Nate Sheppard, Andrew Pellicciotta earn ACC weekly honors

For the fourth time this season, Nate Sheppard has earned ACC Running Back of the Week honors.

The Duke star running back rushed for 217 yards and three touchdowns on a mere 18 carries in the Blue Devils’ 41-3 victory over rival NC State on Saturday. On his first carry, Sheppard raced 69 yards for a touchdown to give Duke a 7-0 lead, setting the program record for rushing touchdowns in a season. He scored twice more, extending his rushing touchdown count to 17.

Sheppard alone outgained the entire Wolfpack offense with 221 all-purpose yards to NC State’s 217 total yards.

Safety Andrew Pellicciotta was named the ACC Specialist of the Week after returning a missed field-goal attempt 109 yards for a touchdown to end the first half. It was Duke’s first touchdown off a missed field-goal attempt since 2012.

Duke travels to No. 6 Miami this Saturday to face former quarterback Darian Mensah and the Hurricanes.
