Another big win for the Syracuse Orange means our friends down on Tobacco Road take notice with some weekly awards. For the first time this season, ‘Cuse has multiple players recognized by the ACC.
The three Orange standouts are:
- Linebacker - Keilan Whitner: The senior racked up a career-high 11 tackles (eight solo) and forced a fumber. While Whitner didn’t get in on the party, the Orange defense created tons of pressure and sacked Florida State’s Deondre Francois four times on Saturday.
- Specialist - Andrew Szmyt: The redshirt freshman recorded 12 of Syracuse’s 30 points, connecting on all three field goal attempts (all within 25 yards) and all three of his PATs.
