This is what they said about the other LBs:
If you look at DL, they had a very good day too. The big difference between PFF and ACC weekly honors is don't think PFF takes into account the competition as much as the ACC. I think the ACC rightfully gives more preference for games against ACC or top tier P5 opponents.
By the way, Newman was 2nd team QB. He was 1st team the previous two weeks. Walker was 2nd team RB. Benzinger was 2nd team OT. Bothroyd was 2nd team DI (presumably DT or NG).
[h=3]Linebacker[/h] [h=5]David Curry, Georgia Tech[/h] The Yellow Jackets had to go up against the option offense, and despite losing to The Citadel, Curry had a dominant performance that saw him rack up 10 defensive stops on 14 total tackles without a single whiff. He was targeted once in coverage and had an interception to boot.
Second-Team LB: Dax Hollifield, Virginia Tech
[h=3]Linebacker[/h] [h=5]James Skalski, Clemson[/h] Clemson blew out Syracuse in the end and Skalski was a big reason why on defense, recording seven total defensive stops including two sacks and five more in run defense. He allowed all of 17 yards in coverage and had four total quarterback pressures on the afternoon.
Second-Team LB: Zane Zandier, Virginia
