ACC Football Power Rankings: NC State continues to climb in Week 7

The Miami Hurricanes are one of two undefeated teams remaining in the ACC. They’re the biggest threat to win the Coastal division with the Hokies early loss to the Clemson Tigers on Sept. 30.

The Hurricanes have won two conference games on the road since returning to play after a two-week hiatus. Quarterback Malik Rosier continues to look sharp after throwing for 254 passing yards and three passing touchdowns.

Wide receiver Braxton Berrios finished with eight receptions for 80 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns to carry the receiving corps.

It was wide receiver Darrell Langham’s 23-yard reception with six seconds remaining that saved the day for Miami and company. They host Georgia Tech this week at 3:30pm.

The Clemson Tigers remain atop the ACC power rankings as the team to beat. They didn’t struggle too much with Wake Forest in Week 6, winning 28-14. The score looked close at the end but the Demon Deacons points came in the final quarter.

Quarterback Kelly Bryant left early in the third quarter, but he finished with 200 passing yards, a passing touchdown and an interception. Bryant also had a fumble in the game.

Quarterback Hunter Johnson went 5-for-5 with 42 passing yards and a touchdown in relief.  Running back Travis Etienne had 67 rushing yards and a touchdown in the game to lead all rushers.
