GREENSBORO, N.C. – Syracuse redshirt junior nose tackle Josh Black was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Defensive Lineman of the Week on Tuesday, Sept. 3 for his performance in the Orange's season opener Saturday at Liberty. Black carded four tackles, including a personal-best two sacks, and recovered a fumble in Syracuse's 24-0 shutout of the Flames.
Black anchored an Orange defensive line that helped Syracuse record eight sacks, four caused turnovers and 14 tackles for loss in the team's first true-road shutout since 1991. Black's first-quarter fumble recovery on the SU 4-yard line helped keep the Flames scoreless.
