Defensive duo key part of the ACC's top-ranked defense
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. – Junior defensive end Harold Landry and senior linebacker Matt Milano earned All-ACC honors, as voted on by the league's head coaches. Landry garnered second team All-ACC accolades while Milano was an All-ACC honorable mention selection.
Both players were key cogs on a Boston College team that finished 6-6 overall and earned its third bowl trip in four seasons under head coach Steve Addazio.
Boston College ranked as one of the nation's top defenses the entire season. Currently, the Eagles rank seventh in the nation and first in the ACC in total defense allowing just 310.6 yards per game. BC has allowed just 106.9 rushing yards per game, seventh-best nationally and second in the conference.
BC is also among the top-20 defenses nationally in third-down conversion percentage defense (12th, 31.9%), fourth-down conversion percentage defense (16th, 36.4%), first-down defense (Seventh, 184), fumbles recovered (11th, 12), sacks (Ninth, 3.25 per game) and tackles-for-loss (13th, 7.7 per game).
Landry has put together one of the best seasons in the nation in 2016. The North Carolina native is tied for the national lead with 15 sacks and leads the country with seven fumbles forced. Landry rewrote the Boston College single-season record for sacks in 2016, breaking the old mark of 13 held by Eric Storz (1997) and Mike Mamula (1994). Landry is tied for fourth in the country with 20.5 tackles-for-loss, the second-best total in Boston College single-season history behind only Mathias Kiwanuka's 25.5 TFLs in 2004.
Milano earned All-ACC honorable mention honors for the second consecutive season after starting all 12 games as a senior in 2016. The Florida native is fourth on the team with 55 tackles and is tied for the team-lead with 40 solo stops. Milano is fourth on the team with 9.5 tackles-for-loss and totaled five sacks on the season. Milano returned his first career interception for a touchdown in the 30-0 win over Connecticut on Nov. 19.
Both players look to help guide Boston College to a bowl victory on Dec. 26 against Maryland in the Quick Lane Bowl in Detroit. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. with live coverage on ESPN, Watch ESPN and the BC IMG Sports Network (850 AM WEEI locally).
