Hughes, Winborne named ACC Players of the Week

Virginia's Connor Hughes and Jamiane Winborne were both named ACC Football Players of the Week after Virginia defeated Wake Forest this past Saturday. Hughes, named ACC Specialist of the Week, won the game on a 38-yard field goal. The sophomore tied the score earlier in the fourth quarter with a 53-yard field goal, the second longest kick in Cavalier history. Hughes continued his perfect record, converting 4-for-4 on field goals and 1-for-1 on extra points.

Senior cornerback Jamaine Winborne was named ACC Defensive Player of the Week, as a result of his contributions to the Cavalier win. He intercepted the ball with less than a minute left in play, and ran it back 20 yards to set up the game winning field goal by Hughes. He also had a career-high nine tackles.
