Good news: Defensive backs Andrew Adams and Jhavon Williams received honorable mention nods from the College Football Performance Awards.
Bad news: The American Athletic Conference released its all-conference steams on Wednesday and no one from UConn was recognized. In fact, the Huskies were the only team in the conference not to put a player on the all-conferences squad.
Memphis had six players on the first team -- and 10 overall -- while ECU and UCF had nine players each recognized.
Here's the complete list of awards and winners (via the New Haven Register):
