ACC ROUNDUP

-

Louisville 38, Western Kentucky 21: At Nashville, Tenn., redshirt sophomore quarterbac­k Malik Cunningham directed four first-half scoring drives before leaving in the third quarter following a hit to the head. True freshman Evan Conley finished up and threw a 62-yard touchdown pass on his second throw of the game as the Cardinals (2-1) dominated the Hilltopper­s (1-2). Cunningham completed 7 of 10 passes in the first half for 114 yards and two touchdowns as Louisville built 31-7 halftime lead. A 9-yard shovel pass to Tutu Atwell gave Louisville a 7-0 firstquart­er lead with 4:18 left. On the Cardinals’ next offensive series, Cunningham and Atwell hooked up again on a 46-yard touchdown throw. Western Kentucky closed to within 14-7 when Steven Duncan found Joshua Simon for a 77-yard TD pass. But the Hilltopper­s gave up 17 unanswered points to close out the first half. Miami 63, Bethune-Cookman 0: Jarren Williams threw for 254 yards and three scores, and host Miami gave rookie coach Manny Diaz his first victory. Williams went 19 for 24 without a turnover or a sack, and his scoring passes covered 22 yards to K.J. Osborn, 32 yards to Michael Harley and 1 yard to Larry Hodges. Williams’ longest throw was to Mark Pope for a 54-yard gain, and he departed late in the third quarter. DeeJay Dallas ran for 108 yards and three touchdowns. Miami outgained the Wildcats 590-137 and held them to four first downs. The Citadel 27, Georgia Tech 24 (OT): Jacob Godek kicked a 37-yard field goal in overtime, quarterbac­k Brandon Rainey ran for one touchdown and passed for another, and FCS The Citadel stunned host Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech’s defense allowed 320 yards rushing against the triple-option, a scheme it faced in practice the last 11 years under former coach Paul Johnson, but the Yellow Jackets (1-2) still figured to have an enough talent to overcome The Citadel. Instead, the Bulldogs (1-2) never trailed despite having lost at home to Towson and on the road to Elon. Virginia Tech 24, Furman 17: Tré Turner scored second half touchdowns rushing and receiving, helping host Virginia Tech rally past FCS Furman. The Hokies (2-1) trailed 14-3 at halftime, but scored on their first two possession­s of the second half to grab the lead. Turner’s 29-yard touchdown run with 5:04 remaining sealed the win. Virginia Tech tailback Keshawn King, making his first collegiate start, rushed for 119 yards. His 54-yard run on the second play of the second half to set up a 3-yard touchdown run by James Mitchell that cut the Furman lead to 14-10. A fumble by Furman’s Devin Wynn on the ensuing possession was costly, with the Hokies converting on Ryan Willis’ 2-yard touchdown pass to Turner with 8:12 left in the third. That score put Virginia Tech in the lead for good.
