ACC Football By The Numbers

.900 - The field goal percentage of Clem-

son PK Greg Huegel. Huegel, originally a walk-on who was not on the roster of Clemson's preseason media guide, has made 18 of 20 field-goal attempts and is tied for seventh nationally in field-goal percentage. He has made all 15 of his field goal attempts in ACC play, the most consecutive field goals this year in league play nationally.

1 - Boston College leads the nation in

total defense (236.5), in rushing defense (71.7) and in first downs defense (127). The Eagles are also second nationally in third-down conversion percentage (.233) and fourth-down conversion percentage (.200) and are third in the nation in scoring defense, allowing just 14.4 points per game.

2 - Duke S Jeremy Cash is ranked third

nationally in tackles for loss, averaging 1.75 per game with 17.5 in 10 games. Cash is the only defensive back listed among the Top 50 players nationally in tackles for loss.

7 - North Carolina WR-PR Ryan Switzer's

78-yard TD punt return against Miami Saturday was the seventh of his career, which is an ACC record and is one shy of the NCAA career mark.

7.59 - The average gain per play for

North Carolina's offense. The Tar Heels are threatening the ACC season record for highest gain per play in total offense of 7.67, set in 2013 by Florida State.

8 - The ACC has eight teams that have

achieved bowl eligibility in Clemson, Duke, Florida State, Louisville, Miami, North Carolina, NC State and Pitt. Virginia Tech can become the ninth bowl-bound league team with a win this Saturday against North Carolina or on Nov. 28 against Virginia.

8.05 - The average number of yards per

carry for Florida State RB Dalvin Cook. Cook's average ranks second nationally only to Matt Breida of Georgia Southern.

9 - North Carolina has now won nine con-

secutive games. That is the sixth-longest current winning streak in the FBS.

9.4 - The average number of tackles

per game for Virginia sophomore S Quin Blanding. Blanding leads the ACC and is 8th nationally among all defensive backs in total tackles.

13 - Clemson has now won 13 straight

games, and that is the second-longest current winning streak in the nation (only to Ohio State's 23 straight) and the longest for the Tigers since 1980-81 when the Tigers won 13 straight and the second longest in Clemson history (15, 1947-49). It also ties for the sixth-longest winning streak in ACC history.

25 - With otwo regular-season games re-

maining, Duke head coach David Cutcliffe has already led Duke to 25 wins over the past three seasons, tying the school record. The school mark was set originally by the 193638 teams of Wallace Wade, which posted a 25-4-1 record, and tied by Cutcliffe's 201214 teams (25-15). Duke is now 25-12 since the start of the 2013 season.

46.67 - The percentage of 2015 ACC league

games that have been decided by seven or fewer points. That is the highest percentage of any conference nationally.

63 - After making 9 catches for 89 yards

against Louisville, Virginia RB Taquan Mizzell has 63 receptions this year, which ties former UVA RB Alvin Pearman for the fourth-highest total for a running back in ACC history. Boston College's Andre Callender set the record in 2007, making 76 catches.

71 - Dabo Swinney is now 71-26 in his

career at Clemson. He is in 15th-place on the ACC career wins list.

125 - The number of points North Caro-

lina has scored in back-to-back ACC games against Duke (66-31) and Miami (59-21). That's the most by a team in ACC history in consecutive games, both of which were in conference play.The previous high was 122, set by Florida State in 1995 at Clemson (4526) and at home against NC State (77-17).

164.95 - The pass efficiency rating for

Clemson QB Deshaun Watson in his last five games. During that time Watson completed 137 of 179 passes (.709) for 1,603 yards and 12 TDs. In his last five games, he has totalled 1,995 yards, an average of 399 yards

5

per game, and 16 TDR despite playing little more than a half in one of those games. He has topped 100 rushing yards in each of his last two games, averaging 6.3 yards per carry.

182.08 - The pass efficiency rating for

North Carolina QB Marquise Williams in his last four games. Williams has completed 69 of 100 passes (.690) for 1,095 yards and 7 TDs and has run for 400 more yards and six scores.

232 - The number of career receptions for

Pitt WR Tyler Boyd in less than three full seasons. Boyd is tied with former Clemson standout Aaron Kelly (232, 2005-08) for sixth place on the ACC career receptions list. Boyd has been in double figures in catches in four of his nine games this year.

278 - The number of career victories for

Virginia Tech head coach Frank Beamer. That is the most of any active FBS head coach and ranks sixth on the NCAA's FBS all-time list. Beamer trails only the icons of the game in career wins in Joe Paterno (409), Bobby Bowden (377), Paul "Bear" Bryant (323), Glenn "Pop" Warner (319) and Amos Alonzo Stagg (314). To give perspective, Florida State's Jimbo Fisher has averaged 11.6 wins a year in his first five years as a head coach, the best mark in league history. Fisher would have to average 11.6 wins a year for the next 19 years, or until 2034, to pass Beamer on the all-time wins list.

397 - The number of career points for

Duke PK Ross Martin. Martin moved into third place on the ACC career list and now trails only Chandler Catanzaro of Clemson (404, 2010-13) and Dustin Hopkins of Florida State (466, 2009-12).

699 - Clemson's win over Syracuse last

week was the 699th in the school's history. A win Saturday against Wake Forest at Clemson would make the Tigers the fifth ACC team to top the 700 win mark.

1,369 - The number of rushing yards

this year for Florida State RB Dalvin Cook, which is an FSU school season record. Cook needs 89 yards this week against Chattanooga to have the 10th-best single season in league history.
