Cam Ward named ACC QB of the Week

Today at 2:30 PM 1 min read

For the third time this year, Miami Hurricanes senior Cam Ward was selected as the ACC Quarterback of the Week, the league office announced Monday afternoon.

Ward continued his historic start to his Miami career, guiding the Hurricanes to a 38-34 comeback win over Virginia Tech in their ACC opener.

The 6-foot-2, 223-pound signal caller threw for 342 yards and four touchdowns, while adding 57 yards and a score on the ground Friday evening.

Ward led Miami to touchdowns on its final three drives of the game, as the Hurricanes overcame a pair of 10-point deficits in the victory.

The West Columbia, Texas, native is the first ACC quarterback with at least 300 passing yards and three passing touchdowns in each of their first five games of the season, since Miami joined the league ahead of the 2004 campaign.

Ward was previously tabbed ACC Quarterback of the Week on Sept. 3 and Sept. 23.

The eighth-ranked Hurricanes travel to face new ACC member Cal on Oct. 5, which marks the first meeting between the two sides since 1990. Kickoff is slated for 10:30 p.m. ET ESPN.

Ah, the accolades…not that I’m expecting a NC or anything this year, but a gritty, successful season is all I want to see. It’s not a sin to expect that much after a succession of good recruiting classes and out-of-the-ballpark portal transfers. Now play.

Its great for the program and Ward, but lets not forget he had 3 costly turnovers. Not sure I agree with ACC qb of the week due to the TOs.

That’s not how that’s accomplished. TO’s are apart of the equation but not more impactful than the stats and impactful plays that won the game. Also which QB in the ACC who played better?

Great recognition for Ward. Ward is still on pace to win ACC offensive player of the year, since he was the preseason pick for ACC offensive POY. However, Milroe passed Ward as the Heisman favorite with his performance against Georgia; but without Ward’s turnovers against VT, I think Ward would still be the Heisman favorite.

Hold on.

We took Cam Ward knowing this was part of the package. This isn't new here and it won't be the last time we see it. The difference is, here, different than Wazzu and the Word, he's got a much better team around him that can help him overcome those plays.

You don't get the brilliance without things getting a little wild at times.

If he limits the turnovers and keeps ballin… no telling how many awards he walks away with.

Milroe is a RB playing QB. His accuracy is bad. He’s lucky Ryan Williams made 3 acrobatic catches bc they were bad throws.

Milroe is gonna rack up yards especially on the ground, but we’ll see how it all plays out.
