ACC
17-10 FSU outgained them 425-315, with 248 rushing. Duke was trailing 3-7 before HT, tried halfback pass, but was INT’d at the F14. It was tied 10-10 at the end of the 3rd. Duke got within range to tie, but their final pass to the EZ was incomplete. Blackman 18-21-197-1-2, Jones 22-35-204-0-0. Akers 15-115, Patrick 18-98. They aren’t calling targeting on O players the same way they do on the D players. After an INT, RB Patrick came up to tackle the Duke player and based on what they call and uphold was a clear target, but after replay he was allowed to stay in the game.
35-17 NCSt trailed for the first time in an ACC game this year when Pitt got out 7-0. Pack took the lead on 93y TD run and 92y punt return both by RB Hines for 14-7 lead. 14-14 HT. The 2nd half was all State as they outgained Pitt by 100y and forced 2 TOs. DiNucci started and was 19-32-170-1-1 (1 lost fumble), a preplanned QB switch they put in Fr Pickett in the 3rd and that didn’t go so well, 5-13-61-0-0 (18 rush y). DiNucci finished up. Whitehead led Pitt in rushing again with just 18y. Finley 14-25-198-1-0.
45-42 BC gets the upset. LV had leads of 14-0 and 21-7, but BC would score the next 28 pts and ultimately turnovers did LV in when it mattered most. A 3rd qrt INT set BC up at the L22 for a 35-21 lead. LV would trail by 14 twice in the 4th, 42-28. After LV rallied to tie 42-42, they fumbled and after the return and some runs BC advanced to L10 with :03 left and nailed the winning FG. BC had missed an earlier FG. BC QBs combined for just 12-28-191-1-1, but ran for 364! Led by Dillion 39-272-4TD (3rd best yardage in BC history). Lamar Jackson 19-39-332-2-1, 22-180-3TD rushing. 625-555 TY edge for LV.
25-24 Miami comes from behind thanks to WR Langham heroics again. He caught the game winner last week and this week he caught a prayer of a pass, which thrown carelessly thrown into double coverage, tipped and caught on 4th-and-10 for 28y to keep the eventual game winning drive alive. GT led 14-3, but Miami made it 14-13 HT. Canes att onside kick to start the 3rd, but it was ret’d for GT TD! It was 24-13 Jackets before Miami scored the final 12 pts, their game winning FG was good with just a few seconds left. Canes got just 1 TD on 5 RZ trips. The game experienced heavy rain. Miami outgained GT 481-281.
20-14 Virginia jumped out 10-0 at HT. NC had just 4 FD and 75y at the break. In the 2nd half NC would take a 14-10 lead. An 81y TD pass got UVA back in front and an early 4th qrt 27y FG extended the lead. UVA got just 1 TD in 4 RZ trips. NC was at V37 with 1m left, but were sacked on 4th down (4th sack of the day). Chazz Surratt DNP and Harris went 7-18-46-0-3int! Fedora said that Surratt could've played, but gave Harris the time based on practice. I guess practice matters more than game performance. Fewest passing yards in 17 years for NC. UVA 40-20 min TOP and 405-257 TY edge.

Goodbye to Romance College Football
37-3 Cal picked off Luke Falk 5x and got 7 TO total, but those turnovers only led to two Cal FGs and a late 4th qrt fum ret TD. 4 WSt TOs occurred in Cal territory, two in the RZ keeping pts off the board. WSt had an opening KO ret TD called back by penalty and in the 2nd qrt had a TD pass called back by penalty and after a sack had to settle for a 52y FG. Cal D recorded 9 sacks. Cal 18-16 FD and 365-337 TY.
36-33 Colorado was outgained 569-385 as Ore St settled for too many FGs to end their drives. Ore St had FGs of 32, 37, 20, 31 in the first half and only led 19-14 HT. Their potential game winner of 52y was barely short (Nall tackled for 3y loss 2 plays earlier may’ve been the difference). Ore St also threw an 1st down INT from the C32 to the C11 which was ret’d 43y leading to a CU TD. Montez 14-24-168-2-0 (23 rushing). Lindsay 28-185-2TD (long of 74).

SC took their first lead late in the 4th and after not having any O in the 2nd H Utah would go 11p 75y scoring a TD with :42 left. Whittingham opted to go for 2 and Williams rolled out under pressure and didn't see a wide open Carrington in the back of the EZ. Utah did throw an INT at SC12, but USC fumbled it right back and Utah scored on D to lead 7-0. Utah missed a 1st H FG. SC fum at Ut21 and SOD at Ut33. 30-20 FD, 532-436 TY for Trojans.
