Clemson QB Tajh Boyd led the ACC in total offense at 336.8 yards per game. (US Presswire) |
There were two units that were particularly dominant this season in ACC football -- the Clemson offense and the Florida State defense.
Both finished in the top-10 nationally in total yardage and scoring. It’s no surprise that the CBSSports.com ACC All-Conference team features six Tigers on offense and four Seminoles on defense.
