GoPSUsports.com - Paterno, Robinson and Hali win major awards

Click above for all the details. The Big Ten gives out awards based on votes from coaches and votes from coaches and media - it's a little confusing - but....

Michael Robinson won Offensive Player of the Year and was named to the second team all-conference.

Tamba Hali was named Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year - and first team all-conference. Side note - Hali was a unanimous choice for Lineman of the Year and by both groups as all-conference (only athlete to do so).

Five other Lions earned first team all-conference: Paul Posluszny; Alan Zemaitis; Calvin Lowry; Scott Paxson (way to go Scotty!); and, Levi Brown.

Four Lions were named to the second team all-conference roster: Robinson; Tony Hunt; Jay Alford; and, Matthew Rice. (Brown and Lowry were named to the second team by the media)

AND Joe Paterno has been named Coach of the Year.
