ACC Football Photos Blog

It was not a good week for the Atlantic Coast Conference. It was sooo bad that too many ACC participants made Kevin Paul’s College Football’s Week One All-Chump Team.

Below is a list of the ACC honorees from Kevin’s list.

College football has begun—well, for most teams.  There are those that didn’t show up over the weekend.  Don’t worry though, they get awards too—specifically, they’re named to the All-Chump Team for Week One.

Here they are: Read ‘em and weep!

QUARTERBACK

Backup

Sean Glennon, Virginia Tech

14 for 23, 139 yards, two INT

It’s time for the Hokies to remove Tyrod Taylor’s redshirt and replace it with…well, a red shirt—maroon red, that is.

RUNNING BACK

Starters

James Davis and C.J. Spiller, Clemson Tigers

Combined for eight carries and 20 yards rushing against Alabama

Clemson’s dynamic duo only running for the big two-oh?  That simply won’t get it done.

TRENCHES: O-LINE & D-LINE

Starter

North Carolina D-Line

No sacks vs. McNeese State

Someone in powder blue has to be picked on—especially after the supposedly much-improved Heels struggled to defeat McNeese State.

Backup

South Carolina O-Line

Allowed five sacks to North Carolina State during their 34-0 victory.

Even shutouts can be deceiving.  The Wolfpack may have been blanked on the board, but they exposed holes on the Gamecocks by getting five sacks, along with four picks of Beecher.

RUSH DEFENSE

Backup

Clemson

Gave up 239 total yards on the ground to Alabama in a 34-10 loss

‘Bama had two backs with 90-plus yards on the ground, one of which was Glen Coffee.   I guess it’s true—caffeine will kill ya.

SPECIAL TEAMS

Starter

Virginia Tech

Punt blocked for TD with under two minutes to go

The Hokies’ special teams group was decent throughout, but when it was crunch time, they gave up the play that ultimately lost them the game.

Backup

Scott Blair, Georgia Tech

0-2 FGs and 5-6 on extra points versus Jacksonville State

OK, so the Yellow Jackets didn’t need the points this week, but with Boston College as Tech’s next opponent, Blair is going to have to stop kicking like Ray Finkle.

Laces out!
