After Georgia Tech’s 33-7 defeat of North Carolina on Saturday, the ACC honored Yellow Jackets players a third and fourth time this season as its conference players of the week. Center Kenny Cooper and safety A.J. Gray earned the honors as offensive lineman and defensive back of the week, respectively.

Tech coaches credited Cooper with 10 defenders blocked to the ground as the Jackets cranked out their third 400-yard rushing game of the season. Gray helped swing the game in Tech’s favor with two interceptions in the third quarter, helping extinguish the Tar Heels’ hopes for a comeback.

They were the second and third interceptions of Gray’s career.

For both Cooper and Gray, they were the first ACC honors of their careers.

Tech quarterback TaQuon Marshall was honored as ACC offensive back of the week after his 249 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns in the double overtime loss to Tennessee. Left guard Parker Braun was named the ACC offensive lineman of the week following Tech’s 35-17 win over Pittsburgh for blocking 22 defenders to the ground.
 
Both well deserving. Griffin could have sniped it from him if he hadn't soaked his gloves in butter before kickoff.

Yeah, he would have been off to the races if he managed to grab that pass at the end of the first half. Nothing but green in front of him.

I have told them a million times that corn on the cob is not an acceptable pregame meal.
 
Cooper and Gray are having great years. Congratulations on the recognition. For me, watching each game, Gray is our best player on the field this season. He does his job well.
 
Congrats to both. Gray earned the hell out of this, he looked like a man on a mission Saturday. Hopefully he spends a couple of days during the off week hanging out with Griffin, Miami won't be able to pass the ball past the line of scrimmage.
