Cortland's Rigby
earns honor
CLARION, Pa. — Kevin Rigby, a senior outside linebacker for the Clarion University football team from Lakeview High, was named by D-2Football.com as its national NCAA Division II Football Defensive "Player of the Week" for his performance against Slippery Rock last Saturday, despite the Golden Eagles' 31-7 loss.
Rigby (6-2, 215), who also was named PSAC-West defensive "Player of the Week" earlier in the week, registered 13 tackles, including four of them for losses of 7 yards. He also caused two fumbles, recovered one fumble, intercepted one pass and defended against another pass.
Rigby has 32 tackles this season, including five tackles for losses, and has two fumbles and as many interceptions.
For his four-year career to date, Rigby has 163 tackles, including 18 for losses. He also has eight sacks and has caused four fumbles, and has six interceptions and has broken up nine passes.
The son of Jeff and Carol Rigby of Cortland, he is majoring in marketing.
Colclough claims
neck injury
PITTSBURGH — Steelers cornerback Ricardo Colclough said Wednesday he may have a "serious" neck injury, but he hasn't learned the results of tests that may determine how badly he is hurt.
The Steelers have said only that Colclough reported the injury after returning from their three-day break last weekend.
The team hasn't played since Colclough's muffed punt inside the 10-yard line led to Cincinnati's pivotal touchdown in a 28-20 victory in Pittsburgh on Sept. 24.
Colclough was allowed to practice Wednesday — something he wouldn't be permitted to do if the Steelers were concerned about the injury — but has been told to avoid contact for now.
"I really don't know too much about what's going on, until the test results come back and we sit down and talk about it," he said.
