Johnson And Bruschi Honored By Coaches As Pac-10 Standouts

Compiled From Wire Services

Southern California wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson and Arizona defensive end Tedy Bruschi were selected by Pacific-10 Conference football coaches Monday as the league’s offensive and defensive players of the year.

Johnson, a senior, broke the conference’s single-season receiving mark with 90 catches for 1,218 yards and six touchdowns.

“Johnson is as good as any wide receiver I’ve ever been around,” USC coach John Robinson said.

Bruschi, also a senior, led the conference in quarterback sacks with 14.5 for 96 yards in losses, and had 19.5 tackles for a loss.

“Tedy gave us tremendous play on the defensive line,” Arizona coach Dick Tomey said. “He knows what it takes and he always gives the effort. His motor never stopped running.”
