Pac-12 fumbles away chance to honor UA's Matthews
The Pac-12 blew it last week when it did not select UA junior linebacker Jake Matthews to its 2015 first-team all-academic squad. Matthews has a 3.4 GPA in neurology and is taking a class-load that includes calculus, organic chemistry and biostatistics. The league put Matthews on the second team; he is seventh on the UA with 47 tackles. The Pac-12 put ASU linebacker Chans Cox on the first team. Cox has made one tackle this year and played in just two games. He has a 3.8 GPA in criminology.
