A win wasn’t the only award for the Syracuse Orange football team following a thrilling 39-30 overtime win over Wake Forest on Saturday. The ACC announced players of the week on Monday, and included in that group were two different Syracuse players: Defensive back Trill Williams and kicker Andre Szmyt.
Trill collected a career-high eight tackles against Wake, but his biggest moment was on the game’s final play. As it looked like the Deacons’ Kendall Hinton was about to run in for the game-winning score in OT, Williams stripped the receiver of the football and returned it the length of the field for a touchdown.
