The ACC announced their all-ACC teams today. No shock that Aaron Donald was on the first team squad. What I found mildly surprising was that he wasn’t a unanimous pick. The only unanimous pick was BC RB Andre Williams. Even FSU QB Jameis Winston or UNC TE Eric Ebron couldn’t get all unanimous picks. Rough crowd.
Tyler Boyd was second team All-ACC. Devin Street was on the third team. Offensive guard Matt Rotheram and safeties Jason Hendricks and Ray Vinopal were all honorable mention.
dollars from the bowl games this year from the 11 teams that made bowls that is over and above what espn pays us for tv rights, that is just from the bowl games.
the AAC you know the old big east will get abought 11 mllion from there 6 bowl teams just some info for you.
Curious to see what the freshman QBs look like next year but a real shame we can’t get Savage back for a second season…he really made strides during the year and showed a lot of grit and leadership. Don’t write off Anderson — he may be a factor in the QB derby.
One of the hardest workers, nicest guys. Deserving of these honors. CONGRATS!
Can’t wait to see him in the NFL.
FL ST 17
MIAMI 11
VA TECH 11
NC 10
DUKE 10
PITT 6
SYR 6
GT 5
VA 4
NC and Duke had 4 first teamers each vs 3 of our 6 were honorable mention.
This breakdown supports my premise, that while our coaching may have flaws, the relative strength of our individual players does not support much better results on the field.
Congrats to all our guys that made the cut.
A little surprised that Savage didn’t get enough votes for Honorable mention. Probably because Winston and Boyd were far superior. He did well enough to put two of our guys on the list. Too bad Street didn’t make it through the season.
If you recall, in the 3-4 two years ago, he was a great rush OLB as a freshman. Yet, he wasn’t used in lieu of Durham and Murphy on pass situaions …. even though House claimed they practiced a lot at 3-4 in the preseason.
He still finished high on the list of Solo tackles.
Had Pitt eked out a couple of more wins such as Navy and North Carolina, no question that one or two more Pitt players would have been on the list somewhere.
Congrats to the players for getting noticed. But no reason for Thomas or Clemmings to hang their heads.
Without his record setting pace for sacks early in the season, Savage would have likely been mentioned too.
Pitt fans know how deserving they are. Maybe that helps, maybe not.
How many third down conversions would Thomas have stopped? We will never know, but I think it would have been more than a few and maybe enough to change the outcome of a game or two. Maybe enough to have gotten Thomas on the ACC list.
How many QB runs on third down were successful. Who was our best open field tackler? DUH!
Especially after Price went down. How many times did the QB have all day to throw on third down?
Dravon Henry to announce on Monday. Speculators
say he is going to WVU. Hope not we need him!
Congrats to Aaron Donald! On to the National Awards….
hoping for the Outland and a big fat contract from the NFL.
this is why the playoff next year changes there is
no BCS we have 2 in this year next year we might have one.
plus next year ND can bump one of are teams for a bowl spot.
this means we will be down 2 spots next year so if you are 6 and 6 next year you might not get in
so 7 and 5 might be the only way in next year
we only get in this year becuse outher conference cant fill all there bowl spots that might not happen next year.
and he goes for a vist to Ga Tec soon.
and Kamara really likes wisconsin.
Henry is going to WVU.
Nicholsen is are best bet he has allways liked pitt
Bookser is 85 percent for pitt but i think he could have his head turned bye a slick sales men
he seams to be a on and off kind of fellow .
I would love for them to get Henry, but if they just get Nicholsen, one of the 2 WRs, and Bookser, I’m happy … beggars can’t be choosers
sorry you took it wrong.
i would not make you mad on purpose you are the man of reason. are we ok bud
I’d love to know the percentage of snaps for which Todd Thomas was on the field. I saw him running off the field after almost every first down. Sorry, that’s just wrong. Figure out how to use one of the most athletic kids on the team.
i am goin on a drunk so they better pull it out in the second half.
how much shit can a pitt fan take lose to penn state noooooooo. i cant stand it.
next to theres.
From Chris Dokish:
“Of the so-called WPIAL big 4 I’d be surprised if Pitt didn’t get at least 2 and would not be shocked if they got all 4.”
“Dravon Henry’s mom wants him to go to Pitt so it seems strange that he would announce for WVU on her birthday.”
“The only prediction of a top prospect that I remember missing was Foster & I was right until day he announced. But still no clue on Henry.”
From Adam Friedman at Rivals (@RivalsFriedman):
“The 5 most important (for Pitt): Yes on Nicholson & McKenzie. 60/40 for #Pitt on Henry & Bookser. No on Kamara.”
“That OhioState OV for Bookser is big. I think McKenzie is done with recruiting & knows he wants to stay home.”
