Wilson Named To Big East Honor Roll

Sometimes I really wonder who votes on this stuff. I mean seriously how is making 17 tackles not good enough for Big East Defensive Player of the Week Honors.

Louisville wide receiver Scott Long (84) carries the ball on a reception as Connecticut linebacker Lawrence Wilson (8) moves in for the tackle during the second half Saturday at Rentschler Field - AP PhotoUConn Huskies linebacker Lawrence Wilson, who is the leading tackler in the Big East East,  was named to the Big East Honor Roll for his efforts this past weekend.

In the 56-31 win over the Syracuse Orange, Wilson made 17 tackles and also had a sack.

On the season for the Huskies, Wilson has made 130 tackles, including 10 for a loss and has four sacks. He’s also forced two fumbles and recovered two as well.

And on another note while I’m ranting, how is the three touchdown effort by UConn running back Andre Dixon not good enough for the Honor Roll? Or even the kickoff return for a touchdown by Michael Lang?
