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.

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.

One thig for sure. He has the guy in Tallahassee beat.

Your response implies I’m not happy with ward. My comment was only that the top qb in the league this week gave the ball away 3 times. I found that odd but maybe everyone played like ****

what about all the outstanding throws/runs he made? They don't count??

Remember, one of them came after he threw a TD that was taken away by a bogus holding call.

Milroe just went 27/33 (82%) for 374yds against what many considered the best defense in the country until Saturday. Is his accuracy really "bad"?

It's not. People really just be talking. Dude was actually balling out and without him Bama doesn't win that game.

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.

I agree.

I would rather see Cam Ward look a little more like Joe Kapp out there and just eke out some gritty wins instead of putting up all these unnecessary big stats.

Rushing t/d's, and athletic shovel passes, with throws to X laying on the ground more than make up for the turnovers..............more so makes Cam human and not that perfect QB that is almost robotic.........
Cam's intensity to create the juice No Matter what the previous play looked like puts him in a QB path by himself.
Well-deserved again even with the wrinkles, mistakes, and errors......just adds to his mosaic.

How costly did they end up being since his positive plays also won the game?
