Notable Atlantic Coast Conference football accomplishments

November 10th, 2009 · No Comments · ACC

* Georgia Tech leads the nation in time of possession, averaging 34:56 minutes per game, while the Yellow Jackets and Clemson Tigers are two of only four schools in the country to be ranked in the AP Top 25 in both football and men’s basketball.

* Last weekend had to be career weekend in the ACC because no fewer than five ACC running backs ran for their career bests, including Miami’s Graig Cooper (152) against Virginia, North Carolina’s Ryan Houston against Duke (164), Clemson’s C.J. Spiller (165) against Florida State, Virginia Tech’s Ryan Williams (179) against East Carolina and Georgia Tech’s Jonathan Dwyer (189) against Wake Forest.

* When Clemson scored its 40th point in its 40-24 win over Florida State, it marked the 25th time an ACC team has scored 40 or more points this year and it tied the Conference’s all-time high for 40-point performances set in 1999.

* Virginia Tech freshman tailback Ryan Williams now needs 157 yards to set a single-season ACC rushing record for freshmen. Williams now has 1,109 yards this year and trails teammate Darren Evans (1,265), who is sitting out this year with a knee injury, and North Carolina’s Amos Lawrence (1,211) on the conference freshman rushing list.

* For the second time in three weeks, Clemson’s C. J. Spiller set a school record for all-purpose yardage in a game. On Oct. 24, Spiller totalled 310 yards in the Tigers 40-37 overtime win over 8th-ranked Miami. This past week Spiller piled up 312 yards in Clemson’s 40-24 win over Florida State.

* Maryland wide receiver/kick returner Torrey Smith has shattered his own ACC record for most kickoff return yardage in a season with 1,113 yards. Smith, who returned kickoffs for 1,089 yards last year to set the mark, topped that Saturday against NC State, as he returned his 2nd kickoff for a score this year and third for his career. Smith, who already ranks 4th on the ACC career list for kickoff return yardage, is averaging 26.5 yards a return this year.

* Duke quarterback Thaddeus Lewis and Wake Forest QB Riley Skinner have had many similarities in their careers. Both are four-year starters, in fact both had their first career starts in the same game in 2006. Both will likely have their final, regular season starts against each other on Nov. 28, when Wake Forest travels to Duke. They both have thrown for 9,000 yards. In fact, this week, they both have thrown for exactly 9,163 yards and are tied for 6th place on the ACC career passing yardage list.
