Virginia Tech 37, Bowling Green 0: The Hokies got off to a slow start, but QB Logan Thomas threw two touchdowns and ran for another in the second quarter to give Virginia Tech (3-1) control of the game. Thomas was just 11 for 26 with 144 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. He also ran 15 times for 65 yards and a score. After allowing 537 yards at Pittsburgh, the Virginia Tech defense held Bowling Gree to 266.

Wake Forest 49, Army 37: The Demon Deacons and Black Knights combined for more than 1,000 yards as the defenses had a long day in Winston Salem. Wake Forest (3-1) scored touchdowns on six of its first seven possessions, and Army got touchdowns on its first three drives.

Miami 42, Georgia Tech 36 OT: The Miami (3-1) defense stopped Georgia Tech (2-2) on fourth-and-1 in overtime, and RB Mike James had a 25-yard touchdown run on the ensuing possession to give the Hurricanes their fourth consecutive win over the Yellow Jackets. It was a game of runs as Miami scored the first 19 points in the first quarter. Georgia Tech then reeled off 36 straight in the second and third quarters before Miami scored the final 23 points of the game. Miami QB Stephen Morris threw for a career-high 436 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. James had 89 yards and three touchdowns. Yellow Jackets QB Tevin Washington had three rushing touchdowns.

North Carolina 27, East Carolina 6: For the second straight week, North Carolina (2-2) shook off a sluggish first half with a second-half rally. The Tar Heels avoided falling behind, but pulled away from a 10-6 halftime lead with 17 unanswered points after halftime. Bryn Renner followed his 363-yard game against Louisville with 321, setting a school record for most yards in consecutive games. 

NC State 52 , The Citadel 14: The Wolfpack (3-1) led 42-7 at halftime and cruised past The Citadel in their final nonconference game of the season. RB Shadrach Thornton was pressed into duty because of injury and had 145 yards with two touchdowns on 21 carries. QB Mike Glennon was 19 of 25 for 232 yards and a touchdown. NC State outgained The Citadel 514-226.

Duke 38, Memphis 14: The Blue Devils (3-1) won three of their first four games for just the second time since 1994. Duke trailed winless Memphis late in the first half but scored 21 unanswered points in the second half. Sean Renfree threw for 314 yards and Conner Vernon had 120 yards receiving.

Play of the day: Georgia Tech was facing its biggest deficit of the season -- 10-0 in the first quarter against Miami. On the kickoff following a Miami field goal, Orwin Smith took the ball in the end zone, and went to take a knee. On his way down, he put his free hand down for support on the 1-yard line. That’s a safety, Tech’s first since suffering one against Miami in 2009, and it had coach Paul Johnson looking like disappointed gymnast McKayla Maroney.  

He said what? Virginia Tech QB Thomas on getting his fingernail peeled back on a second-quarter touchdown run: “It was one of the worst pains I’ve ever felt. … It was just squirting. All you could see was the meat underneath my fingernail and blood covering it”

RapidReports defensive star of the day: LB Jack Tyler, Virginia Tech. Tyler led the Hokies' defense with seven tackles and a pass breakup, as Virginia Tech had its first nonconference shutout since 2006.

RapidReports offensive star of the day: QB Morris, Miami. In an overtime win over Georgia Tech that set off a wild celebration, Morris threw for 436 yards and two touchdowns. It was the first 400-yard game since 2002 and the fifth-highest yardage total in Miami history. Morris took honors over Florida State's Manuel and Wake Forest WR Michael Campanaro, who had 12 catches for 153 yards and two touchdowns. 

His seat is getting uncomfortable: Mike London, Virginia. The reigning ACC coach of the year has a long way to go to defend his title. The Cavaliers' biggest win of the year was 17-16 over a reeling Penn State that missed four field goals. Virginia wasn’t competitive either of the past two weeks, losing 56-20 to Georgia Tech and 27-7 at TCU.

A possible spot on the bench for: QB Michael Rocco, Virginia: The junior was 13 of 28 for 126 yards and two interceptions. Two drops by WR Darius Jennings didn’t help, but Rocco was rarely a threat downfield, and the offense was shut out for the three-plus quarters Rocco was in the game.   

Why you care about these three stat lines:

  1. Army had 506 yards of offense, including 429 on the ground. Playing against a team that completed just three passes, Wake Forest was unable to stop Army’s rushing attack. It was the second week in a row that the Deacons' defense couldn't stop an opponent. Florida State had 612 yards, including 385 rushing, last week.
  2. Maryland gave up 14 points on turnovers. QB Hills’ fumble was returned 51 yards by Doug Rigg, and WR Marcus Leak fumbled at the end of a 25-yard catch, leading to a Smith touchdown pass. Hills also threw an interception that ended Maryland’s last drive of the game.
  3. Logan Thomas was 7 of 10 for 102 yards and 2 TDs in the second quarter, 4 of 16 for 42 the rest of the game. Thomas also rushed six times for 31 yards and a touchdown in the second quarter, and nine times for 34 in the other three quarters.

Key number: 249. West Virginia was averaging 612 yards of offense, eighth-best nationally. Maryland held the Mountaineers 249 yards below that and allowed just a yard per rush.
