ARRINGTON WINS BUTKUS AWARD AS TOP LINEBACKER

(AP) - Penn State's LaVar Arrington won the Butkus Award on
Friday night as college football's top linebacker. Arrington, a
junior, beat out teammate Brandon Short, Kansas State's Mark
Simoneau and Tennessee's Raynoch Thompson for the award presented
by the Downtown Athletic Club of Orlando, Fla. "I wish I could
spilt the award with them," Arrington said. "I don't think you
could have a better list of finalists." The award was the second
in as many days for Arrington. He won the Chuck Bednarik Award as
the top defensive player Thursday. Arrington had 72 tackles, nine
sacks and 20 tackles for a loss this season. He also blocked two
kicks, including a field goal attempt with four seconds left in
Penn State's 20-17 victory over Pittsburgh. The award is named
for Dick Butkus, the former Illinois and Chicago Bears star.
