The Atlantic Coast Conference named their Players of the Week for Week 13, and one Virginia Tech player was voted to the list after the team’s 52-10 victory over in-state rival Virginia.
Redshirt junior linebacker Andrew Motuapuaka was named as the ACC Linebacker of the Week following his strong performance against the Cavaliers.
In what was perhaps Motuapuaka’s best game of the season, he registered two takeaways that included an interception, as well as a fumble recovery that he returned 70 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter of the Senior Day rout.
The Hokies forced three turnovers in total on the day, quickly dispatching of the Cavaliers by outscoring the Virginia offense 52-3 over the course of the first three quarters before the benches were emptied and the backups got some playing time.
