Mauigoa Named ACC Offensive Lineman of the Week

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Miami junior right tackle Francis Mauigoa has been named the ACC Offensive Lineman of the Week, the league announced Monday afternoon.

Mauigoa anchored a Hurricanes front that powered the Hurricanes to a 38-10 conference win over Syracuse on Saturday at Hard Rock Stadium. The 6-foot-6, 335-pound lineman also had one of the game’s signature moments, taking a designed backward pass behind the line of scrimmage and finishing a 3-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter.

Behind consistent protection and control at the line of scrimmage, Miami quarterback Carson Beck went 18-of-24 for 247 yards with a touchdown reception and a touchdown pass.

Miami’s offense totaled 385 yards on 6.8 yards per play, converting 4-for-4 red-zone opportunities and controlling the line of scrimmage throughout the night, with Mauigoa as the leader.

Miami closes its regular-season home slate Saturday, Nov. 15, against NC State at Hard Rock Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. on ESPN and 104.3 FM WQAM.
