ACC FOOTBALL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK
OFFENSIVE LINE
NC State's Sean Locklear (Lumberton, N.C.) helped pave the way for 474 yards of total offense and five offensive touchdowns in the Wolfpack's 49-21 victory over Texas Tech. The 6-5, 296-pound outside guard cleared a path for tailback T.A. McLendon to gain 124 yards rushing and provided space for QB Philip Rivers to complete 18 of 22 passes for 257 yards. The senior saw action in 64 plays and received the highest grade on the line.
DEFENSIVE BACK
NC State CB Greg Golden (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) had a 71-yard interception return for a touchdown in the Pack's 49-21 victory over Texas Tech. The 5-11, 185-pound junior also recorded two solo tackles in 61 snaps and played a key role in the Wolfpack's defense that kept Texas Tech from converting 10-of-15 third down conversions and 5-of-7 fourth down conversions. Golden was also a part of the defensive effort that snuffed the Red Raiders on three-of-four red zone opportunities.
