ACC ROUNDUP

No. 4 Clemson 63, Wake Forest 3: Travis Etienne rushed for 167 yards and three touchdowns, and Clemson ran for 471 yards in a rout of host Wake Forest. In addition to Etienne – who scored on runs of 59, 3 and 70 yards – Lyn-J Dixon rushed for 163 yards and Adam Choice had 128. Dixon had touchdown runs of 65 and 52 yards, and Choice had a 64-yard TD run. They helped the Tigers (6-0, 3-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) open with six victories for the fourth straight year.

No. 17 Miami 28, Florida State 27: N’Kosi Perry threw four touchdown passes, and host Miami pulled off its biggest comeback ever against Florida State by rallying from 20 points down. Brevin Jordan’s 41-yard touchdown grab with just under 12 minutes left put the Hurricanes (5-1, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) ahead for good, as Miami rallied from a 27-7 secondhalf deficit. The win was Miami’s first at home over Florida State (3-3, 1-3) since 2004, snapping a sixgame slide in South Florida against its archrival.

No. 23 N.C. State 28, Boston College 23: Reggie Gallaspy ran for a career-best 104 yards and two touchdowns while host North Carolina State held on after squandering most of a big second-half lead. Ryan Finley threw for two touchdowns for the Wolfpack (5-0, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), which led this one 28-3 on Finley’s scoring strike to Kelvin Harmon with 2:57 left in the third. But the Eagles (4-2, 1-1) responded with 20 straight points, including a blocked punt return for a score with 3:33 left that made it a one-possession game.

Pittsburgh 44, Syracuse 37 (OT): Pittsburgh’s Darrin Hall ran for 107 yards and two touchdowns, including the go-ahead score in overtime, as the host Panthers rallied past Syracuse. Hall’s 3-yard burst on the opening possession of the extra period put the Panthers up and Pitt sophomore defensive back Therran Coleman picked off Syracuse’s Eric Dungey in the end zone on the Orange’s first offensive snap to give the Panthers a stirring victory.
