Just a reminder that the Butkus Award is being handed out tomorrow, not tonight. I'm not sure if it's going to be televised, but we should make sure we send out good thoughts in Dizon's direction. The guy deserves it.
Jordon Dizon
Big 12 Defensive Player of the year
2nd in Total Tackles this year (149)
1st in Solo Tackles (107)
11 Solo Tackles for a loss
2 INT's, one for a TD
4 sacks

He has played in every game since his freshman year. I find that amazing (not suprised, however).
Other Butkus Finalists:
Dan Connor (Penn State)
http://web1.ncaa.org/d1mfb/playerDetail.jsp?yr=2007&org=539&player=40
70 Total Tackles
66 (11 for loss) Solo Tackles
7 Sacks
1 INT
James Laurinaitis (Ohio State)
http://web1.ncaa.org/d1mfb/playerDetail.jsp?yr=2007&org=518&player=33
Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year
64 Total Tackles
39 Solo Tackles (6 for a loss)
5 Sacks
2 INT's
Even if a judge didn't watch any of these guys on film, just looking at the stats makes it clearly obvious that Dizon should win this award hands down. IMO Laurinitis is soooooooo soooooo soooo overrated as is the whole Big(11)Ten.
