ACC ROUNDUP
No. 3 Clemson 27, Syracuse 23: With new starting quarterback Trevor Lawrence knocked out of the game, host Clemson rallied behind Travis Etienne, who ran for 2-yard touchdown with 41 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter to give the Tigers a win. Etienne finished with three TDs and a career-high 203 yards rushing to bail out the quarterback-depleted Tigers (5-0, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), who went from having one too many starting-caliber QBs earlier in the week to not enough by the second half against the Orange (4-1, 1-1).
Virginia Tech 31, No. 22 Duke 14: Ryan Willis threw for 332 yards and a career-best three touchdowns in his first start at Virginia Tech, helping the Hokies upset host Duke. Willis was 17 of 27 with a 27-yard TD pass to Damon Hazelton, a 67-yard catch-and-run score to Dalton Keene and a game-sealing 10-yarder to Phil Patterson.
Florida State 28, Louisville 24: Deondre Francois threw for a career-best four touchdowns, including a 58-yard scoring pass to Nyqwan Murray with 1:13 left, to rally visiting Florida State to a win. The Seminoles (3-2, 1-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) trailed 21-7 at halftime. Francois completed 16-of-27 passes for 294 yards. Murray caught six 114 yards and two scores.
N.C. State 35, Virginia 21: Freshman Ricky Person ran for a season-high 108 yards while receivers Kelvin Harmon and Emeka Emezie had big days to help host North Carolina State beat Virginia.
Wake Forest 56, Rice 10: Greg Dortch caught 11 passes for 163 yards and four touchdowns and host Wake Forest cruised. The Demon Deacons (3-2) punted on their opening drive, but that was their lone blemish in what was otherwise a nearly perfect start.
Georgia Tech 63, Bowling Green 17: Host Georgia Tech rushed for touchdowns the first seven times it had the ball with TaQuon Marshall, Jordan Mason and Tobias Oliver scoring twice each as the Yellow Jackets dominated Bowling Green.
Boston College 45, Temple 35: Anthony Brown threw for two touchdowns and caught one, AJ Dillon rushed for 161 yards and two scores before leaving with an apparent ankle injury and host Boston College held off Temple.
