Willy Is Player of the Week

UB’s own Drew Willy was named the MAC-East offensive player of the week.

Oh, excuse me, Co-Player of the week. Thanks alot, Bowling Green tight end Jimmy Scheidler.

Now I realize that in terms of prestige this rivals the Silver Sow awards (but not quite up there with the “Buckeye Newshawk Award”), but still, progress is progress.

And that on the heels of his getting love on the sports interwebs (via Deadspin)

After seeing Pitt fumble their way to a loss against Bowling Green, the Bulls have to at least be hopeful as they prepare for a road test that could set the tone for their season. A loss isn’t the end of the world, but a win would send this program to new heights.

And remember, Dave Wannstedt is involved, and there’s always hope when he is around.

UPDATE: Wannstedt is screwed. The dreaded “vote of confidence” came from the AD.
