Welcome to Blue Shirt Day!

Blue Shirt Day, also known as World Day of Bullying Prevention, takes place on the first Monday of October each year, being the kickoff to National Bullying Prevention Month. Students, schools, and community members wear blue shirts to highlight bullying prevention, and in solidarity with those who experience bullying in all its forms, such as cyberbullying, cruelty, racism, and homophobia. The color blue was chosen because in many cultures it is seen as bringing calmness and peace, as well as importance and confidence.
Blue Shirt Day®, also known as World Day of Bullying Prevention™, is being observed today! It has been observed the first Monday in October since 2009.

Syracuse quarterback Tommy DeVito says he’s ‘good to go’ (localsyr.com)


During the bye week, one of the biggest question marks was the health of redshirt sophomore quarterback Tommy DeVito.

He answered those questions saying, “I’m practicing. I’m good to go.”

He left the Orange’s last win, 41-3 against Holy Cross, before the bye early in the fourth quarter. It was believed he suffered an upper body injury on an intercepted pass with under 13 minutes left to play in the game, but he say’s it happened earlier than that.

DeVito did say he’s still working to get completely healthy adding, “I’m good, just getting better everyday. Still have to work on some rehab things but I’m good.”

But he isn’t worried about getting in rhythm for the first ACC road game of the year. “Everything is the same, just going to play football,” said DeVito.

DeVito is lined up to start against NC State this Thursday. Kickoff is at 8pm.


NC State opens as 4.5-point favorite against Syracuse (backingthepack.com; Muma)

It is inarguably a big week for both NC State and Syracuse, which head into their Thursday night meeting with identical 3-2 records. Neither one has a win against a power-five opponent, and both could badly use the confidence boost heading into the second half of their schedules.

NC State opened as a modest 4.5-point favorite against the Orange, which is about what I expected given where the two teams stand in SP+. Take out 2.5 points for home field and there’s not a lot of difference between them.
The Orange have wins over Liberty, Western Michigan, and Holy Cross but were smoked by Clemson and crushed 62-20 by Maryland. That Maryland performance is far worse than anything NC State’s done this season.
Syracuse’s offense hasn’t been as effective this season thanks to a decline in production on the ground, and the Orange have also seen their extremely fortunate turnover luck in 2018 regress back to normalcy. The Orange finished last season +13 in turnover margin—a +1 per-game average—and this year they are only +1 through five games.


NC State’s offense seems horrible, but what do advanced metrics say? (backingthepack.com; PW)

There’s a pretty widely held (agreed upon?) view that the NC State offense is severely limiting the potential success of the 2019 team as a whole. The offense certainly didn’t show up in the 31-13 loss at Florida State last weekend, and wasn’t exactly confidence-inspiring in the win over Ball State and the loss at West Virginia.

Essentially, since halftime of the WVU game, the offense hasn’t really been there. That’s half the season to-date.

But let’s put aside feelings, “eyeball tests”, and other sensory evaluations and instead look at how the offense (and the defense, too) is stacking up versus the rest of the ACC in more advanced metrics.

Our good friends over at Aggie Analytics (I mean, I’ve never met the folks... maybe they hate us; I have no idea, but they did the work and we’re thankful for that) have pulled together and crunched the numbers for us, so let’s take a look.

(Also, bless their hearts, but they definitely got the Atlantic and Coastal divisions confused... try not to jump on Twitter and point it out - they already know.)

Next up for the Wolfpack: Syracuse (SI; Fiedlander)

Here's an advance look at the next team on NC State's schedule

The NC State football team has had a week off to rest up, correct mistakes and decide on who its quarterback will be moving into the second half of the season.
As it prepares to find out if the time was well spent, here's a look at the Wolfpack's next opponent on what promises to be a festive Thursday night at Carter-Finley Stadium:
Opponent: Syracuse (3-2, 0-1 ACC)

When: Thursday, Oct. 10, 8 p.m.
Where: Carter-Finley Stadium (57,583)
TV: ESPN
Series record: State leads 10-2 (5-1 in Raleigh)
Last meeting: State won 33-25
Opponent's last game: Beat Holy Cross 41-3
Top players: Sophomore QB Tommy DiVito 106-167-5 1,234 yards, 11 TD
Senior RB Moe Neal 72 carries, 317 yards, 3 TD

Junior TE Aaron Hackett 12 catches, 101 yards, 3 TD
Senior LB Lakiem Williams 39 tackles, 3.5 sacks
Sophomore DB Andre Cisco, 17 tackles, 2 INT


Open date history under Doeren bodes well for Wolfpack (SI; Friedlander)

As long as the opponent isn't ACC Atlantic heavyweights Clemson or Florida State, that is

NC State's history under coach Dave Doeren in games following an open date suggests that the Wolfpack is in for a strong performance when it returns to the field at home against Syracuse on Thursday.
Although State's record in those games is only 4-4 overall, it is 4-1 when the opponent isn't either ACC Atlantic heavyweights Clemson or Florida State. One of the victories, in 2014, came against Syracuse.
Here's a look back at how the Wolfpack has fared since 2013 when it has had a week off to rest up and prepare:

2013

Clemson 26, State 14: This will always be remembered as the "Bryan Underwood Game," because the entire complexion of the game changed on a blown call involving the speedy wide receiver.
With the Wolfpack trailing 13-7 with 7:43 remaining in the third quarter, Underwood took a handoff from quarterback Pete Thomas on a jet sweep toward the near side of the field. Underwood got a great block from his tight end, turned the corner raced 83 yards for what appeared to be the go-ahead touchdown.
The play was called back, however, because an official trailing the play ruled that Underwood had stepped out of bounds near midfield. Despite replays that clearly showed Underwood staying in bounds the entire way, the play couldn't be reviewed because the official blew his whistle, automatically stopping play.
State didn't score on the possession. Clemson did on it next series and the Wolfpack never recovered.

Florida State 49, State 17: Unlike that earlier game, this one was over almost as soon as it started. The Seminoles jumped on the visiting Wolfpack for five touchdowns on their first 19 plays from scrimmage to build a 35-0 lead after just one quarter.
State outscored FSU 17-7 in the second half, but by that time the issue had long been decided.
2014

State 24, Syracuse 17: Pharoah McKever was a high school quarterback who was converted to a wide receiver upon arriving at State. On this day, however, he was playing defensive end. And the 6-foot-7 athlete found himself in the right place at the right time to save the Wolfpack.
With Syracuse leading 14-9 and driving for its third touchdown in as many possessions midway through the third quarter, McKever dropped back into coverage, used his height to leap into the air and pick off a pass. He then used his offensive skills to outrace the Orange 82 yards in the opposite direction for a touchdown that gave State its first lead of the day -- one it would hold onto the rest of the way.

State 37, UNC 7: The Wolfpack finished off the regular season in impressive style by unleashing a potent ground game and a suffocating defense that recorded four sacks and 10 tackles for loss.
State rushed for 388 yards in the win, the fourth-highest total in school history while its defense shut out a Tar Heel attack that ranked second in the ACC in scoring (36.7 ppg) and total offense (445.2 ypg) until a late window dressing touchdown. Of the 207 yards UNC managed in the game, 86 came on its final drive.

Extra point vs. Pittsburgh: Duke football's late comeback attempt spoiled in ACC home opener (dukechronicle; Fudge)

Duke lost in heartbreaking fashion to Pittsburgh on the 90th anniversary of the grand opening of what is now Wallace Wade Stadium, a 1929 contest that also ended in a defeat to the Panthers. The Blue Zone gives three key takeaways, stats, and looks forward for the Blue Devils:

Three Key Takeaways:
i.gif


1. Duke brought down to Earth
After a 35-point win at Virginia Tech, it seemed as if the Blue Devils could win it all. That may be a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the point: Duke actually looked like a good football team last week. That point isn’t actively being disputed, but the team’s performance against Pittsburgh does cast doubts over the legitimacy of this team. Duke's first half performance was atrocious, and before they knew it, the Blue Devils were in a 19-3 hole. Although head coach David Cutcliffe's squad picked it up in the second half, the Duke defense, surely exhausted from being on the field for a large portion of the game, was unable to stop Pittsburgh's game-winning drive with less than a minute left in the fourth quarter. The loss was heartbreaking, but it wasn’t the end of the world. The Blue Devils may have just earned another chip on their shoulders, just in time for the second half of the season.

2. Penalties determine game outcomes
On paper, Pittsburgh’s 145 penalty yards look much worse than Duke’s 60, but trust me, penalties brought a lot of suffering to the Blue Devils as well. On multiple occasions in the first half, what appeared to be a stalled Panthers offensive drive was rejuvenated due to a foolish Duke penalty. The renewal of such drives oftentimes gave Pittsburgh much better field position, which subsequently led to more ball movement and momentum. Had the Blue Devils been able to string together a few defensive stops without penalties in the first half, the game may have had a much different trajectory.

3. Trust the team’s past success
On his way out of the locker room after halftime, Cutcliffe was stopped by the ACC Network’s Katie George, who asked him what adjustments he had to make at the half. His answer was simple: to return to the style of football Duke had been playing the past few games. Despite the final score, the strategy worked. Quentin Harris’s performance as a passer improved, as did his ball security. The defense stopped committing foolish penalties. All in all, Duke’s performance in relation to that of Pittsburgh’s looked much better. In fact, it looked as if the Blue Devils would mount a comeback near the end of the game. Although they weren’t able to finish the job, they showed that their past successes happened for a reason. Moral of the story? If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

https://accsports.com/acc-news/ap-top-25-3-acc-teams-in-the-poll-wake-forest-up-to-no-19/ (accsports.com; Geisinger)

This was an interesting week of ACC Football — to put things mildly. However, all three of the league’s teams that landed inside the AP Top 25 poll were inactive this weekend. Once again, Clemson remains in the second slot, just behind Alabama. Wake Forest, which landed at No. 19, is ranked inside the top 20 for the first time since the 2008 season
  • No. 2 Clemson
  • No. 19 Wake Forest
  • No. 20 Virginia
Outside of those three teams, only one other ACC team received votes: Pittsburgh (2), which won on the road Saturday night at Duke.

POLL ALERT: Ohio State and Georgia now tied at No. 3 in Top 25 poll presented by @askRegions. Florida climbs to No. 7, Penn State into top 10; Baylor, Memphis, Cincinnati in.

UVA football ranked in AP Top 25 for the fifth straight week (wtkr.com; Plain)

For the fifth straight week, University of Virginia football is ranked in the AP Top-25 Poll.
After the bye week, the Cavaliers jump three spots to No. 20.

Only two other ACC teams, No. 2 Clemson and No. 19 Wake Forest, are ranked.

We’re back into the Top-20 in both polls after the BYE week.#GoHoos | #TheStandard

UVA travels to Miami for an 8 p.m. matchup this Friday, as they look to bounce back from a 35-20 loss to Notre Dame.

https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/college/acc/university-of-miami/article235852702.html (miamiherald.com; Degnan)

They were plenty ugly in their game two weeks ago against Central Michigan, but at least they won.
On Saturday the Miami Hurricanes couldn’t even do that against a downtrodden Virginia Tech that came in as 14-point underdogs and had lost six of their past seven games against Power 5 opponents before they knocked off the Hurricanes 42-35 in a game in which UM trailed 28-0 before the frenzied comeback attempt.

Who’s the quarterback? Where’s the running game? Where are the crucial defensive stops? Why do fans’ hearts skip a beat when the kicker attempts an extra point, let alone a field goal?

“It’s easy to look at us and say, ‘Oh, we’ve gone 2-3 and it’s not happening,’’ UM coach Manny Diaz said after the game. “But this is just a young team that is learning to get over the edge. Look at the three losses. What is it? Is it just that confidence, that thing that will make us do it? Then, when it happens and we continue to play with the effort and fight, look out.

“But no one wants to hear that right now, and I’m fine with that. We have enough issues. I’m not trying to paint some rosy future. That isn’t what matters right now, but there’s something worth fighting for in there.’’

Bottom line: UM must now prepare for fellow Coastal member Virginia (4-1, 2-0), which leads the division and has had an extra week to prepare for the Hurricanes in what will be another nationally televised home game at 8 p.m. Friday. With two losses in the ACC, the Canes likely cannot afford to lose any more league games and still have a fighting chance to win the conference.

And have the Hurricanes (2-3, 0-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) already lost the fan base?

The way the Canes fight back shows they have heart, but it’s puzzling why they don’t start a whole lot earlier against teams they are expected — or at least were expected — to dominate.

THE QUARTERBACK SITUATION
Most avid Hurricanes fans, or at least those entrenched in the program, were wondering if, and likely when, redshirt sophomore quarterback N’Kosi Perry would enter the transfer portal to find another home where he could start. Redshirt freshman Jarren Williams won the quarterback competition, and played very well until Saturday. But his deep throws have continually been underthrown, and three interceptions in the first quarter make one wonder how badly his throwing arm/shoulder is hurting, as ESPN reported it was told last week — or if he just mentally fell apart. With the protection as porous as it is, you figure he was fortunate to be sacked only once.

Takeaways: Carter Saves the Day, Defense Stands Strong in Pitt's Win Over Duke (pittsburghsportsnow.com; Northam)

The last time Pitt and Duke met on a football field, the final stats were eye-popping as the two sides combined for 99 points and more than 1,200 yards in Pittsburgh in 2018.

This time around, on Saturday night in Wallace Wade Stadium, the stats weren’t exactly something to brag about, but they explained the weirdness of an ACC Coastal clash. Between both teams there were 10 turnovers, 19 penalties called for 205 yards, an average of 4.65 yards per-pass on a combined 93 attempts and a third-down conversion rate of 40 percent.

On top of all of that, the winning team had a 23-point lead in the third quarter, totally blew it to trail by four points with 90 seconds to play, and then had their most efficient offensive drive of the game to win by three.
Indeed, Pitt’s 33-30 road victory over Duke was strange, improbable and – at times – just plain silly.

Some might say that the Panthers tried to shoot themselves in the foot, but that would be a massive understatement. Pat Narduzzi’s team attempted to set its legs ablaze and saw them off with a pocket knife. Luckily, Pitt failed. But for Pitt fans, much of this game – especially when the offense was on the field, and especially in the third and fourth quarters – was excruciating, frustrating and ridiculous.

But, hey, a win is a win.

“It’s an incredible win for our football team,” Narduzzi said. “Week by week our kids continue to show how much character they have as a football team in an ugly game… There have been a lot of weird ones. Last week was weird, but again, it just shows character.”

With the victory, Narduzzi is now 5-0 all-time against the Blue Devils. It was also the third straight game that Pitt won where they trailed at some point during the fourth quarter.

Carter saves the day

Pitt’s offense struggled for most of the day. Any long drives they had ended in field goals or turnovers, while their touchdowns were set-up by plays made by the defense or special teams.

Louisville football win over Boston College confirms complete cultural transformation (bigredlouie.com; Meyer)

Louisville football finished off an exciting back-and-forth contest against Boston College on Saturday by pulling off a program-defining victory.

For the first time since November of 2017, Louisville football has won an ACC game.

Under the direction of first-year head coach Scott Satterfield, the Cardinals capped off a thrilling game with a last-minute drive under a third-string true freshman quarterback with a game-sealing field goal from Blanton “Cold-Blooded” Creque.

On the BRL podcast, I joked with Card Chronicle Deputy Editor Keith Wynne that the Cardinals and Eagles might finish a game in under two and a half hours because of how effective each team was at running the ball. However, the first half alone lasted nearly two hours and featured 50 points and over 750 total yards of offense.
Instead of a rushing clinic, we saw two secondaries picked apart by four different quarterbacks.

In the end, it was Louisville who came out victorious. And regardless of circumstance, it is one of the bigger wins in the program’s recent history, as well as one of the biggest of Satterfield’s career.

Forget for a moment the good fortune that befell the Cardinals for once. Forget the AJ Dillon fumble early in the game at the goal line. Forget BC’s starting quarterback Anthony Brown went out with a gruesome injury midway through the game. Forget a Louisville fumble that would have sealed the game for the Eagles late that offensive lineman Tyler Haycraft fell on.

BC Football Four Downs: Louisville (ngscsports.com)

Postgame reactions tend to mirror final scores and results. Positive results yield happier analysis, but losses have a way of crystallizing questions of a team’s performance. It’s a byproduct of the way sports toy with human emotions, and it creates the oft-mentioned, year-to-year rollercoaster.

Boston College lost to Louisville, 41-39, in a Saturday shootout, dropping the team to a 3-3, .500 record at the halfway point of the season. It was the second consecutive loss by three points or less and the second consecutive conference loss. Both times, BC rode the game to the wire, but the final score’s shortfall leaves a bitter taste as the team enters a bye week.

“These two teams battled the hell out of each other,” head coach Steve Addazio said. “When you have those games, when you win the game, everything will be nice. When you (lose), you overlook everything else, (asking) what about this and what about this.”

This particular loss created a number of different questions for the team to answer in the coming weeks. Quarterback Anthony Brown left the game due to injury in the second quarter. The team improved statistically on third downs on offense but still struggled to get off the field on defense, surrendering a program-record 664 yards. It took a lead late in the fourth quarter but once again watched an opponent come up with the right play at the right time.

By nature, these questions beg for an immediate answer, but the truth is that the team still has half of a season to move forward. Correcting mistakes isn’t an overnight process because it requires coaching, teaching, and future improvement. There is still plenty of football left in this season, and the perceived weaknesses over the last two weeks can be fixed moving forward.

They aren’t mistakes so much as they are opportunities for growth. There is a cohesion to this team, and this week begins the process of moving forward to create a memorable second half of the year.

“I’d much rather get on the video, correct it, and work with it as we would do whether we win a game or if we lose a game,” Addazio said. “We’ve been in this a long time (with) the old saying, ‘steady the boat.’ We’ve got a talented team, and I like to be around this football team. I told them, ‘I’m proud to be your coach.’ They’ve got an unbelievable will. I’m energized to say we can get back to work, keep growing, keep molding and keep building this football team.

Around the ACC: Week 6 Recap (fromtherumbleseat.com; Tankersley)

Boston College - 39 | Louisville - 41
I’m not sure how many times Boston College has been in a shootout in the last several years, but I’m going to guess that it’s a very low number. This one ended up being a lot of fun, though! This game featured over 1,200 yards of offense, believe it or not. BC starting QB Anthony Brown went down pretty early with a non-contact injury. Dennis Grossel played admirably in his place, finishing with three touchdown passes. With a field goal with just over a minute left to play, the Louisville defense was able to hold the Eagles offense long enough to get away with the win.
Boston College is on bye this week. Louisville plays again this week at Wake Forest.

Virginia Tech - 42 | Miami - 35
This one was another one that ended up being a lot of fun, especially given just the 21-0 lead Virginia Tech had after the first quarter. Miami was able to make it a game after pulling freshman QB Jarren Williams, who threw three picks today, in favor of N’Kosi Perry. Perry helped the Canes fight back, passing for 422 yards and four touchdowns. Deejay Dallas also had a couple big plays. Hendon Hooker, who made his first career start for the Hokies, was able to lead them to victory, though, with some help from a goal line stand from the defense.

Virginia Tech plays again this week against Rhode Island. Miami plays again this week against Virginia.

North Carolina - 38 | Georgia Tech - 22
I don’t want to talk about it. Sam Howell had a career game as the Tar Heels ran nearly twice as many plays as Tech did. It wasn’t fun.

North Carolina is on bye this week. Georgia Tech plays again this week against Duke.

Pittsburgh - 33 | Duke - 30
Well this was certainly a game to remember. After the near-loss to Delaware last week, Pitt came back and made a statement, knocking Duke off after they managed a 20-point fourth quarter. This was certainly a messy game, as the teams combined for 10 turnovers. This game also provided some...um interesting moments, like when Duke did a reverse pass and promptly through an interception. Duke also ran a midline for a touchdown from the flexbone. I guess ol’ Cutcliffe learned a few tricks from his old buddy, Paul Johnson.

2019 ACC OL Woes (RX; HM)

2019 ACC OL Woes

According to PickSixPreviews, the ACC has some of the best and worst pass blocking lines...
Worst OL Sack Rates:

16% Minnesota
14% Georgia Tech
14% Louisville
14% Miami
13% Cal
13% UNC
11% Nebraska
10% FSU https://t.co/rTky0wBlD3
— Pick Six Previews (@PickSixPreviews) October 3, 2019
Among the best pass protectors in terms of percent sacks:
Duke (1%), BC (2%), Clemson (3%), NC State (3%) and Wake Forest (3.5%).

Among the worst:
Georgia Tech (14%), Louisville (14%), Miami (14%), UNC (13%) and FSU (10%).

I guess that means Syracuse, Pitt, Virginia and Virginia Tech fall in the middle.

No wonder ACC offenses have been struggling - they can't protect the passer!
...and unless you run the triple option (ahem, GT), you won't be able to run effectively if there's no threat of the pass.

Who Helped by Losing - 10/6/19

Who helped the ACC (potentially) by losing?

#7 Auburn lost at #10 Florida 13-24 (but since it was to an SEC team they probably want fall far, right?)

#14 Iowa lost at #19 Michigan 3-10 (who only scores 3 anymore?)

#15 Washington lost at Stanford 13-23 (this is why the Pac-12 can't have nice things!)

#21 Oklahoma State lost at Texas Tech 35-45

#25 Michigan State was whipped at #4 Ohio State 10-34

Schadenfreude

On a day when Louisville won its first ACC contest under new head coach Scott Satterfield, the Purdue Boilermakers continued to lose for the coach who spurned his alma mater, Jeff Brohm.

That must feel pretty good, huh?

Banner Society had this to say about ACC football this weekend:

The conference of the week. The following happened:
  • Miami turned the ball over on its first four possessions (three interceptions, a pulled starting quarterback, and a fumble) and was down 28-0 to Virginia Tech with six seconds to go in the first half. They then hit a Hail Mary, came all the way back to tie the game at 35 in the fourth quarter with three touchdowns in about three minutes, and lost.
  • Puke-and-rally Pitt blew a 23-point lead to Duke before springing a four-play, 82-yard, final-minute victory drive.
  • Boston College and Louisville combined for 1,227 and 80 points in a game that came down to a last-second fourth-down stop by the Cardinals.
  • And the only “normal” game was coached by ... 68-year-old Mack Brown.

HGTV show to feature ‘lottery dream home’ in Cicero (PS; Herbert)


An HGTV star was spotted in Central New York last month, and a realtor has confirmed he was in town to film scenes for a TV show.

Real estate agent Erica Laquidara revealed on Facebook that HGTV host and designer David Bromstad used a property for sale in Cicero for an upcoming episode of “My Lottery Dream Home." The real estate reality TV show helps lottery winners find their dream homes, showing them three houses.

Laquidara tells Big Frog 104 that she was the agent for a buyer that bought the Cicero home -- but it wasn’t the lottery winner. HGTV contacted the seller to feature the home on the show, but they didn’t believe it was true.
“The seller actually thought it was a joke,” Laquidara told the Utica radio station. “But they showed up.”
Laquidara posted photos on Facebook showing Bromstad and a film crew at the property. She doesn’t know who the lottery winner was or why they didn’t choose the Cicero house, but said the new owner -- Crystal Ritter of Mattydale -- is “super excited to see the show and see the house she purchased on TV.”

**Welcome to Central New York, HGTV!!** Shout out to my super awesome buyer Crystal, who is the future owner of this...
Posted by Erica Laquidara - Licensed Realtor, Hunt Real Estate ERA on Friday, September 20, 2019
Ritter is expected to be fully settled in to the new home by the time the episode airs sometime in January.
Rumors Bromstad was filming in CNY first emerged last month when he was seen visiting Beak & Skiff Apple Orchards in LaFayette. He posted photos and videos of himself on Instagram enjoying apple-picking and other offerings, from apple cider and doughnuts to its alcohol brand, 1911 Established.
