Something like this really deserved to be mentioned yesterday, but with the Purdue game, that took priority a little. But Pitt running back Qadree Ollison and safety Jordan Whitehead were named the ACC's Offensive and Defensive Rookies of the Year, respectively on Tuesday.
On Monday Ollison was named to the All-Conference Second Team and Whitehead made the Third Team.
Ollison gave Pitt yet another 1,000-yard rusher as he finished with 1,048 total to help lessen the blow of losing James Conner just a bit. He certainly had some ups and downs but to finish with 1,000+ yards, a 5.
