When Clemson linebacker Ben Boulware decided that Syracuses Dontae Strickland had gone far enough, his WWE-style takedown raised some eyebrows and lit up social media.Boulware just shrugged when questioned about the bone-jarring tackle during Saturdays game, which the Tigers won 54-0.Its football. Im trying to get him down, the senior said. The way I tackled him, people are going to freak out, but hes trying to get extra yards. Im trying to not let him get extra yards.Its one of many stout defensive plays that go largely unnoticed nationally in the high-powered Atlantic Coast Conference.Its understandable. The ACC has more than its fair share of topflight offensive players -- Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson, Clemsons Deshaun Watson, and Florida State tailback Dalvin Cook top that list. But the fiery Boulware is one of many NFL-caliber standouts on the other side of the ball in the league.Each ACC team has at least three great players on their defense, said former Clemson star Shaq Lawson, a first-round pick of the Buffalo Bills in the 2016 NFL draft. They always have like a first-round pick. Last year, we had two first-round ACC defensive players (Lawson and Louisvilles Sheldon Rankins). It was just crazy.Boulware, along with DT Dexter Lawrence and DL Christian Wilkins have combined for 171 tackles, 22.5 tackles for a loss, and 9.5 sacks. That relentless sort of play has helped Clemson coach Dabo Swinney put a stamp on his own brand of football.Weve had some great players like Shaq, like Boulware, that are just blue-collar guys that buy in, provide great leadership, and, you know, are sold out to be the best they can be, Swinney said. I think thats critical when you have guys of that type of caliber, that type of talent, that lead and provide the type of leadership that you need for the rest of your team because thats how you establish your culture.Coach Steve Addazio has struggled to win games in the conference since taking over at Boston College three years ago. The Eagles were winless last year and are 1-5 this season. After spending five years as an assistant at Florida, Addazio appreciates more than most what hes seeing on a weekly basis.I think that the level of play is the highest its ever been. Thats without a doubt, Addazio said. And what youre seeing is some elite players playing at a high, high level.A look at some of the defensive stalwarts of the ACC:- DeMarcus Walker, Florida State: The 6-4, 280-pound DE leads the nation with 10.5 sacks to match his total from last year and has three forced fumbles. Hes the first Seminole since Peter Boulware (1995-96) to record double-digit sack seasons in consecutive years and the third to have two double-digit sack seasons (Reinard Wilson did it in 1994 and `96).People thought last year was a fluke and it just happened like a lottery thing. It was hard work, said Walker, projected to be drafted next year on the second or third round. They didnt see the vision or goal I had, so I had to do it again for the message to get through. Im hungry, I still have more to prove.- Ejuan Price, Pittsburgh: The 5-11, 250-pound sixth-year senior LB has nine sacks, three forced fumbles, and 14 solo TFLs for a national-best 91 yards lost. Hes projected as a fourth- or fifth-round pick in the 2017 NFL draft.- Duke Ejiofor, Wake Forest: The 6-4, 270-pound junior DL has eight sacks and at least a half sack in every game this season. Against Duke in Week 2, he registered seven tackles, including four TFLs and three sacks, and forced two fumbles. His health is a big reason for his improved play. He missed the first five games of 2015 with a concussion suffered during preseason camp.- Tarvarus McFadden, Florida State: The 6-2, 198-pound sophomore leads the nation with seven interceptions, just ahead of Louisvilles Jaire Alexander and Jessie Bates of Wake Forest, who have five.- Cordrea Tankersley, Clemson: The 6-1, 200-pound cornerback has 40 tackles, five TFLs and eight pass breakups this season. The senior could become the first Tiger cornerback in the past decade to be picked before the third round of the NFL draft.- Marquez White, Florida State: The 6-foot, 184-pound senior made a name for himself last year after being targeted on only 7 percent of the throws by opposing quarterbacks. Hes projected as second- or third-round pick in the 2017 NFL draft.- Brandon Facyson, Virginia Tech: The 6-1, 191-pound CB has 31 tackles, 2.5 TFLs, eight pass breakups, and two forced fumbles this season. Hes projected to be picked on the third or fourth rounds of the 2017 NFL draft.- Carlos Watkins, Clemson: The 6-3, 305-pound redshirt senior DT controls the middle of the field and is a plug on the run. His stand-your-ground play allows a quicker tackle like freshman Dexter Lawrence to get into the backfield. Watkins is projected to be picked on the second or third rounds of the 2017 NFL draft.- Harold Landry, Boston College: The 6-3, 250-pound junior defensive lineman has nine sacks and has forced five fumbles to tie for tops in the nation with James Hearns of Louisville and Jimmie Gilbert of Colorado.- LB Micah Kiser and CB Quin Blanding, Virginia: Kiser ranks third in the nation in tackles with 102 and Blanding is 12th with 90. Barring injury, the juniors are on pace to finish 1-2 in tackles in the ACC for the second straight year.---AP Sports Writers Pete Iacobelli in South Carolina, John Wawrow in New York, Joe Reedy in Florida, Hank Kurz in Virginia, Joedy McCreary in North Carolina,---More AP college football: http://collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 .---Follow Kekis on Twitter: www.twitter.com/Greek1947 Wholesale Jordan 3 Sale . -- Stanfords Kevin Danser knelt on one knee and hardly moved on the sideline as Michigan State celebrated its Rose Bowl victory and his Cardinal teammates made their way to the locker room.

Wholesale Air Jordan 3 . LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse. Defending 157, Canterbury bowled Central Districts out for 86 on the back of legspinner Todd Astles 5 for 36 to register a 71-run win. At one point, Astle and offspinner Tim Johnston were both on a hat-trick in consecutive overs as Central Districts stumbled from 41 for 2 to 42 for 6. Johnston returned figures of 3 for 33 as Central Districts were skittled for their lowest score against Canterbury.Canterburys stunning comeback began with a 71-run opening stand between Peter Fulton (40) and Michael Davison in the second innings after the side had surrendered a 197-run first-innings lead. Henry Nicholls struck a 205-ball 98 and surpassed 2000 first-class runs for Canterbury, while wicketkeeper Cam Fletcher chipped in with a patient 58. Left-arm spinner Ajaz Patel finished with 5 for 118 to finish with match figures of 10 for 159.Canterbury were bowled out for 202 in the first innings, with Astle the top-scorer with 53. Central Districts responded strongly and posted 399 after wicketkeeper Dane Cleavers second first-class century, a 180-ball 104 that included 11 fours and three sixes. Greg Hay (89), Will Young (52) and Ben Wheeler (58) contributed with half-centuries. Defending champions Auckland chased down 373 for a tense two-wicket win over Otago, set up by Colin de Grandhommes unbeaten 144 off 147 deliveries.Auckland began the fourth day at 101 for 2 and lost opener Michael Guptill-Bunce for 70 early on. That brought de Grandhomme to the crease and he went on to add 143 for the fourth wicket with captain Rob Nicol, who was on 7 overnight. Nicol was dismissed for 65 by Christi Viljoen and the Otago seamer paired with Neil Wagner to open up Aucklands lower order. De Grandhomme, however, thwarted their efforts by hitting 18 fours and five sixes in his innings. Viljoen finished with 5 for 101 while Wagner took three wickets on the finaal day to take his match tally to 8 for 113, having taken a five-for to demolish Auckland for 145 in their first innings.ddddddddddddApart from de Grandhommes century, another important performance for Auckland was Tarun Nethulas 10 for 124, his second ten-wicket haul in first-class cricket. Nethulas 6 for 36 bowled Otago out for 164 after they were put in to bat, with the only significant contribution coming from Brad Wilson, who scored 56.Nethula then took 4 for 88 in the second innings as Otago stretched their 19-run first-innings lead to 372, riding on Neil Brooms 161. Broom was well-supported by Josh Finnie (60) who was part of a 112-run stand for the third wicket. Batting at no. 3, Broom ensured Otagos lead climbed past 300 before falling to Dane Hutchinson. Brooms 18th first-class century came off 226 balls and included 20 fours and three sixes.Rain scuppered the first day and part of the second to ensure Wellington didnt have enough time to push for an outright win against Northern Districts at the Basin Reserve. After just 6.1 overs on the first day, Wellingtons seamers exploited useful conditions to reduce Northern Districts to 125 for 6 a little after tea on the second day. Allrounder Scott Kuggeleijn then smashed his third first-class century, a 130-ball 112, to lift Northern Districts to 285. Fast bowler Hamish Bennett returned 4 for 54.Luke Woodcock continued his fine form by striking a patient 120, his eighth first-class ton. Wellington declared their innings at 376 for 8 on the final day, after fifties from Michael Pollard and Tom Blundell. Kuggeleijn picked up his 150th first-class wicket during his 3 for 99. Northern Districts crawled to 156 for 6 in 78 overs before the match was drawn. ' ' '
