TAMPA - USF senior linebacker Kion Wilson was named BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week, while quarterback B.J. Daniels was named to the offensive honor roll Monday by the league office.

Despite being a game time decision, Wilson led a Bulls defense that limited West Virginia to 323 yards of total offense and held Heisman-candidate Noel Devine to 42 yards rushing.  Wilson had a game-high 12 tackles, one interception and 2.5 tackles for loss. 

Daniels had 336 yards of total offense, three passing touchdowns and 104 yards rushing in leading USF to a 30-19 win over No. 20 West Virginia. Daniels had more yards of total offense than the entire West Virginia team.

Wilson is the third defensive player to earn the conference's weekly honor joining Jason Pierre-Paul (9/28) and Nate Allen (10/4).  It is the second honor roll appearance for Daniels, who also earned the recognition after the Florida State win.

Yesterday, Wilson was named co-national linebacker of the week by CollegeFootballPerformance.com, while Daniels and kicker Eric Schwartz earned honorable mention at their positions.

No. 25 (BCS ranking) USF has a bye this weekend before its Thursday night tilt at Rutgers on Nov. 12.
