LSU defensive tackle is SEC defensive lineman of the week

BATON ROUGE, La. - LSU defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey was named the Southeastern Conference Defensive Lineman of the Week following his performance in the Tigers&#39; 45-3 win over Arizona on Saturday.<br> <br> The honor is the first of Dorsey&#39;s career and the first for an LSU player this season.<br> <br> Dorsey registered four tackles and 1.5 tackles for a loss against the Wildcats. Dorsey combined with linebacker Darry Beckwith for a half sack in the first quarter against the Wildcats and he later added a tackle for a 7-yard loss.<br> <br> In all, Dorsey helped a Tiger defense limit Arizona to only 35 yards rushing for the game and just 152 yards of total offense.<br> <br> LSU&#39;s defense also extended its streak of keeping the opponent out of the endzone to 14 quarters, which ranks as the nation&#39;s longest current streak. LSU&#39;s defense hasn&#39;t allowed a touchdown since the second quarter of the Georgia contest a year ago.<br> <br> Other SEC honors handed out on Monday include: quarterback Erik Ainge of Tennessee as the offensive player of the week; defensive end Charles Johnson of Georgia as the defensive player of the week; placekicker Leigh Tiffin of Alabama as the special teams player of the week; offensive guard Ben Grubbs of Auburn as the offensive lineman of the week; and wide receiver Percy Harvin of Florida as the freshman of the week.<br> <br> (Copyright 2006 by The Associated Press.
