As we found out yesterday, UConn Huskies running back Donald Brown was named the Big East Offensive Player of the Year.

“It’s a great honor to be recognized by the coaches in the Big East with this award,” Brown said. “It really means a lot to me. I think awards like this also help our program out considerably. The more attention and recognition that the school can get will show that the program continues to build and go in the right direction.”

Joe Perez of the Norwich Bulletin wonders why Brown wasn’t a finalist for the Doak Walker Award.

Brown was also named the Big East Offensive MVP by ESPN.com’s Brian Bennett.

Donald Brown, Cody Brown, Darius Butler and Jasper Howard were named to ESPN.com’s All-Big East Team.
