| 4th December, 2007 - 5:26 pm | ESPN - A day after their teams landed in the national championship game, LSU defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey and Ohio State linebacker James Laurinaitis spent Monday night playfully talking trash in a hotel ballroom.
They left with Dorsey holding the upper hand -- for now.
Behind his 64 tackles and six sacks, Dorsey beat out Laurinaitis to win the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, awarded to the nation's top defensive player by the Charlotte Touchdown Club.
"We've got to go at it," explained Dorsey, who has 11 1/2 tackles for a loss despite being hampered by a sore knee late in the season. "We met over the summertime at the Playboy All-America thing. We got to know each other then. It's going to be interesting. It's going to be fun."
Dorsey unseated Laurinaitis, who last year became the first sophomore to win the Nagurski. Laurinaitis has put up gaudy numbers again this season, with 103 tackles and five sacks while anchoring the nation's top defense. [READ] |
