DURHAM, N.C. – Duke senior Koby Quansah and redshirt junior Jack Wohlabaugh both picked up ACC Player of the Week accolades following the Blue Devils' 45-10 win at Virginia Tech this past Friday.
Â
Quansah was tabbed the linebacker of the week, while Wohlabaugh was selected the offensive lineman of the week. The two give Duke its first weekly award recognition of the season.
Â
Quansah had a game-high 13 tackles, a fumble recovery, a half-sack and a pass breakup in Duke's win last Friday. His fumble recovery in the second quarter led to Duke's first touchdown, which jump-started a run of 31-straight points for the Blue Devils. He led a Duke defense that limited Virginia Tech to 259 yards of total offense after the Hokies entered the week averaging 27.7 points and 398.3 total yards per game. Virginia Tech went just 4-of-12 (.333) on third-down conversions after entering the week leading the ACC with a .522 third-down conversion rate. He also helped stymie a Virginia Tech aerial game into 8-of-20 passing for 120 yards and only two completions of more than 10 yards.
Â
Wohlabaugh spearheaded a Duke offense that produced 45 points, 24 first downs and 422 total yards in Friday night's win. The Blue Devils committed zero turnovers, surrendered zero sacks and converted 7-of-14 third-down snaps. Wohlabaugh opened holes for a rushing attack that compiled 234 yards on 41 attempts (5.7 yards per rush) and three touchdowns, while allowing just four total negative yards on the night. He also provided protection for a Duke passing game that completed 21-of-28 pass attempts (.750) for 188 yards and three touchdowns, while not surrendering a sack for the third-straight game.
Â
The ACC's other weekly honors included Florida State's Alex Hornibrook (Quarterback), Cyrus Fagan (Defensive Back) and Amari Gainer (Rookie), Boston College's AJ Dillon (Running Back), Clemson's Tee Higgins (Receiver), N.C. State's Larrell Murchison (Defensive Lineman) and Syracuse's Sterling Hofrichter (Specialist).
Â
The Blue Devils return to action Saturday at 8:00 p.m. when they host Pittsburgh. The game will be televised by the ACC Network.
