[Lou Somogyi]

Six tackles for loss by a nose guard in victory will do that.

Notre Dame tackle Jarron Jones has been named the FWAA/Bronko Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Week for his performance in a 30-27 victory over Miami last Saturday in South Bend.

Jones, a 6-5½, 315-pound senior from Rochester, N.Y., had six tackles for 24 yards in losses against Miami, one of which was a sack. The six tackles are the most tackles for loss by any player in the FBS this season. Jones is only the 23rd FBS player since 2000 to have at least six tackles for a loss in a game. Notre Dame held Miami to 18 yards rushing.
