Vaughn Defensive Player of week-- WVU on ESPNU

Huskies safety Robert Vaughn was named Defensive Player of the Week.

Vaughn had 10 tackles, one tackle for loss and two interceptions, including a 20-yard return for a touchdown, in the Huskies’ 24-21 loss at Pittsburgh that wasn’t decided until the game’s final play. Vaughn had his 11th and 12th career interceptions to remain the active leader among BIG EAST players and fourth among active Bowl Subdivision players.

Running back Noel Devine of West Virginia was the BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week while Pittsburgh kicker Dan Hutchins was named the Special Teams Player of the Week.

The Huskies Oct. 24 game at West Virginia will be at noon and held on ESPNU. Now that most of the state (except Fairfield County) gets the U, this is a good thing.
