Florida State's fifth straight win brought another week of conference honors from the ACC.

FSU running back Trey Benson and center Maurice Smith each were announced as ACC Players of the Week in the final week of the award this season on Monday.

Benson earned his fourth ACC Running Back of the Week honor of the season after rushing for 111 yards and a career-high three touchdowns in the 45-38 win over Florida. Benson is now tied with Pitt running back Israel Abanikanda for the most ACC RB of the Week honors this season. He finished the regular season 35 yards short of being FSU's first 1,000-yard rusher since Cam Akers in 2019.

Smith was named the ACC Offensive Lineman of the Week after the Seminoles ran for 227 yards against UF, tying the program record with the team's seventh straight game rushing for 200-plus yards. It's Smith's second OL of the Week honor and FSU's fourth of the season, tied for the most in the conference.
