All ACC BC Guys

The All ACC team was announced. The following BC guys made it:

First team
Clif Ramsey
BJ Raji
Mark Herzlich

Second Team
Ryan Purvis
Anthony Castonzo
Ron Brace

Honorable Mention
Thomas Claiborne
Matt Tennant
Paul Anderson

Congrats to all those honored. Special congrats to the no longer overlooked Clif Ramsey. His play was so consistent and excellent all year and compares very favorably to the recent seasons Chris Snee and Josh Beekman had as BC guards. I was a bit surprised that Purvis made second team. I thought the decline in productivity would hurt, but it shows that his blocking and overall contribution was still noticed. Now let's hope this fires up the guys to win the ACC award that means the most.

Interestingly, four of the five o-linemen received honorable mention or above. Anyone optimistic about the future of the o-line?

Plus it looks like we have some solid guys coming in as well. Bodes well.

Football games are won in the trenches. No question the O-line play is a major reason BC has defied the pre-season pundits.

Looks like BC has the most (9) players on the 1st, 2nd or HM teams.

UMD had 9 as well.

I am really surprised McLaughlin got no love, especially after the FSU, Wake, and UMD games. Really came on strong and had a great year.

Herzy not being unanimous is also perplexing.

Off topic, but I saw today that some ESPN guys were talking about Matt Ryan as MVP, not just Rookie of the Year. Nice.
