From ACC press release
"Three Virginia Tech student-athletes earned Atlantic Coast Conference weekly football honors following the Hokies’ 17-10 road win at Georgia Tech on Thursday night, and two apiece were recognized from Florida State and Duke.
Virginia Tech guard Andrew Miller was named the ACC Offensive Lineman of the Week after posting 11 knockdown blocks in Thursday night’s win, while defensive tackle Derrick Hopkins, who led an effort that limited the Yellow Jackets to 129 rushing yards, was named ACC Defensive Lineman of the Week. \Cornerback Brandon Facyson (a key fumble recovery and an interception) earned Co-Rookie of the Week accolades.
Florida State redshirt freshman quarterback Jameis Winston, who threw for 330 yards and four touchdowns in the Seminoles’ 48-34 win at Boston College, was named the ACC Offensive Back of the Week. Winston received his third weekly honor of the season after twice being named the ACC Rookie of the Week. The Seminoles’ Telvin Smith was named the ACC Linebacker of the Week after making 10 tackles, including a quarterback sack, in the win over the Eagles.
Duke’s Jamison Crowder was named the ACC Receiver of the Week and joined Winston in earning conference weekly honors for the third time. Crowder, named ACC Specialist of the Week on two prior occasions, had seven catches for 149 yards and a touchdown in the Blue Devils’ 38-31 win over Troy. Duke safety Jeremy Cash (14 tackles and a key interception) was voted the ACC Defensive Back of the Week.
NC State’s Rashard Smith was named the ACC Specialist of the Week after his 87-yard punt return for a touchdown in a 48-14 win over Central Michigan. Miami’s Stacy Coley was named the ACC Co-Rookie of the Week after catching two touchdown passes in the Hurricanes’ 49-21 win at South Florida.
RECEIVER – Jamison Crowder, Duke, Jr., WR, 5-9, 175, Monroe, N.C.
Crowder averaged 21.3 yards per reception in Saturday’s 38-31 win over visiting Troy, and six of his seven receptions produced Duke first downs. Crowder’s big day included a touchdown reception of 60 yards, which extended his school record for touchdown receptions of 50 yards or more to seven. With 149 receiving yards, Crowder posted his third triple-digit yardage receiving game this season and the eighth of his career. Crowder also returned two punts for 31 yards to finish with 180 all-purpose yards.
DEFENSIVE BACK – Jeremy Cash, Duke, So., S, 6-2, 210, Plantation, Fla.
Cash helped Duke to a 38-31 win over Troy by registering 14 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and one interception. The interception – the first of Cash’s career – came at the Blue Devils’ 6-yard line following the game’s final snap and preserved the win. Cash, who established career single-game bests for total tackles and tackles for loss, leads the ACC in both tackles (51) and tackles per game (10.2)."
