 ACC scoreboard

NC State 10, Connecticut 7: The Wolfpack secondary intercepted QB Chandler Whitmer three times and sacked him three times as NC State held on in a defensive struggle. CB David Amerson had one interception and broke up two passes on the final Connecticut drive, including a fourth-down play. QB Mike Glennon was 15 of 30 for 204 yards and a 46-yard TD pass to WR Bryan Underwood.

Maryland 36, Temple 27: Freshman WR Stefon Diggs had 135 all-purpose yards on nine touches, and Maryland survived four lost fumbles to hold on against Temple. Maryland jumped out to a 26-3 lead, as freshman QB Perry Hills threw for two touchdowns and ran for another. In moving to 2-0, Maryland was led by its defense, which held Temple to 1.3 yards per rush.

Kansas State 52, Miami 13: Kansas State rolled up 289 rushing yards and 499 total yards. The Wildcats also converted 8 of 11 third downs. Miami QB Stephen Morris was one of the few bright spots for the Hurricanes. He was 19 of 25 for 214 yards despite being sacked five times. Miami also lost three fumbles.

Virginia 17, Penn State 16: Penn State K Sam Ficken missed a 43-yard field goal as time expired, and the Cavaliers escaped with a win in Charlottesville. Ficken made just one of his five field goal attempts on the afternoon. Virginia QB Michael Rocco threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to TE Jake McGee, giving the Cavaliers the lead with 1:28 to play. McGee had four catches for 99 yards and a touchdown on the day.

Clemson 52, Ball State 27: Three of WR DeAndre Hopkins ' six catches were for touchdowns as Clemson moved to 2-0 with a win in its home opener. QB Tajh Boyd was 19 of 23 for 229 yards and three TDs before giving way to backup Cole Stoudt. RB Andre Ellington had two rushing TDs and carried 13 times for 41 yards.

Boston College 34, Maine 3: QB Chase Rettig’s 219 yards were less than half his total last week against Miami, but his three TD passes led Boston College to a victory over FCS foe Maine. RB Rolandan “Deuce” Finch saw his first action of the season and carried 17 times for 90 yards. WR Alex Amidon had 99 yards receiving and a TD catch.

Virginia Tech 42, Austin Peay 7: The Hokies got off to a slow start with their first three drives resulting in a lost fumble and two punts. Virginia Tech recovered, scoring touchdowns on six of its next nine possessions. QB Logan Thomas threw for 212 yards with two touchdowns and also ran for a score. Austin Peay managed just 221 total yards and threw for only 62. 

Wake Forest 28, North Carolina 27: WR Michael Campanaro had 13 catches -- the most by ever by a Wake WR against North Carolina -- for a career-high 164 yards receiving, accounting for more than half of QB Tanner Price's career-high 327 passing yards. North Carolina QB Bryn Renner took a hard hit trying to score on a run in the first half and struggled to move the offense afterward. 

Florida State 55, Savannah State 0: The Seminoles were favored by a college football-record 70.5 points and were well on their way to covering, when Mother Nature intervened. Florida State scored on the second play of the game and had touchdowns on the first seven possessions. After a second-quarter delay for lightning, officials decided to use a running clock for the second half. That plan was foiled when a second lightning delay ended the game early.

Georgia Tech 59, Presbyterian 3: A field goal with five seconds remaining kept Presbyterian from getting shut out by the Yellow Jackets. Georgia Tech put up 712 yards of offense, including 469 on the ground. RB Zach Laskey and backup QB Vad Lee each topped 100 rushing yards for Georgia Tech.

Stanford 50, Duke 13: The Cardinal scored the first 23 points of the game and hammered Duke. Stanford QB Josh Nunes threw three touchdowns and passed for 281 yards, and the defense provided three interceptions and a fumble recovery while holding Duke to 29 rushing yards. WR Jamison Crowder was Duke's lone bright spot with 111 yards on 10 catches.  

Play of the day: Virginia was facing a third-and-16 at its 22-yard line, trailing 16-10 to Penn State. Virginia QB Michael Rocco scrambled to his left and threw a jump ball to TE Jake McGee. McGee went up and beat two Penn State defensive backs to haul in a 44-yard completion, giving Virginia a first down at Penn State's 34-yard line. Penn State was even flagged for pass interference on the play. McGee later caught the go-ahead touchdown from Rocco with 1:28 left in the game.

He said what? Maryland QB Perry Hills on suffering a cut to his forehead: “I’m used to getting head-butted and stuff like that from wrestling and taking a lot of slams.” 

RapidReports defensive star of the day: CB David Amerson, NC State. After getting burned repeatedly against Tennessee in last week’s opener, Amerson got his first interception of the season, and 14th of his career, against Connecticut. That gave him one more catch for the game than the receivers he covered. Amerson finished the day with two pass break-ups on Connecticut’s final drive, including batting down a pass on fourth down to effectively end the game.

RapidReports offensive star of the day: WR DeAndre Hopkins, Clemson.  He had six catches for 104 yards, making him the fourth WR in school history to have three straight 100-yard receiving games. He also tied a school record with three TD catches. Not bad for just under a half of work, since Clemson cleared their bench in the second quarter.

His seat is getting uncomfortable: Assistant coach Dana Bible. NC State had a senior quarterback and dark-horse Heisman candidate in Mike Glennon and four senior offensive linemen. Glennon has struggled to find protection in both of State’s games this year, and a 10-point outing against Connecticut could start bring some hard questions for the Wolfpack’s offensive coordinator and QB coach.

A possible spot on the bench for: RB Mike James, Miami: The senior had nine carries for 27 yards, giving him 23 carries for 85 in two games this season. His 3.5 yards-per-rush is about one third of true freshman RB Duke Johnson’s average. Johnson has 156 yards and two TDs on 13 carries this year. Saturday, he added a 77-yard kickoff return. Finally a starter after backing up Lamar Miller, James better find his groove fast or he might be backing up Johnson.  

Why you care about these three stat lines:

  1. Clemson had 372 yards receiving and four TDs on 33 catches. With WR Sammy Watkins suspended for the first two games, Clemson’s air attack didn’t just survive, it thrived. DeAndre Hopkins emerged as a star, and Clemson had 57 catches for 580 yards and five scores in the two wins.
  2. Maryland’s first seven offensive turnovers of the season were by true freshmen. QB Perry Hills and RB Wes Brown will go through growing pains as they continue to play a major role in Maryland’s offense, along with fellow true freshman Stefon Diggs. The fact that they have manage to post a 2-0 record despite the youth movement is an encouraging sign.
  3. Miami averaged 1.4 yards per rush. Miami also lost three fumbles, and QB Stephen Morris was sacked five times. The only touchdown of the game came on a short field after a long kickoff return by Duke Johnson.

Key number: 61. The ACC-record distance of Clemson K Spencer Benton’s field goal just before halftime. Chandler Catanzaro is Clemson’s regular kicker, but Benton, who also handles punting and kickoffs, got the call as time expired in the first half. After missing a 55-yarder last week, Benton set an ACC record with the 61-yard kick.
