Boston College junior defensive end Harold Landry earned his second ACC Defensive Lineman of the Week award with a dominant performance against Wake Forest.

Landry recorded seven tackles, 4.5 tackles-for-loss, and tied a career-best with 3.0 sacks as BC held the host Demon Deacons to 287 yards of total offense.

His 15 sacks on the season also put Landry in the BC history books, making him the all-time single-season leader in sacks.  The North Carolina native is tied for the national lead in sacks and leads the country with seven forced fumbles.

The win over Wake Forest secured bowl-eligibility for the Eagles, who will find out their bowl destination Sunday, December 4th.
