Eli Holstein's ACC Rookie of the Week streak came to an end, but Pitt still got some recognition from the ACC, as Jimmy Scott was named Defensive Lineman of the Week and Ben Sauls was named Specialist of the Week.
If you're keeping track at home, that makes 15 ACC weekly honors for Pitt this season - the most of any school in the conference. Obviously, Eli Holstein winning Rookie of the Week five times helps boost those numbers. But even if you take those five out (and why would you?), the Panthers still have more than any other team in the ACC.
Pitt - 15
Syracuse/Miami - 8
Georgia Tech - 6
SMU/Clemson - 4
N.C. State/Virginia/FSU/Boston College/UNC/Virginia Tech/Stanford - 3
Cal - 2
Duke/Louisville - 1
Wake Forest - 0
