    Miami’s coaching staff sent a clear message to its receivers this week by opening up what was a nine-player competition for three starting spots.

    Mike Harley heard them — and came up with the best game of his career.

    D’Eriq King threw for 322 yards and a touchdown, Harley had career bests of 10 catches for 170 yards and No. 11 Miami outlasted Virginia 19-14 on Saturday night.

    Boston College is back to being a running team, and that’s fine with quarterback Phil Jurkovec.

    After throwing for 300-plus yards in four of his first five games for BC — the most prolific start of an Eagles career ever — Jurkovec was happy to let the running game take over on Saturday in a 48-27 victory over Georgia Tech. The Eagles ran for 264 yards in all, with Jurkovec providing 94 of them to lead the way.

    Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence has tested positive for COVID-19, putting into doubt whether the face of college football will be available to play the top-ranked Tigers’ biggest game of the season.

    Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said in a statement released by the school Thursday night that Lawrence is in isolation with mild symptoms.

    Swinney said Lawrence would miss Clemson’s game Saturday against Boston College. The Tigers are scheduled to play No. 4 Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, on Nov. 7.

    When No. 11 Miami needed to make plays, D’Eriq King said he had faith in his teammates.

    In turn, the Hurricanes figured they had the right guy at quarterback

    King threw five touchdown passes, the last a go-ahead 54-yard catch-and-run play with Michael Harley with 2:43 left, and Miami rallied to beat North Carolina State 44-41 on Friday night.

    Fans storm the field after Notre Dame defeated the Clemson 47-40 in two

    When Clemson’s desperate attempt to convert a fourth-and-forever ended in a scrum, Notre Dame quarterback Ian Book tossed his helmet as he sprinted onto the field to celebrate with his teammates.

    Within seconds, thousands of fans joined in, rushing the field amid a pandemic for a postgame party that most definitely did not meet the CDC’s social-distancing guidelines.

    “When fans stormed the field, it was fun,” Book said.

    Kyren Williams put the Irish ahead with a 3-yard touchdown run in the second overtime and No. 4 Notre Dame shut down top-ranked Clemson with a couple of sacks to seal a 47-40 win Saturday night.

    Pickett returns to help Pitt snap skid, defeat Florida St.

    Kenny Pickett knew he would miss some games with an ankle injury. But he also had a recovery plan and intended to be back in time to face Florida State.

    His return was just the spark Pittsburgh needed.

    Nick Patti had two touchdown runs, Pickett added a 10-yard TD run and the Panthers capitalized on short fields to defeat Florida State 41-17 on Saturday night, snapping a four-game losing streak.

    Notre Dame has a history of following big wins with letdowns against rival Boston College.

    This time the Irish wound up making some history for their coach at the Eagles’ expense.

    Ian Book passed for three touchdowns and ran for another and the second-ranked Irish overcame an early deficit to roll to a 45-31 victory over BC on Saturday.

    Ian Book kept scrambling to buy time and help No. 2 Notre Dame put together multiple long touchdown drives. The Fighting Irish’s defense allowed little room for Sam Howell and No. 25 North Carolina’s potent offense to do the same.

    Book threw for a score while the Fighting Irish defense locked down the Tar Heels for the final three quarters in a 31-17 victory on Friday. The win kept Notre Dame on course to earn a spot in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game.

    Trevor Lawrence has stuck to his plan throughout his time at Clemson — and if this is his final game at Death Valley, he couldn’t come up with a more perfect end.

    Lawrence threw for 403 yards and two touchdowns in his first game in five weeks to lead the fourth-ranked Tigers to a 52-17 victory over Pittsburgh in what’s likely to be his last home game.

    Ian Book’s final game at Notre Dame Stadium on Saturday was one for the record books — both for him and the second-ranked Fighting Irish.

    “Bittersweet, definitely a little emotional but I just took it all in,” said the fifth-year senior quarterback after throwing three touchdown passes and running for two more as the Irish rolled to a 45-21 victory against Syracuse.

    Michael Carter and Javonte Williams accomplished something that no teammates in major college football history had previously done.

    The Orange Bowl — where North Carolina has never been — might be their reward.

    Carter and Williams set a Football Bowl Subdivision record by combining for 544 yards rushing, and No. 20 North Carolina embarrassed No. 9 Miami 62-26 on Saturday in the regular-season finale for both teams.
