ACC awards for this past week

[WoadBlue]

Back of week Mitch Trubisky and Receiver of week Ryan Switzer

Those were obvious.

DL of week is Ken Ekanem of VT. If I remember correctly, we were in his final 3. A couple guys like we miss on D, and we will have the D we need.

Funny, I saw Ekanem's name this week and thought the exact same thing. But when I went to look at some of the recruiting stories about him, he mentioned VT, Oregon, and one other school (not UNC) as finalists. I could've sworn we were in the mix but don't trust my memory much anymore.

Well deserved by Both our guys.

"UNC’s Trubisky was also named the Walter Camp National Offensive Player of the Week, giving the ACC three recipients of that award in the first four weeks of the season."


"Trubisky tied the school record for TD passes in a game and set an ACC and school record with 30 consecutive completions over two games (final 18 attempts Sept. 17 vs. James Madison, first 12 vs. Pitt). Trubisky’s 453 passing yards were the second-most in for a single game in UNC history behind Marquise Williams’ 494 versus Duke in 2015. UNC has played 1,271 football games, and Trubisky posted the school’s second- and fourth-highest single-game passing yardage totals in a span of eight days (432 yards versus James Madison, 453 versus Pitt)"

"Switzer tied the ACC and school record with 16 receptions for a career-high 208 yards and one touchdown in the Tar Heels’ 37-36 win over Pitt. Only eight other ACC players have caught 16 passes in a single game. Switzer also became the sixth Tar Heel to have 200-plus receiving yards in a game. His previous high was 136 against Georgia Tech in 2014. It was his seventh career game with 100 or more receiving yards. Switzer ranks in the top 10 in UNC history in receptions (third) and receiving yards (fifth) and touchdown receptions (t-seventh)."
