WAKE'S HARTMAN NAMED WALTER CAMP NATIONAL OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK• Wake Forest QB Sam Hartman was named the Walter Camp Football Foundation National Player of the Week after passing for five touchdowns and rushing for another in 16th-ranked Wake Forest's 70-56 win over Army.

• Syracuse QB Garrett Schrader was responsible for five touchdowns in Syracuse’s comeback win over Virginia Tech. He ran for three scores and 174 yards on the ground, before leading a pair of scoring drives to over-come a 9-point deficit, with two touchdown passes in the game’s final 2:28. He threw for 236 yards, on top of his 174 on the ground, to post 410 yards of total offense on the day. The 174 yards on the ground are four shy of his career best and rank tied for 21st in ACC history for most rushing yards in a game by a quarterback.

• Virginia QB Brennan Armstrong had 495 yards of total offense in leading UVA to a 48-40 win over Georgia Tech. He rushed a team-high 12 times for 99 yards including two scores and completed 29 of 43 pass attempts for 396 yards and four TDs.

Van Dyke set career marks in nearly every category, including passing yards (325), completions (25) and touchdowns (25), connecting on 75.8% of his passes and throwing zero interceptions in an upset over the Wolfpack at Hard Rock Stadium.

• QB Kenny Pickett fueled Pitt’s 27-17 win over Clemson, throwing for 302 yards on 25-of-39 passing (64%) with two TDs and zero interceptions. Pickett compiled these impressive numbers against a Tigers defense that ranked among the nation’s stingiest, surrendering just 12.5 points per game.

• Louisville QB Malik Cunningham rushed 16 times for 133 yards in a win over Boston College. Cunningham is the third Louisville quarterback to rush for three touchdowns in a game, joining Lamar Jackson (six times from 2016-17) and Benny Russell (1965). His 31 career rushing touchdowns are tied for sixth in ACC history.

• Nine different quarterbacks from ACC schools have started at least one game in the NFL this season – most of any conference. Those players come from seven different schools, including BC's Matt Ryan (Falcons), Clemson's Trevor Lawrence (Jaguars), Duke's Daniel Jones (Giants), Florida State's Jameis Winston (Saints), Louisville's Ted-dy Bridgewater (Broncos) and Lamar Jackson (Ravens), NC State's Jacoby Brissett (Dolphins) and Russell Wilson (Seahawks) and Virginia Tech's Tyrod Taylor (Texans).

AROUND THE ACCt Boston College: Boston College has scored a touchdown on its opening possession in four of its seven games this season (Colgate, UMass, Temple, NC State). Against the Wolfpack, the Eagles covered 75 yards on 10 plays, capped off by an eight-yard touch-down pass from Dennis Grosel to Trae Barry.t Clemson: LB James Skalski recorded a career-high 18 tackles in the loss to Pitt, which tied for the third-most by an FBS player in a single game this season. He was one tackle shy of Clemson’s season high set by teammate Baylon Spector (19) vs. NCSU. t Duke: RB Mataeo Durant finished with 152 rushing yards on 43 carries and scored his ninth rushing touchdown of the season against Georgia Tech. The 43 total carries broke the single-game program record, previously held by Art Bosetti with 42 against South Carolina in 1970.t Florida State: According to ESPN Stats & Info, FSU is the third ACC team to start 0-4 and then win the next three. The Seminoles can even their record with a win at Clemson this weekend.t Georgia Tech: Georgia Tech PK Jude Kelley is 3-for-3 on onside kick attempts this season, including two perfectly executed onside kicks in the final two minutes of the Yellow Jackets’ narrow 48-40 defeat to Virginia.t Louisville: RB Trevion Cooley rushed for 112 yards on 13 carries for his first 100-yard rushing game of his career. Cooley and QB Malik Cunningham became the first Louisville teammates to rush for 100 yards in the same game since Malik Williams and Lamar Jackson did so against Syracuse on Nov. 18, 2017.t Miami: RB Jaylan Knighton enjoyed another strong performance in Saturday’s win over No. 18 NC State. Knighton totaled a career-high 166 all-purpose yards, including 83 receiving yards and a 53-yard touchdown catch, to go along with a career-best 21 carries for 83 yards.t North Carolina: In the win over Miami, WR Josh Downs had a career-high 11 receptions for 96 yards and scored a receiving touchdown for the eighth-straight game going back to last year's Orange Bowl. He extended his streak to seven-straight games with eight or more catches, the longest such streak in college football since Fresno State’s Davante Adams in 2013. t NC State: WR Emeka Emezie became NC State's all-time receptions leader in the win over BC. He now has 203 career catches, which ranks 22nd in ACC history.t Pitt: In the last 15 years, Pitt's Kenny Pickett is the third ACC quarterback to throw for multiple touch-downs in seven consecutive games, joining Jameis Winston (2013) and Sam Howell (2019).t Syracuse: RB Sean Tucker carried the ball 20 times for 112 yards and one touchdown in Syracuse’s win over Virginia Tech. He also caught two passes for 14 yards. It’s the sixth-straight game he has run for 100-plus yards, setting a new program record for consecutive 100-yard games. He also became the first running back in the nation to cross the 1,000-yard mark this season.t Virginia: QB Brennan Armstrong amassed 495 yards of total offense in leading UVA to a win over Georgia Tech. He rushed a team-high 12 times for 99 yards including two scores. His 45-yard rush was the longest by a Cavalier this season. t Virginia Tech: Freshman RB Malachi Thomas had 21 carries for 151 yards and three TDs - his first colle-giate TDs - in the loss to Syracuse. He recorded VT’s first individual 100-yard rushing game of the season and became Tech’s first true freshman to record one since 2019.t Wake Forest: Wake Forest scored 70 points against Army although only possessing the ball for 17 minutes. That averages out to four points for every minute of possession.

ACC PLAYERS NOMINATED FOR FWAA COURAGE AWARD & MAYO CLINIC COMEBACK AWARD• Florida State QB McKenzie Milton has been nominated for the 2021 Capital One Orange Bowl-FWAA Courage Award and the 2021 Mayo Clinic Comeback Player of the Year Award. Milton has returned from a nearly catastrophic knee injury suffered at UCF to start at quar-terback for the Seminoles this season. Milton’s right leg was nearly amputated following a gruesome injury during a UCF game against USF on Nov. 23, 2018. He suffered nerve and artery damage, along with a dislocated knee and torn ligaments. Doctors were not sure if Milton would be able to one day walk again without a limp, and the idea of ever playing football again was all but ruled out. Milton returned to the playing field in the opener vs. Notre Dame.

• Clemson wide receiver Justyn Ross and Duke center Jack Wohlabaugh have also been nominated for the 2021 Mayo Clinic Comeback Player of the Year Award. Ross was one of the most explosive receivers in college football in 2018-19, catching 112 passes for 1865 yards and 17 touchdowns including six receptions for 153 yards and a 74-yard TD as a freshman in the national championship game versus Alabama. Poised for another big season last year, his 2020 campaign ended in June, when being treated for a “stinger” injury to his neck at spring practice, doctors discovered a congenital fusion condition of his neck and spine that required surgery.

• Wohlabaugh, a three-year starter for the Blue Devils, had two season-ending injuries, a left ankle injury requiring surgery that cost him the final three games of the 2019 campaign and a torn right anterior cruciate ligament in his knee prior to the 2020 season that forced him to miss the entire year. The 6-4, 305-pound starting center was fully healthy by the first week of training camp this year and regained his starting position. With his leadership, the offensive line has been a bright spot for the Blue Devils, helping lead them to average 27 points, 203.9 rushing yards and 268.57 passing yards per contest.

ALL-TIME WINS• Six ACC schools rank among the top 30 schools in the country in total wins - all with more than 700 victories.14. Clemson - 77217. Virginia Tech - 76020. Georgia Tech - 74420. Pitt - 74422. Syracuse - 72930. North Carolina - 710

CLEMSON PICKED TO WIN ACC• Clemson was an overwhelming preseason favorite to claim its seventh consecutive ACC football title, according to a preseason poll of 147 media voters. The Tigers, who posted a 10-2 record last season while earning a postseason playoff berth for the sixth consecutive year, were also chosen as likely Atlantic Division winners. North Carolina was picked to finish atop the Coastal Division following an eight-win 2020 season that culminated with the program’s first-ever berth in the Orange Bowl.

2021 ACC FOOTBALL TIEBREAKER POLICYIf more than one team in the same division is tied for the best winning percentage in its Conference games, the procedures listed below will be followed to determine the division’s representative in the ACC Championship Game:

Two-Team Tie: 1. Head-to-head competition between the two tied teams. 2. Win percentage of the tied teams within the division. 3. Head-to-head competition versus the team within the division with the best overall win percentage. (Divisional and non-divisional) and proceeding through the division.

Combined win percentage vs. all non-divisional opponents. 6. Win percentage versus common non-divisional opponents based on their order of finish (over-all conference win percentage) and proceeding through other common non-divisional teams based upon their divisional order of finish.7. The tied team with the higher ranking by the Team Rating Score metric provided by SportSource Analytics following the conclusion of regular season games.8. The representative shall be chosen by a draw as administered by the Commissioner or the Commis-sioner’s designee.

Three-Team (or More) Team Tie(Once a team is eliminated from the tie, the tie-breaker procedures restart for the remaining teams. If the three (or more) team tie can be re-duced to two teams, the two-team tiebreaker format will then be applied.)

Head-to-head competition versus the team within the division with the best overall (divisional and non-divisional) Conference win percentage, and proceeding through the division. Multiple ties within the division will be broken first to last, using the league’s tie-breaker policies. 4. Combined win percentage versus all common non-divisional opponents. 5. Overall win percentage versus non-divisional opponents. 6. Win percentage versus common non-divisional opponents based upon their order of finish (overall win percentage) and proceeding through other common non-divisional opponents based upon their divisional order of finish.7. The tied team with the higher ranking by the Team Rating Score metric provided by SportSource Analytics following the conclusion of regular season games.8. The representative shall be chosen by a draw as administered by the Commissioner or the Commis-sioner’s designee.

ACC COACHING NOTES

n The ACC has five coaches in the top 25 of wins among active coaches.

ACC N OT E S

n The ACC has won seven national championships in football, men’s bas-ketball, women’s basketball and baseball since 2015. The ACC is the only conference to win each of those four titles over that stretch.

n The ACC has won three of the last eight football national titles and three of the last six men’s basketball national championships (most of any confer-ence) since 2015.

n The ACC has had a team in either the College Football Playoff or the BCS National Championship Game in each of the past eight years.

n Clemson (15-0) won the league’s eighth football national championship in 2018 with a 44-16 win over previously unbeaten Alabama. The 28-point margin of victory was the largest over a No. 1 ranked team in ACC history.

n In April 2018, the ACC and the Charlotte Sports Foundation announced a 10-year agreement that will keep the ACC Football Championship Game in Charlotte through the 2030 season. The game will be played annually at Bank of America Stadium on the first Saturday in December.

n The ACC Football Championship Game has sold out four times in Charlotte (2010, 2011, 2015, 2017, 2020).

n The economic impact of the 2019 game was close to $30 million.

n Eleven different ACC teams have played in the game since its inception in 2005. Clemson leads all teams with eight appearances, followed by Virginia Tech (6) and Florida State (5).

n In addition to CFP participants Clemson and Notre Dame, four additional ACC teams played in a bowl game in 2020 - North Carolina in the Capital One Orange Bowl, Miami in the Cheez-It Bowl, NC State in the TaxSlayer Gator Bowl and Wake Forest in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl. It was the 20th consecutive season in which the ACC earned at least six bowl bids. The ACC ranks second among all conferences with 143 bowl appearances since 2005.

n Six different ACC teams have played in the prestigious Capital One Orange Bowl since 2013 – Clemson in 2013 & 2015, Georgia Tech in 2014, Florida State in 2016, Miami in 2017, Virginia in 2019 and North Carolina in 2020.

n A nation's best 10 ACC teams played a postseason bowl game following the 2019 season – Boston College (TicketSmarter Bowl), Clemson (CFP), Florida State (Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl), Louisville (Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl), Miami (Walk-On's Independence Bowl), North Carolina (Military Bowl presented by Northrop Grumman), Pitt (Quick Lane Bowl), Virginia (Capital One Orange Bowl), Virginia Tech (Belk Bowl) and Wake Forest (New Era Pinstripe Bowl).

n The ACC is in its seventh year of a 12-year agreement with the Capital One Orange Bowl, which will host an ACC team—either its champion or next available team—in all years when the Orange Bowl is not a semifinal site for the College Football Playoff. The opponent will be the highest ranked available team from the SEC, Big Ten or Notre Dame.

n The ACC’s current bowl lineup includes the addition of the San Diego County Credit Union Holiday Bowl and the newly created Fenway Bowl in Boston. In addition to those two bowls, the ACC has agreements through 2025 with the Cheez-It Bowl, Duke’s Mayo Bowl, Military Bowl Presented by Peraton, New Era Pinstripe Bowl, TaxSlayer Gator Bowl and Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl. The league will also send a team to either the Gasparilla Bowl, Birmingham Bowl or SERVPRO First Responder Bowl on an annual basis. In addition, the ACC will send a team to the Outback Bowl if the league’s opponent in a non-semifinal Capital One Orange Bowl is from the Big Ten.

n Since the 2005 season, the ACC has had 570 players chosen in the NFL Draft, including 95 first-round picks, the second highest totals of any conference.

n The ACC has had 331 players selected since 2013 - the second-highest total among all conferences - and has had

40 or more players picked in five of the last eight drafts. The ACC’s 45 draftees in 2018 was its third-highest ever.

n Current ACC teams have had a total of nine players chosen as the first overall selection in the NFL Draft.

The most recent was Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence, who was tabbed first in 2021 by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Miami

(Vinny Testaverde, 1987, Tampa Bay; and Russell Maryland, 1991, Dallas) and Virginia Tech (Bruce Smith, 1985, Buffalo; and Michael

Vick, 2001, Atlanta) each had two top selections while Clemson (Lawrence, 2021, Jaguars), Florida State (Jameis Winston, 2015, Tampa Bay), NC State (Mario Williams, 2006, Houston), Virginia (Bill Dudley, 1942, Pittsburgh) and Syracuse (Ernie Davis, 1962, Washington) each had one. Also, NC State’s Roman Gabriel, the No. 2 overall selection in the 1962 draft, was chosen No. 1 in the AFL Draft by the Oakland Raiders.

n A player from a current ACC school has won the William V. Campbell Trophy® five times, including three times in the last seven years. The award recognizes an individual as the absolute best football scholar-athlete in the nation for his combined academic success, football performance and exemplary leadership.

n Eleven of 14 ACC Football teams earned a graduation success rate (GSR) at or above the FBS average based on the

report released by the NCAA last November. That tied for the most among Power 5 conferences.

n The ACC remains the only conference to have multiple teams register GSR scores of 90 or higher

every year since 2005. Duke (97), Louisville (94), Boston College (90) and Virginia (90) reached

that plateau in this year’s report.

n For the 15th consecutive year, the ACC led the way among FBS conferences in the

“Best Colleges” rankings released by U.S. News & World Report.

• The Capital One Orange Bowl and the Goodyear Cotton Bowl are national semifinal sites for the 2021 season. There is no limit on how many teams from one conference can appear in the CFP.

• If the ACC Champion is in the top four of the final CFP rankings, it will play in one of the national semifinal games. Additional ACC teams could also be selected for the CFP, Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl or PlayStation Fiesta Bowl as at-large representatives. • If the ACC Champion is not in the top four of the final CFP rankings, it will appear in either the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl or the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl. Additional ACC teams could also be selected for the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl or PlayStation Fiesta Bowl as at-large representatives.

• The ACC and its bowl partners will make team selections based on several factors, including geographic proximity, avoiding repeat appearances and matchups, and regular-season won-loss records.
