A look at the ACC

• Feeding off its huge upset victory over Florida State last weekend, North Carolina defeated N.C. State in Raleigh Saturday 17-9. The Tar Heels continued to use both Ronald Curry and Darian Durant at QB, both of whom made significant strides this week in their efficiency (see story, page eight).

In other ACC action:

Florida State 48, Wake Forest 24

Maryland 32, West Virginia 20

Clemson 47, Georgia Tech 44

• After its win over West Virginia last Saturday, Maryland was named to the top 25 for the first time in six seasons. The Terrapins stand at 4-0 overall and 2-0 in ACC play, and are only one of four ACC teams ranked in the Associated Press poll.
