WR Skyler Bell is the first Associated Press First Team All-American in program history

Donald Brown rushing for 2083 yards and 18 TD in 2008 is better IMHO. Bell had a phenomenal year but Brown also was playing against good competition and absolutely steamrolling teams.

And Donald Brown actually played out the season and dominated the bowl game.

This is a teammate for life. I hope Kasan has a monster game. How does Army prepare, no film on him.

Bell is one for the UConn FB hall of fame, as far as I'm concerned.

Great to hear he is playing and that ought to make Husky fans happy.

Hats off to Skyler. He has the most to lose playing in Fenway but he understands the now old fashioned concepts of teamwork, brotherhood, finishing what you start and standing on the shoulders of giants. He is a Giant and UConn legend.
