.889 - The career fi eld goal percentage of Miami PK Matt Bosher, which is the best of any returning player in the NCAA’s Football Bowl Subdivision. In all, Bosher, on the watch list for the Lou Groza Award for the second straight year, has made 32 of 36 career FG attempts, including his last 12 in a row, as well as all 90 of his career PATs.

First - For the fi rst time in the ACC’s 58-year history, the league had fi ve teams ranked among the nation’s Top 20 in the annual Associated Press preseason football poll. The ACC has had fi ve teams in the Top 25 on two previous occasions, but never fi ve in the Top 20. Virginia Tech (10) led the way for the ACC in this year’s AP preseason poll, followed by Miami (13), Georgia Tech (16), North Carolina (18) and Florida State (20).

No. 1 - For the fi fth consecutive year the Atlantic Coast Conference led the nation in the NCAA’s graduation success rate (GSR), with a 72.33 average. Duke lad all FBS schools with a graduation rate of 96 percent for its football classes which began school during the 1999 through 2002 seasons.

It is the fi rst such honor for UM, but the 20th time a current ACC school has led the nation in its football graduation rate.

2 - The number of ACC quarterbacks drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the 2010 MLB Draft. The Rockies chose Clemson’s Kyle Parker in the fi rst round and NC State’s Russell Wilson in the 4th round.

56 - The number of touchdowns NC State junior quarterback Russell Wilson has been responsble for in his fi rst two seasons which puts him in 16th place on the all-time ACC list, just one behind 15th-place Ben Bennett of Duke.

Virginia Tech’s Frank Beamer 2nd Among NCAA Coaching Leaders

Virginia Tech Head Football Coach Frank Beamer enters the 2010 season tied for second-place among all active NCAA football coaches in career victories. Beamer, who has 229 triumphs in his 29-year coaching career, is tied for second with Ohio State’s Jim Tres-

sell. Penn State’s Joe Pa-terno, who has 394 career wins, is the NCAA all-time leader, as well as its active

leader. Florida State’s Bobby Bowden, who re-tired last year, fi nished his career in 2nd place on the all-time list with 389 victories, though the NCAA recognizes only 377 triumphs. Beamer is also currently tied with Tressel for 12th place on the NCAA all-time FBS win list. Just ahead of them are some of the legends of the college coaching profession including Haden Fry of Iowa (232), Bo Schembechler of Michigan (234) and Woody Hayes of Ohio State (238).

Georgia Tech’s Johnson In Select Company As ACC Head Coach

Georgia Tech Head Coach Paul Johnson is in select company, record-wise, after two seasons as the Jackets’ gridiron leader. Through the 2009 season, Johnson’s team

posted an 11-3 record--Tech’s most wins since its 1990 National Championship season--which, combined with last year’s totals, gives

him an overall 20-7 record as a head coach, and an impressive .741 winning percentage. Only eight other ACC Head Coaches have had a higher winning percentage in their fi rst two years in the ACC including former Florida State head coach Bobby Bowden (.920), Maryland head coach Ralph Friedgen (.8077) and Virginia Tech Head Coach Frank Beamer (.8076) and only one--Bowden--won more games in his fi rst two seasons.

Among Top 20 Coaches in Wins Per Season

Cutcliffe, Foster, Friedgen, Shannon Are Former

Broyles Award WinnersThe ACC can boast of no fewer than four previ-ous winners of the Frank Broyles Award--given annually to the nation’s top football assistant coach--who are currently coaching in the Conference. That’s an impressive amount con-

sidering only 14 Bro-yles award-winners have been named. Currently past Broyles honorees David Cut-cliffe (Duke), Ralph Friedgen (Maryland) and Randy Shan-non (Miami) are head coaches in the ACC, while Bud Foster is Virginia Tech’s defen-sive coordinator. The

ACC actually has had fi ve of the 14 coaches named, as former Florida State defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews, who retired this past year, was also a Broyles Award win-ner. Broyles also has strong ties to a current ACC school, having played both football and basketball at Georgia Tech and served as of-fensive coordinator to Tech’s legendary Head Coach Bobby Dodd.

The ACC has four coaches who rank among the Top 30 active football coaches in the NCAA in wins per season with fi ve or more seasons as a head coach. Geor-gia Tech’s Paul Johnson leads the way among ACC coaches, currently averaging 9.77 wins per season, including a two-year average in the ACC of 10 victories a year. Johnson’s record puts him fourth nationally among active head coaches with fi ve or more years of experience. Virginia Tech’s Frank Beamer (19th, 7.9), North Carolina’s Butch Davis (20th, 7.89) and Maryland’s Ralph Friedgen 27th, 7.33) all rank among the Top 30 coaches in the nation in the NCAA’s FBS. Virginia’s new head coach Mike London has had an impressive start to his career, averaging 12 wins a season in his fi rst two years as a head coach at FCS member Richmond.

NC State’s Tom O’Brien Latest To Coach at Two ACC Schools

NC State Head Coach Tom O’Brien is the fi fth coach in Atlantic Coast Conference history to have served as a Head Football Coach of two ACC schools. O’Brien coached at Boston College from 1997 through 2006, the fi nal two seasons (2005-2006) after the Eagles had joined the ACC. Jim Tatum was the fi rst ACC coach at two schools, at Maryland from 1947-55 and at North Caro-lina beginning in 1956 until his death in 1958. Others who have coached at two ACC schools include Bobby Ross (Md, GT), Al Groh (WF, UVa) and Bill Dooley (UNC, WF). Dooley actually coached at three current ACC schools as he spent nine seasons at Virginia Tech before the Hokies joined the ACC, in between stints at UNC and Wake Forest, winning 162 games in his career. Dooley and Ross are the only coaches in ACC history to be named ACC Coach of the Year at more than one school. Others who have coached at more than one current ACC school, though not necessarily when they were in the ACC, include John Heisman, who coached at both Georgia Tech and Clemson.

Friedgen, Shannon, Beamer Are Coaching At Their Alma Maters The ACC currently has three head coaches who are coaching at the school from which they graduated. Maryland’s Ralph Friedgen, Miami’s Randy Shannon and Virginia Tech’s Frank Beamer are all heading the programs where they once played as collegians. Friedgen earned letters as an offensive guard for the Terrapins in 1966 and 1968. Shannon starred as a linebacker for the Hurricanes, lettering in 1986, 1987 and 1988, and helped lead Miami to the 1987 National Championship. Beamer started three seasons at cornerback for the Hokies and was a cornerstone on Virginia Tech teams which earned bids to the 1966 and 1968 Liberty Bowls. One other ACC Head Coach is also an ACC graduate in Wake Forest Head Coach Jim Grobe. Grobe, though graduated from Virginia, where he was a two-year starter for the Cavaliers. Grobe was actually named ACC Rookie of the Week in 1973 and he was named to the All-ACC Academic Football Team in 1974. Additionally, four ACC graduates who are former head coaches and are currently serv-ing as assistant coaches in the league in Virginia Tech’s Mike O’Cain (Clemson ‘77--NC State), Georgia Tech’s Al Groh (Virginia ‘67--Wake Forest, Virginia) and Mike Sewak (Virginia ‘81--Georgia Southern), and NC State’s Mike Archer (Miami ‘76--LSU)

Virginia Tech’s Defense No. 1 Since 2004

Over the last six years no team in the NCAA’s Football Bowl Subdivision has played better defense more consistently than Virginia Tech. During that time, the Hokies “D,” coordinated by Bud Foster

has allowed its oppo-nents an average of just 268.33 yards per game which covers a span of

80 games. During that time, Virginia Tech has posted a 62-18 record, a .775 winning percentage and has claimed three Atlantic Coast Conference Football titles for Head Coach Frank Beamer.

Tar Heel Defense: One of the Nation’s Best

North Carolina’s defense led the ACC and was ranked 6th nationally this year in total defense, allowing its opponents just 269.6 yard per game. But looking inside the numbers as to how UNC’s defense limited

its opponents to signifi cantly below their season averages, the result is impressive. In 2009 the Tar Heels held their 13 opponents to an average

of 94.04 yards per game below their total offense averages for the season. Coach Butch Davis’ defense also allowed UNC’s foes 53.23 yards less than their normal gain on the ground or -35.5 percent less than normal. In all, the Tar Heels held their 13 opponents 25.8 percent below their normal offensive outputs for the year.

Noting ACC FootballACC’s Labor Day Monday Telecast

Is a Ratings Hit for ESPNDuring its brief history, the ACC’s Labor Day Monday night has been a huge ratings hit with either ABC or ESPN, which have televised the game fi ve times. The initial

Miami-FSU matchup in 2004 featured a 5.9 rating on ABC. One year later, the network enjoyed a 6.5 mark. In 2006, in the rivalries’ fi rst appearance on ESPN, the cable network put the broadcast on all of its channels --named a “Full Circle telecast”--thus creating a 7.6 cumulative rating. Last year’s game followed in that tradition as Miami and FSU drew a sterling 5.89 rating for the 38-34 Miami victory. That made last year’s FSU-Miami game, with over 8.4 mil-

lion viewers, ESPN’s third most-viewed regular season college football game ever (at the time it was the second most-viewed game) behind only the 2006 FSU-Miami game. This year, Virginia Tech, ranked 6th nationally, makes its fi rst appearance on Labor Day Monday night, meeting 4th-ranked Boise State in the Labor Day Monday night contest with an 8 p.m. kickoff at FedEx Field in Landover, Md.Year Result .......................................

The third most-viewed regular season game for ESPN was last year’s FSU-Miami game which drew a 5.89 rating and had more than 8.4 million fans tuning in. Fourth on the list, and only the second non-ACC game, was the 2006 Louisville-West Virginia Thursday night contest which matched the nation’s No. 3 and No. 5-ranked teams. Completing the top seven was the 2008 Miami versus Florida game, which drew 4.88 million households; the 1994 Florida State-Miami match-up which drew 4.84 mil-lion households; and the 2007 Labor Day Monday night match-up between Clemson and FSU which drew 4.84 million house-holds.

National Football Foundation and Hall of Fame to Induct

Duke’s Clarkston Hines and the late Dennis Byrd of NC State

The National Football Foundation and Col-lege Hall of Fame has selected two members of Atlantic Coast Conference schools--Duke wide receiver Clarkston Hines and the late

Dennis Byrd of NC State to be inducted into the NFF’s College Football Hall of Fame. Byrd, who learned of the honor in May, passed away this past July 22 after suf-fering a heart attack and will be honored posthu-

mously. The induction will take place at the annual NFFHOF Hall of Fame banquet at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City on Tuesday, December 7. The only player in ACC History to lead the league in receiving yards three consecutive seasons, Clarkston Hines holds the ACC re-cord for career touchdown receptions (38). A two-time First Team All-American, Hines was named ACC Athlete of the Year in 1989. He currently holds ten different receiving records at Duke including career receiving yards (3,318) and consecutive 100- yard re-ceiving games (7). In 1989, he was named ACC Player of the Year en route to leading the Blue Devils to the ACC Championship. He was a three-time fi rst team All-ACC member and led the ACC in scoring in 1989 (104). Hines holds the ACC single-season touch-down reception record (17) and 100-yard receiving games (17). Hines graduated as Duke’s all time leader in points scored (234). He also received the Duke University Distin-guished Service Award in 1989. Hines’ on-campus salute will take place on the week-end of Nov. 6 when Duke hosts Virginia. The fi rst player in Atlantic Coast Confer-ence history to be named a three-time All-ACC selection, North Carolina State’s Dennis Byrd is the fourth Wolfpack player inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. Twice named a fi rst team All-America, Byrd was the fi rst NC State player ever to garner consen-sus All-America honors. As a member of the Wolfpack’s famed “White Shoes” defense, he led NC State to a share of the 1965 ACC ti-tle en route to earning the school’s fi rst-ever post-season appearance, defeating Georgia in the 1967 Liberty Bowl. He is the only NC State defensive player to have had his jersey retired. Byrd’s on-campus salute from the National Football Foundation will take place at the Wolfpack’s season-opening game on Sept. 4 against Western Carolina. Over the past fi ve years no fewer than 13 former standouts from current ACC schools have been voted into the National Football Foundation including Pat Swilling (Georgia Tech) and Gino Torretta (Miami) last year; Jim Dombrowski (Virginia), Ron Simmons (Florida State) and Lou Holtz (NC State) in 2008; Doug Flutie (Boston College) and Jeff Davis (Clemson) in 2007; and Florida State Head Coach Bobby Bowden, Charlie Ward (Florida State), Bruce Smith (Virginia Tech) and Bennie Blades (Miami) in 2006.

Georgia Tech’s Joshua Nesbitt, Virginia Tech’s Tyrod Taylor

Among ACC’s All-Time Leaders in QB Rushing

Georgia Tech’s Joshua Nesbitt and Vir-ginia Tech’s Tyrod Taylor, a pair of junior quarterbacks, are moving up the all-time leaders in ACC history in terms of rushing yardage for a quarterback. Both completed the 2009 season with over 1,500 rushing yards in their careers

and are now in the Con-ference’s career top ten list for rushing yardage. Clemson’s Woodrow Dantzler set the ACC re-

cord for most career rushing yards by a signal caller, running for 2,761 yards in four seasons (1998-2001). Nesbitt, who has run for 2,069 yards in his three seasons in the league, and cur-rently is in 2nd place on the all-time list, while Taylor, who has 1,537 career yards, is in 7th place. This season, Nesbitt totalled 1,037 yards in 14 games--bettering his own ca-reer high while recording the 2nd-best sin-gle season by an ACC quarterback. He is only the 2nd quarterback in ACC history to rush for 1,000 or more yards in a season. In 2008, Taylor recorded what was then the 5th-best single season for rush-

ing yards by a quarterback in ACC history, running for 738 yards, while Nesbitt had the 8th-best single sea-

son with 693 yards rushing in his fi rst sea-son as a starter.

ACC Leads The Way In QB’s Chosen For Prestigious O’Brien, Manning Watch Lists

Harris, Nesbitt, Ponder, Taylor, Wilson Chosen As Top QB’s In NationThe Atlantic Coast Conference had fi ve of its quarterbacks chosen for the pre-sea-son award watch lists for both the Davey

O’Brien Award and the Archie Manning Award both of which are pre-sented annually to the nation’s top quarter-back. No conference had more of its signal callers chosen for ei-ther list, though the Big 12 also had fi ve

QBs chosen for the O’Brien Watch and the WAC and Pac-10 had fi ve tabbed for the Manning Watch List. Additionally four ACC quarterbacks were chosen to the pre-season watch list for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, an honor which is

reserved each year for the nation’s top se-nior quarterback. Miami’s Jacory Harris, Georgia Tech’s Joshua Nesbitt,Florida State’s Christian Ponder, Virginia Tech’s Tyrod Tay-lor and NC State’s Rus-sell Wilson were all cho-sen for both the O’Brien and Man-ning lists. Harris and Wilson, both in just the junior seasons, were ineligible for the Unitas Award which tabbed Ponder, Nesbitt and Taylor for its preseason watch list along with North Carolina senior quarterback T.J. Yates.

Boston College tailback Montel Harris has run for more yardage in his freshman and sopho-

more seasons in the ACC than has any other running back in league history. Har-ris, who fi nished with 1,457 yards last year--the second-highest total in the confer-

ence only to Ryan Williams’ 1,655 yards, had 900 yards as a true freshman in 2008. His total of 2,357 eclipses the previous mark of 2,254 yards set 31 years previously by North Carolina’s Amos Lawrence.

In its 77-year history, the Orange Bowl has hosted 19 National Champions, 17 Heisman Trophy winners and in 1965 became the fi rst Bowl game to be played in prime time. The not-for-profi t organization now serves as a foundation of the South Florida community by hosting championship sporting events, re-lated premier entertainment and meaningful community-driven initiatives year-round to in-spire youth, engage families and make South Florida a better place. The Orange Bowl Festi-val attracts thousands of visitors to the South Florida community, and brought nearly $200 million in economic impact during the 2008-09 season, when the Orange Bowl Committee hosted both the Orange Bowl and BCS National Championship.

Seven ACC Football Student-Athletes Named to

Allstate/AFCA Good Works Team Seven ACC Football Student-athletes, led by Florida State quarterback Christian Ponder (Colleyville, Tex.), have been nom-inated for the 2010 Allstate/AFCA Good Works Team. The team honors the distin-guished group of college football players who stand out for the positive infl uence they have in their communities. The All-state Insurance Company and the Ameri-can Football Coaches Association (AFCA) announced the 112 student-athletes nomi-nated for the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team®. It is the most ever in the 19-year history of the award. In addition to Ponder, other ACC nomi-nees include Clemson junior offensive guard Mason Cloy (Columbia, S.C.), Duke senior center Bryan Morgan (Hoover, Ala.), Georgia Tech junior running back Roddy Jones (Stone Mountain, Ga.), North Carolina junior defensive end Robert Quinn (Ladson, S.C.), Virginia senior cor-nerback Ras-I Dowling and Virginia Tech junior wide receiver Danny Coale (Lexing-ton, Va.). In the areas of giving back and volun-teerism, the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team® represents the “best of the best” among more than 50,000 student-athletes participating in the sport at all four-year in-stitutions. The total eclipses the 106 nomi-nees achieved last season, demonstrating the continued growth of a platform that is widely recognized as the most prestigious community service award in college foot-ball. From the nominees submitted by sports information directors on behalf of their schools, a special voting panel consist-ing of former Good Works Team® mem-bers and prominent college football media members is responsible for selecting two 11-player Good Works Teams® – one comprising of players from the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision and another representing players from the NCAA Foot-ball Championship Subdivision, Divisions II, III, and the NAIA – to be announced in September. College Football Hall of Fame member and ESPN broadcaster Lou Holtz is returning for a third year to serve as spokesperson for the program and raise awareness for the stories of the nominees and team members.

BCS StandingsThe BCS Standings are composed of three elements that are weighted equally: the USA Today Coaches poll, 2) the Harris poll, and 3) the average of six computer poll rankings. The highest and lowest computer ranking is discarded each week with the computer average based on the remaining four rank-ings. The BCS Standiings are compiled and released by the National Football Foundation eight times during the season, beginning this year on Sunday, October 17 and ending on BCS Selection Sunday, December 5.

The Atlantic Coast Conference and the BCS

Heading into its 13th year of determin-ing the National Championship in college football, the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) is a fi ve-game arrangement that is designed to match the two top-rated teams and to create competitive match ups among eight other highly regarded teams in four other games. The bowl games participating are the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, the Orange Bowl, the Rose Bowl Game and the Allstate Sugar Bowl. In addition, the BCS National Cham-pionship Game is played at one of the bowl sites, this year in Glendale, Arizona on Janu-ary 10, 2011. The term “BCS conference” frequently is used incorrectly. Actually, all 11 NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) confer-ences are “BCS conferences” because the BCS arrangement is managed by the com-missioners of the 11 NCAA FBS conferences and the director of athletics at the University of Notre Dame. The conferences are the At-lantic Coast, the Big East, the Big Ten, the Big 12, Conference USA,the Mid-American, the Mountain West, the Sun Belt, the Pa-cifi c-10, the Southeastern and the Western Athletic. The conference commissioners and the Notre Dame athletics director make deci-sions regarding all BCS issues, in consul-tation with an athletics directors advisory group and subject to the approval of a presi-dential oversight committee whose mem-bers represent all 120 NCAA FBS programs. The BCS games are operated by com-munity-based organizations in each of the host cities. In addition, there are 29 other post-season bowls, which are managed in-dependently by entities in 26 cities around the nation. All bowl games provide mean-ingful season-ending opportunities for stu-dent-athletes. The BCS is remarkably successful. It maintains and enhances the importance of the regular season and preserves the unique bowl system. And it matches the top two teams. Before the creation of the BCS

Additionally, the highest-ranked champion of Conference USA, Mid-American, Mountain West, Sun Belt or Western Athletic conferences will be guaranteed a slot in BCS games if that team is ranked 12th or higher in the fi nal BCS standings, 16th or higher if its ranking is higher than that of a champion from one of the six conferences with automatic qualifi cation. Other teams are eligible to be selected at large by a bowl game if they fi nish among the top 14. The champions of the Big Ten and the Pac-10 will play in the Rose Bowl if they do not qualify for the National Championship Game. Other “regional consideration” tie-ins in-clude the SEC champion in the Sugar Bowl, the ACC champion in the Orange Bowl and the Big 12 champion in the Fiesta Bowl if those teams are not ranked No. 1 or No. 2 in the fi nal BCS Standings

and its predecessors, the Bowl Coalition and Bowl Alliance, the top two teams had met in a bowl game only eight times in the previous 56 seasons. They have met in each of the last 12 seasons by BCS standards , and 9 of the last 12 seasons according to the Associated Press poll. The 2010 regular season (2011 bowl games) is the fi rst year of the current four-year television agree-ment with ESPN, which will televise all fi ve BCS games. Six conferences (ACC, Big East, Big 12, Big Ten, SEC and Pac-10) have annual au-tomatic qualifi cation for the 2010-13 sea-

John SwoffordACC Commissioner

The Atlantic Coast Conference and its Commissioner, John Swofford, just successfully completed its second term co-ordinating the administration for the Bowl Championship Series (BCS). Swofford, who fi rst served as BCS Coordinator during the 2000 and 2001 seasons, is the only Commission-er to ever serve as BCS Coordinator twice. He is also the last Commissioner to serve as the Coordinator. In 2009, the BCS group named longtime college administrator Bill Hancock to serve as the fi rst Executive Director of the BCS. Hancock has asumed most of the duties previously handled by the coor-dinator. Previously Hancock has spent the past two years as Administrator for the BCS. John Swofford

The ACC and The Bowl Championship Series

Longtime athletics administrator Bill Hancock was named the fi rst Executive Director of the Bowl Championship Series on November 17, 2009 and, in doing so, achieved a unique double-double at the upper echelon of intercollegiate athletics. He was the first full-time director of the NCAA Final Four and is now the fi rst executive director of the BCS. Hancock served for 13 years as director of the NCAA’s Division I Men’s Basketball Championship--the three-week March Madness event that culminates at the Final Four. After a family tragedy, he retired in 2002 and for three years was the tournament’s media coordinator on a consulting basis before being named BCS administrator in October of 2005. He is a 1972 journalism graduate of the University of Oklahoma and worked in sports information at his alma mater and also on the staff of the Big Eight Conference before being named director of the Final Four in 1989.
