Clemson got three 1-yard touchdowns from Travis Zachery and quarterback Woodrow Dantzler ran for another of 22 yards and threw for scores of 17 and 19 yards in a game that was tied at halftime, 28-28. It was the third time that Clemson came close to beating a ranked team, falling just short against Florida State, Virginia Tech and now Georgia Tech.

Weinke threw four touchdown passes by halftime and did not play in the fourth quarter after completing 23 of 33 passes for 304 yards. Warrick caught nine passes for 134 yards and became the ACC's career leader with 3,427 receiving yards. Maryland (5-5, 2-5) was hurt by five turnovers and also had two punts blocked, offsetting LaMont Jordan's 169 rushing yards -- the most this year against Florida State.

It was the seventh consecutive win for North Carolina over State. Carolina's touchdown came on a 45-yard pass from fourth-string quarterback Domonique Williams to Kory Bailey on third-and-18 in the first quarter. Field goals moved it to 10-6 and N.C. State had the ball inside the 5 in the final two minutes. The Wolfpack drove 90 yards to the Carolina 1 with 1:43 left but QB Jamie Barnette's pitch to Carlos Doggett was bad and the running back lost 8 yards. After a offside penalty, State's Chris Coleman was stopped on a fourth-down pass play at the 1 by Errol Hood.

The wild game featured two 99-yard kickoff returns -- one by Montgomery on the opening play of the game and one by Wake Forest's John Stone, whose school-record score with 5:06 left in the third quarter moved the Demon Deacons to within 13 points with plenty of time left. Duke, though, won by intercepting four passes and recording five sacks.
