TALLAHASSEE -- Florida State redshirt junior quarterback Deondre Francois and junior defensive end Brian Burns both earned ACC Player of the Week honors at their respective positions for their play in the 38-17 victory for the Seminoles over Wake Forest on Saturday afternoon at Doak S. Campbell Stadium.

It is the first honor of the season for both players and the first time this season a member of FSU's offense has earned an honor from the league.

The selections are determined by a vote of a 15-member media panel.

Francois completed 29 of 40 passes for 353 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions in FSU’s 38-17 win over Wake Forest. It marked his second game of 2018 and the school-record third of his career in which he attempted 40 passes with zero interceptions. Francois also avoided being sacked for the second time this season. He now has eight 300-yard passing games in his career and has accounted for 15 of FSU’s 20 offensive touchdowns on the season.

Burns continued his dominant season in Saturday’s 38-17 win over Wake Forest. He recorded four tackles with two sacks and two tackles for loss. Burns now ranks second nationally in sacks per game. His fourth-down sack in the first quarter was a turning point, spurring the Seminoles’ comeback from an early 10-0 deficit. Burns now ranks seventh on FSU’s all-time sacks list with 23 and 10th with 35.5 tackles for loss. All nine of his sacks this season have come in ACC games.
