What does a linebacker have to do to get noticed? University of Wisconsin senior Mike Taylor led the Big Ten Conference in tackles last season with 150, which was the third-highest total in the country. He ranked 13th nationally with an average of 10.7 tackles per game. Yet, Taylor was not on the Butkus Award watch list announced on Monday. The Big Ten placed nine players on the list, including UW junior Chris Borland.
