ACC
Player
of the Year
OT Steve Vallos, Sr. Wake Forest
Wake Forest lost its starting
quarterback and had injury problems with
the running backs, but the offense and
the running game were effective thanks
to the play of the offensive line. Yes,
the Demon Deacons won the ACC title
mostly due to fantastic defense and a
tight kicking game, but Steve Vallos and
the Demon Deacon front five turned out
to be the rocks that helped make
mediocre skill players produce. Georgia
Tech WR Calvin Johnson might have been
the best player to play in the ACC this
season, but Vallos turned out to be the
steadiest and most valuable.
Defensive
Player of the Year -
DE Gaines Adams, Sr. Clemson
Adams came into the season as the marked
man by every offensive coordinator, and
he still came through leading the ACC in
sacks and finished third in tackles for
loss. Double or triple teamed, Adams
produced all season long. Beyond the
mere stats, he made several big plays in
key moments highlighted by the blocked
field goal attempt for a touchdown to
turn the tide in the win over Wake
Forest.
