Justin Thomas named ACC offensive back of the week

Georgia Tech quarterback Justin Thomas was named the ACC’s offensive back of the week Monday after his standout performance in the Yellow Jackets’ 38-35 win over Duke on Saturday. It’s the second time in his career that he has earned the honor.

Thomas’ effort against the Blue Devils was one of the best by a quarterback in school history, with 10-for-14 passing for 264 yards and two touchdowns and 17 rushes for 195 yards and two touchdowns. His 459 yards of total offense was third highest by a Tech player and his 276.97 passing efficiency rating was also third highest for a Yellow Jackets quarterback. Thomas’ 195 rushing yards also broke Tevin Washington’s school record for most rushing yards in a game by a quarterback.
