Minnesota's Brien Boddy-Calhoun had 51 tackles last season to go with five interceptions, two tackles for loss, nine passes broken up, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.
The college football season doesn't start for over another month, but the past two weeks have been another season of sorts: the announcement of award watch lists.
These lists are, by and large, irrelevant. Players can make the watch list and flame out. Or not make the watch list and end up winning the award (which does happen). Also, some lists are quite inclusive -- the Bednarik Award, for example, had 80 players on its watch list.
