* at Boston College 28, No. 17 Virginia Tech 23: Rich Gunnell returned a punt 65 yards for a touchdown and the Eagles (5-1, 2-1) overcame an off-night by quarterback Chris Crane to beat the Hokies (5-2, 2-2). Crane had three passes intercepted -- two of them returned for touchdowns -- and fumbled for another turnover. But Boston College stayed in the game with its defense, which limited Virginia Tech to a season-low 240 total yards.
* at Virginia 16, No. 18 North Carolina 13 (OT): Cedric Peerman scored from two yards in overtime to lift the Cavaliers (4-3, 2-1) over the Tar Heels (5-2, 1-2) at Charlottesville. Virginia trailed 10-3 with 2:18 to play, but Peerman scored on a two-yard run with 47 seconds left in regulation and Robert Randolph's conversion was barely good to send the game into overtime.
* at Maryland 26, No. 21 Wake Forest 0: Chris Turner threw for 321 yards to back a strong defensive showing by the Terrapins (5-2, 2-1) in a victory over the Demon Deacons (4-2, 2-1) at College Park. It was the fifth straight win over a top 25 team for Maryland and first shutout of a ranked opponent since Sept. 24, 1955, a 7-0 win over top-ranked UCLA.
