Sophomore tackle D'Brickashaw Ferguson earned ACC Offensive Lineman of the Week honors for his performance in Saturday's game against UNC. The sophomore led an offensive line that sprung the Cavalier backs for 229 yards rushing, making it the third time the Cavaliers have rushed for over 200 yards this season. The line also allowed Virginia to gain 515 yards of total offense, the most ever under Al Groh.
Ferguson and his offensive line did not allow a sack of Matt Schaub, helping Virginia quarterbacks to complete 20-of-23 passes for 286 yards. This is Ferguson's second weekly honor this season. The first one came after the win at Western Michigan.
Sophomore linebacker Darryl Blackstock received the Defensive Back of the Week honor for his performance in the game as he recorded the second multi-sack game of his career. He had six tackles, including four solos, two sacks for a combined loss of 16 yards and a fumble recovery in the Cavaliers' 38-13 win at UNC.
Blackstock led a Virginia defense that held a high-powered Tar Heel offense to only 13 points and 265 yards -- 150 yards and 14 points less than their season averages. This is Blackstock's second career ACC Weekly Honor. His first came last season after his performance against Clemson.
