Trae Williams on Big East honor roll

Trae Williams' third interception returned for a touchdown in four games? Not good enough. Ben Moffitt's 10 tackles and a 60-yard interception return? Not good enough. Tyrone McKenzie's career-best 18 tackles? Again, not good enough. West Virginia's Morrty Ivy, who had 11 tackles, including three for losses, and a forced fumble in the Mountaineers' 66-21 win against Connecticut, was honored as the Big East defensive player of the week.

Williams was named to the weekly honor roll -- I think they only allow one per team there. Pitt's Scott McKillup, who had 18 tackles against the Bulls, didn't make that cut either, with LeSean McCoy and his three touchdowns representing the Panthers on the honor roll.

Any recognition is good. It doesn't always have to be the top award. Getting the honor roll is still a big deal, considering all the other great performances on Saturday!

Trae will get his award when he receives his fat signing bonus after next year's NFL draft.

Fantastic game by Trae and the defense!

Greg why haven't you mentioned anything about Andre Halls day yesterday? 98 yards on 26 carries and 69 yards receiving. And not to mention he injured his ankle on his first carry. He was limping the whole game.

I agree with the above comments that any recognition is good, and I also believe there is a bias in the awards. That was evident to me a couple of weeks or so ago when Grothe had a tremendous game but Pat White was awarded the offensive player award. I guess USF, being the relative new kid on the block, has to continue to gain in reputation to be a favorite of the league.
