Three Duke football players named to Week 4 ACC Team of the Week by Pro Football Focus

Three Duke football players made the Pro Football Focus ACC Team of the Week after the Blue Devils’ blowout win over 45-17.

After the Duke Blue Devils dominated Middle Tennessee for a 45-17 victory last weekend, three different players made the Pro Football Focus Team of the Week for the ACC.

Tight end Nicky Dalmolin, who caught a 71-yard touchdown on the opening possession en route to a 100-yard, two-score game, ended up on the offensive team. The fifth-year senior had previously never with more than 40 yards in a single day, but he caught all four of his passes in the first half against the Blue Raiders.

Linebacker Alex Howard and safety Terry Moore made the defensive team. Howard led the Blue Devils with eight tackles, 3.5 of which went for a loss. Among ACC defenders, the Youngstown State transfer is tied for fourth in total tackles (36), tied for seventh in sacks (3.0), and first in TFLs (8.5).

Moore, who also made the Pro Football Focus team in Week 2 for his game against Northwestern, made six tackles against MTSU. He’s come down with two of the Blue Devils’ three interceptions this season.
