Xavier Carlton (Defensive Lineman of the Week), Ryan Coe (Specialist of the Week) and Fernando Mendoza (Quarterback of the Week) all earned Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Week honors for their performances in California's victory at Wake Forest, the conference announced on Monday.  



Carlton continued his strong season on the edge for the Golden Bears, recording two of the team's seven sacks in the 46-36 win over the Demon Deacons. The senior from Modesto also added five tackles and two quarterback hurries. Carlton has a team-high nine sacks on the season (third in the conference).



Coe booted two 54-yard field goals during Cal's victory in Winston-Salem, including sending the first one through the uprights as time expired in the first half to set a new career-best. The redshirt-senior and McDonald, Pennsylvania native drilled his second from 54 yards out with 6:39 left in the 4th quarter to make it a two-possession game.

Mendoza had another big day for the Bears to earn his second ACC Quarterback of the Week honor this season. The redshirt sophomore from Miami, Florida set a new career high for the second consecutive game, throwing for 385 yards to go along with three touchdowns (two pass, one rush).



Mendoza also rushed for a career-best 51 yards while completing 40-of-56 passes to total 436 yards in the game.

The three weekly honors give Cal a total of seven in its first season as a member of the ACC. Mendoza (Quarterback of the Week) and Derek Morris (Specialist of the Week) received the nods on Oct. 28 after Cal's victory over Oregon State.

Teddye Buchanan (Linebacker of the Week) and Nohl Williams (Defensive Back of the Week) were recognized on Sept. 9 after the Bears' road win at Auburn.

Take a second to give Fernando a vote for the Manning award. Would be really cool to have him win a second QB of the week!
