The Miami Hurricanes’ defense is terrorizing opponents, and the Atlantic Coast Conference honored two of their standouts — among many — on Monday.
Defensive end Joe Jackson was named ACC Defensive Lineman of the Week and linebacker Shaq Quarterman was named ACC Co-Linebacker of the Week for their outstanding performances on Thursday in the University of Miami’s 47-10 victory over North Carolina.
This week, the No. 17 Canes (4-1, 1-0 ACC) are preparing to face the Florida State Seminoles (3-2, 1-2) at 3:30 p.m. Saturday (ABC) at Hard Rock Stadium, and UM again will need a strong defensive performance against FSU quarterback Deondre Francois.
