USF's Daniels earns Big East offensive honors

NOVEMBER 23, 2009

No real surprise, but USF quarterback B.J. Daniels has been named Big East Offensive Player of the Week after piling up 445 yards of total offense and three touchdowns in the Bulls' 34-22 win against Louisville.

Daniels set career highs with 304 passing yards and 141 rushing yards, becoming the first player in Big East history to throw for 300 and rush for 100 in the same game. He wasn't the only Bulls player honored by the league, as linebacker Kion WIlson made the conference's weekly honor roll after leading USF with 12 tackles, including two for losses.

It's the third time this season a USF player has earned one of the Big East's weekly honors -- defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul got the defensive nod on Sept. 28 after USF's win against Florida State, and Wilson was defensive player of the week after the West Virginia game. Daniels is the second freshman to win the conference's offensive award this season, following Pittsburgh running Dion Lewis on Oct. 19.
