference team for the third season in a row, and Oregon’s Rose Bowl-bound Danny O’Neil beat out Stanford’s Steve Stenstrom for the quarterback spot on the first unit, announced Monday.

O’Neil’s 20 passing touchdowns with only seven interceptions in leading the Ducks to Pasadena apparently impressed Pac-10 coaches more than Stenstrom’s leadership in total offense.

Kaufman and Washington State linebacker Mark Fields were the top offensive and defensive players.
