Bowman honored

Penn State linebacker Navorro Bowman was named co-defensive player of the week Monday morning.

No surprise there. The surprise was that he shared the award.

Bowman had 11 tackles, three sacks, two more tackles for losses, forced a fumble and had an interception in his first career start, a 45-3 win Saturday over Temple.

He split the award with Northwestern end Vince Browne, who had seven tackles, three sacks and a forced fumble in a win over Ohio.

Nothing against Browne, but Bowman probably should have won the award outright. He had the same amount of sacks, one more tackle for loss, four more tackles overall and an interception.

The Roster

Travis Johnson Mug

Travis Johnson is a senior majoring in journalism and political science and a football reporter for the Collegian. He's previously covered the wrestling, baseball and women's golf teams. Travis loves to drive fast with the windows down and the rock 'n' roll blaring — even in the winter.

Josh Langenbacher Mug

Josh Langenbacher has written for the Collegian since his junior year and covered the women's track and field team. He's hoping he doesn't have to rescue any colleagues from telephone booths in the HUB — or anywhere else, for that matter.

Andrew Wible Mug

Andrew Wible is a junior majoring in journalism and a football reporter for the Daily Collegian. He has also covered the men's and women's basketball teams. A confused soul, he listens to rap, plays golf and hunts. And like any true Pennsylvanian, he treats the Monday after Thanksgiving as a national holiday.
