ACC Notes

• No. 1 Clemson and No. 21 Virginia are ranked in this week's AP Top 25 Poll. The Tigers have held the top spot all season, while the Cavaliers moved up four spots from a week ago. This is Virginia's highest ranking since 2007. Wake Forest, which is 3-0 for the third time in the last four seasons, is also receiving votes. 
• Week four of the ACC football season features one league matchup with Florida State playing host to Louisville at 3:30 p.m. on ESPN. Boston College looks to rebound with a noon kickoff against Big Ten opponent Rutgers, and Pitt welcomes No. 15 UCF to town at 3:30 p.m. on ABC. This is the second consecutive ranked opponent for the Panthers, who suffered a hard-fought 17-10 loss last week at No. 13 Penn State.   UCF has won 27 consecutive regular-season games. The Panthers have a history of knocking off teams on winning streaks. They beat No. 2 Miami in 2017 to stop the Hurricanes' 15-game win streak and stopped No. 3 Clemson's nine-game win streak in 2016.
• Six other games this weekend match the ACC against a Group of Five opponent, including Western Michigan at Syracuse, Appalachian State at North Carolina, Central Michigan at Miami, Ball State at NC State, Old Dominion at No. 21 Virginia and Charlotte at No. 1 Clemson.
• Clemson has won 18 consecutive games. That is the second-longest streak in ACC history and the longest active streak in the country. The league record is 29 straight by Florida State from 2012-14.
• ACC Win Streaks (all games)
  • 29 - Florida State, 2012-14
  • 18 - Clemson, 2018-present
  • 17 - Florida State, 1999-2000
  • 17 - Clemson, 2014-15
• The Tigers have won 13 consecutive games by 14 points or more, which is now tied for the fifth-longest streak in the AP Poll era (since 1936).
• North Carolina head coach Mack Brown has won 71 games at UNC, which is one shy of tying Dick Crum for most at UNC. Brown will attempt to tie the mark this weekend against Appalachian State, a team he coached for one season in 1983. The 71 wins are the 17th-most in ACC history. Brown passed Bobby Ross (70 wins) with the victory over Miami. Brown’s 44 ACC wins tie for 12th all-time with Danny Ford and Al Groh. 
• Eleven ACC head coaches have won at least 50 career games, including five with more than 100 victories.  The five 100-win coaches are UNC's Mack Brown (246), Wake Forest's Dave Clawson (121), Clemson's Dabo Swinney (119), Virginia's Bronco Mendenhall (118) and Duke's David Cutcliffe (113).  No other conference has as many coaches with 100 career wins.
• Wake Forest receivers have won each of the first three ACC Receiver of the Week honors. Sage Surratt captured the honor in week one vs. Utah State and week three vs. North Carolina.  Scotty Washington earned the honor in a week two win at Rice. It is just the second time that one school has won ACC Receiver of the Week honors in three consecutive weeks. The only other time it occurred was when Clarkston Hines of Duke won the honor three consecutive weeks in 1989.
• Clemson running back Travis Etienne has 40 career rushing touchdowns, which ranks just outside the top 10 career leaders in ACC history. North Carolina's Mike Voight (1973-76) is 10th with 42. Pitt's James Conner (2013-14, 2016) holds the ACC career mark with 52. Etienne also has 42 career touchdowns (40 rushing, 2 receiving), which ranks 14th in league history.
• Several ACC players rank among the top 10 in the NCAA statistics.  Wake Forest's Sage Surratt is third in total receiving yards (372) and fourth in receiving yards per game (124.0).  His teammate, QB Jamie Newman, is ninth in total offense (356.7).  Florida State's Cam Akers is seventh in rushing yards per game (129.0) and ninth in all-purpose yards per game (154.3). Pitt's QB Kenny Pickett is fifth in completions per game (27.3), while teammate Maurice Ffrench is sixth in receptions per game (8.0). Florida State's James Blackman is seventh in passing touchdowns (9). Virginia Tech's Oscar Bradburn is second in punting average (50.1), followed closely by Syracuse's Sterling Hofrichter, who is fifth (48.1).  Louisville's Tutu Atwell is seventh in receiving touchdowns (4), Miami's Deejay Dallas is eighth in rushing yards per carry (8.35) and rushing touchdowns (8). Dallas is tied with Boston College's AJ Dillon, who also has eight rushing scores (8).  Wake Forest's Carlos "Boogie" Basham and Pitt's Jaylen Twyman are tied for fifth in sacks per game (1.50).  Virginia's Joe Reed is fourth in kickoff return yards (45.8). 
• Boston College's AJ Dillon captured his sixth ACC Running Back of the Week award in a 151-yard effort against Kansas.  Dillon now has 3,015 rushing yards, which ranks sixth among active players.  He is closing in on the top 30 of ACC rushers.  Maryland's Charlie Wysocki is 30th with 3,317 rushing yards.
• The ACC leads the country with eight starting quarterbacks in the NFL.  NC State leads all schools with three starters – Jacoby Brissett (Colts), Philip Rivers (Chargers) and Russell Wilson (Seahawks).  Other starters from the ACC include Louisville's Lamar Jackson (Ravens), Boston College's Matt Ryan (Falcons), North Carolina's Mitch Trubisky (Bears), Clemson's Deshaun Watson (Texans) and Florida State's Jameis Winston (Buccaneers). Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater (Saints) came off the bench this past Sunday after Drew Brees went down with an injury.
• Clemson linebacker Isaiah Simmons was selected the Walter Camp Football Foundation national defensive player of the week for his performance in a 41-6 win at Syracuse. A junior from Olathe, Kansas, Simmons recorded eight tackles (3.5 for losses) and two quarterback sacks to earn the Tigers’ 18th consecutive victory.
• Virginia's wide receiver/return specialist Joe Reed was named to the weekly Paul Hornung Award Honor Roll for his role in the Cavaliers' win over Florida State. Reed's 12-yard touchdown reception tied the game in the fourth quarter, and his 22-yard run keyed Virginia's game-winning touchdown drive late in the game. He had eight receptions for 83 yards and a touchdown, added 22 yards on the ground and returned one kickoff for 35 yards.
• Duke's Quentin Harris was named a Davey O'Brien "Great 8" performer after completing 24 of 27 pass attempts for 237 yards and four touchdowns against Middle Tennessee.  He also added 107 rushing yards on 11 carries in a 41-18 win over Middle Tennessee.
• The Augusta Sports Council and the Ray Guy Award named Sterling Hofrichter of Syracuse as the Ray Guy Award Punter of the Week for Week 3 games. Hofrichter punted nine times against Clemson for a total of 470 yards. His gross average of 52.22 yards was the fourth-best, single-game mark in school history.
