    No. 19 Virginia Tech holds on for 24-21 win over Duke

    Virginia Tech took the lead with some "Beamerball." The Hokies kept hold of it with another program staple -- some tough defense at the right time.

    Adonis Alexander returned a blocked field goal 75 yards for the early, go-ahead touchdown, and No. 19 Virginia Tech held on to beat Duke 24-21 on Saturday and remain in control of the ACC's Coastal Division race.

    No. 18 Oklahoma St rallies, survives to beat K-State 43-37

    Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy is never going to second-guess Kansas State counterpart Bill Snyder.

    There will be plenty of others who do.

    The No. 18 Cowboys took advantage when Snyder elected to punt near midfield on fourth-and-inches in the fourth quarter, and rallied for a 43-37 victory Saturday that was only secured when the Wildcats' pass to the end zone was picked off on the final play.

    No. 20 West Virginia hands Kansas 40th straight road loss

    West Virginia's Skyler Howard jumped just before safety Mike Lee plowed into him near the Kansas end zone, sending the quarterback into an awkward somersault and a hard landing on his right hip.

    Howard got up from the second-quarter scare at the end of the 15-yard run and went back to the huddle. His gutsy play epitomized his determination to restore confidence in an offense that looked flat a week ago in the Mountaineers' first loss of the season.

    "He plays his best when he's like that," West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said. "I thought he sparked us."

    Howard threw three touchdown passes and ran for two more scores to lead No. 20 West Virginia to a 48-21 victory over Kansas on Saturday night, sending the Jayhawks to their 40th straight road loss.

    No. 22 Florida State rallies past NC State 24-20

    All those lofty preseason goals -- making the College Football Playoff, winning the Atlantic Coast Conference championship -- are gone for No. 22 Florida State.

    Still, coach Jimbo Fisher sees a young group determined to finish strong.

    Deondre Francois threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to Travis Rudolph with 3:09 left to help the Seminoles rally to beat North Carolina State 24-20 on Saturday night despite trailing most of the night.

    Pitt stuns No. 2 Clemson on Chris Blewitt's 48-yard field goal

    James Conner's smile said it all -- Pittsburgh was happy to once again shuffle up the national championship picture.

    "Hey, sorry to do that. But we wanted this one bad," said Conner, who had two touchdowns and ran for 132 yards in the Panthers' 43-42 stunner over No. 2 Clemson on Saturday.

    Down 12-0, No. 6 Louisville blows by Wake Forest 44-12

    Down 12-0 and reeling from a turnover-prone first half, No. 6 Louisville recovered to reap major rewards from holding onto the ball.

    Just ask Brandon Radcliff, whose comeback from a giveaway ignited another Cardinals rout.

    Radcliff rushed for three touchdowns in Louisville's 41-point second half, and the Cardinals roared past Wake Forest 44-12 on Saturday night despite a relatively quiet night for Heisman Trophy front-runner Lamar Jackson.

    Watson throws 6 TD passes, leads No. 4 Clemson to 56-7 win

    Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson knew when the fourth-ranked Tigers' work was done against South Carolina -- and shared that with the huge, appreciative crowd at Death Valley.

    Watson, playing his final home game, threw his third TD pass of the opening quarter for a 21-0 lead Saturday night, then placed his hands together and leaned his head against them as if to say, "Nighty night."

    The Gamecocks never woke up after that in Clemson's 56-7 domination, the team's largest margin of victory in the rivalry since a 51-0 win in 1900.

    Watson accounts for 5 TDs, Clemson beats Virginia Tech 42-35

    Deshaun Watson's mission is not over.

    The Heisman Trophy hopeful and third-ranked Clemson Tigers are ready to return to the College Football Playoff and try to resolve some unfinished business from last season.

    Watson bolstered his candidacy for the sport's biggest individual award by passing for three touchdowns and running for two more to lead the Tigers (12-1, No. 3 CFP) a 42-35 victory over No. 19 Virginia Tech in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game Saturday night.

    QB Thomas Sirk to transfer from Duke for final season

    Duke quarterback Thomas Sirk has decided to transfer for his final season, coach David Cutcliffe announced Monday.

    Sirk was granted a sixth year of eligibility after he missed the 2016 season while rehabbing a torn Achilles tendon.

    Sirk is still rehabbing the injury and has not been medically cleared yet to resume practice. Duke started spring football earlier this month, and Sirk has remained on the sideline.

    New defensive look among the many changes at Louisville this spring

    The Louisville team that takes the field in September will be vastly different from the one that left the field in January. In that, there is no coincidence.

    One two-hour practice Tuesday revealed how, and why. Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Lamar Jackson took his usual snaps, and had his usual zip on the ball. But he also lined up under center at various points, a skill set he has been working to master all spring.

    Florida State has faith in Deondre Francois when it trails -- and for good reason

    Before last season, Jimbo Fisher said he subscribes to the cumbersome concept of “clutch” -- that some players continue to perform their best at the end of games.

    He just didn’t know if his redshirt freshman quarterback’s composition possessed the quality, so he abstained when asked three weeks before the 2016 opener. It took all of one game for Deondre Francois to gain Fisher’s confidence. The eighth-year head coach said with conviction last week that Francois’ late-game abilities can no longer be questioned.

    “This guy is a big-time player. Big-time player,” Fisher said. “He can lead, is tough, accurate. He will make a lot of money in this game one day, a bunch. That guy in big-time games, he competes.”
