Telemaque, Washington earn ACC weekly honors

Brandon Washington had seven pancake blocks at Duke on Saturday.

University of Miami sophomores Vaughn Telemaque and Brandon Washington have earned Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Week honors. Washington earned offensive lineman honors while Telemaque garnered defensive back honors after their performances in Miami’s 28-13 win at Duke on Saturday.

Telemaque had two interceptions to lead a Miami defense that forced five interceptions and two fumbles in the win over the Blue Devils. Telemaque also had six tackles for the UM defense, which is tied for second nationally in turnovers gained among Bowl Championship Series schools. It is the ninth time this season that an ACC player has claimed multiple interceptions in a single game.

On the year, Telemaque has 29 tackles, three interceptions, and a fumble recovery. Washington anchored a Miami offense that recorded a season-best 448 yards and did not allow a sack in a 28-13 win at Duke. As the Hurricanes’ starting right guard, Washington graded out at 97 percent while recording seven pancake blocks against the Blue Devils.
