Stunning news: (http://www.theacc.com/#!/news-detail/acc-football-players-of-the-week-for-september-15-2014-09-15)
ROOKIE – Shaun Wilson, Duke, Fr., RB, 5-9, 180, Charlotte, N.C.
Wilson set the Duke single-game record for rushing yards with 245 yards on 12 attempts in Saturday’s 41-3 win over visiting Kansas, breaking the previous mark of 238 yards set by Robert Baldwin versus Maryland in 1994. Wilson is the first FBS player since at least 2000 to rush for 240 or more yards on 12 or fewer carries. Wilson rushed for three touchdowns on runs of 45, 68 and 69 yards to match the Duke single-game record for total points (18) by a freshman, equaling the standard set by DeVon Edwards vs. NC State in 2013. Wilson’s rushing yardage total marks the fourth-highest single-game total by a freshman in ACC history, trailing North Carolina’s Amos Lawrence (286 versus Virginia in 1977), Virginia Tech’s Darren Evans (253 versus Maryland in 2008) and Wake Forest’s James McDougald (249 versus Clemson in 1976).
