Dalvin Cook's Record Setting Night: FSU vs. Michigan In Orange Bowl

Dalvin Cook set the single season FSU rushing record and became the second leading rusher in ACC history in Florida State's 33-32 win over Michigan in the Orange Bowl. Cook finishes the season with 1,836 rushing yards in 2016, and 4,464 yards in his career.

The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) is a collegiate athletic conference in the United States in which its fifteen member universities compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA's) Division I, with its football teams competing in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), the highest levels for athletic competition in US-based collegiate sports. The ACC sponsors competition in twenty-five sports with many of its member institutions' athletic programs held in high regard nationally. ACC teams and athletes have claimed dozens of national championships in multiple sports throughout the conference's history. Generally, the ACC's top athletes and teams in any particular sport in a given year are considered to be among the top collegiate competitors in the nation. The ACC is considered to be one of the six collegiate power conferences, all of which enjoy extensive media coverage and automatic qualifying for their football champion into the Bowl Championship Series (BCS). With the advent of the College Football Playoff in 2014, the ACC will be one of five conferences with a contractual tie-in to an "access bowl", the successors to the BCS.

Founded in 1953 in Greensboro, North Carolina, by seven universities located in the South Atlantic States, the conference added additional members in late 1953, 1979, 1991, 2004, and 2013. The 2004 and 2013 additions extended the conference's footprint into the Northeast and Midwest. The most recent expansion in 2013 saw the additions of the University of Notre Dame, the University of Pittsburgh, and Syracuse University. In 2012, the University of Maryland's Board of Regents voted to withdraw from the ACC to join the Big Ten Conference. On November 28, 2012, the ACC's Council of Presidents voted unanimously to invite the University of Louisville as a full member, replacing Maryland.

thanks for everything D. Cook best of luck in the NFL we're gonna miss you play and your leadership

I hate the Noles (Hurricane fan) but am a huge fan of Cook. I have to respect his game, he's one of the best RB's I've seen in my lifetime. The way he explodes and rips long runs is something I've never seen. Going to root for him in the NFL.

best back that florida has produced in a decade

[chadkinsler]

He was hands down the best rb in the nation, he faced more top teams then any other rb. I'm a huge Warrick Dunn fan but Cook is the greatest rb to come out of Fsu

[viralencore]

Should be the first back off the board in the first round.

Best RB in ACC history, hands down. Fear The Spear!

The hit that Dalvin Cook took at 0:43 appeared to be helmet-to-helmet. That one needs to be called. I certainly don't want Cook (or the defender that hit him) to be afflicted with CTE later in life.
