After a wild week one, the ACC entered week two with just one marquee game. Pittsburgh had a home upset against Tennessee, but the rest of the league didn’t have the kind of challenge the Panthers faced.
The league got off to a good start Friday night after Louisville took down UCF on the road. So how does the rest of the ACC look this weekend?
Let’s take a look at this week’s ACC scoreboard and results.
Friday
Louisville quarterback Malik Cunningham led Louisville to victory on Friday.

Louisville 20, UCF 14
It wasn’t pretty for the Cardinals, but they bounced back from an ugly showing against Syracuse with a road win. Quarterback Malik Cunningham led the way, but it was the Cardinal’s defense that got the win. Cornerback Jarvis Brownlee got a key change and Louisville will now prepare for a big game against Florida State.
Saturday
Miami 30, Southern Miss 7
Miami got off to a slow start, but was able to take down Southern Miss at home and avoid an embarrassing loss. The running game was once again fantastic for Miami as Henry Parrish continued to make great strides and the Miami defense shut down the Golden Eagles. This weekend’s game against Texas A&M has lost some of its luster, but Miami better be ready.
Clemson 35, Furman 12
It was another easy win for Clemson and quarterback DJ Yougalley went 21-27 for 231 yards and two touchdowns. Will Shipley threw in another two touchdowns and the Tigers will have another easy week against Louisiana Tech next week.
Pittsburgh 27, Tennessee 34 (OT)
Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker led the Volunteers to a road win.

One of the most anticipated games of the day saw Tennessee go on the road and beat the defending ACC champions in overtime. The bad news for the Panthers is that quarterback Kedon Slovis is out with an injury and is playing well. His backup, Nick Patty, hasn’t played well, and Pittsburgh could be in trouble if Slovis is out for any length of time.
NC State 55, Charleston South 3
NC State is coming off a scare against East Carolina with a win over Charleston Southern on Saturday and faces a red-hot Texas Tech team coming off a big win over Houston next week.
Wake Forest 45, Vanderbilt 25
This game featured the return of star running back Sam Hartman and he didn’t let up, throwing for 300 yards and four touchdowns. Wide receiver AT Perry had a great game with 142 yards and Wake Forest should get another win against Liberty before a big game against Clemson next week.
Duke 31, Northwestern 23
Duke went on the road and got a big win against Northwestern
Patrick Gorski-America Today Sports
What about the blue devils? Going on the road and winning as the underdogs at Northwestern and starting the Mike Elko era 2-0. Duke can get to 4-0 with wins over NC A&T and Kansas in the coming weeks. What a job Elko had the Blue Devils play better than at any point last year.
North Carolina 35, Georgia State 28
It was another close call for the Tar Heels, but they got another road win over a Sun Belt team that looks like a big accomplishment given the conference’s results yesterday. Drake Maye was great again, going 19-24 for 284 yards and two touchdowns. North Carolina now has a week before Notre Dame comes to Chapel Hill.
Virginia 3, Illinois 24
It was not a good road trip for Virginia as they were soundly beaten by Illinois. Chase Brown and the Illini running attack have been unable to stop it and this once solid offense has looked very pedestrian for two weeks without quarterback Brennan Armstrong. A game against Old Dominion next week is an easy one for Virginia.
Syracuse 48, UConn 14
Syracuse quarterback Garrett Schrader is off to a great start in 2022.

Like Duke, Syracuse was a team that came into the year with low expectations, but they are 2-0 and have a big game on the docket against Purdue. Garrett Schrader has been great at quarterback and the defense is playing well. Head coach Dino Babers needed a big season and so far he has.
Virginia Tech 27, Boston College 10
After losing to Old Dominion last week, Virginia Tech returned home and got a big win against Boston College. The defense played well and now Virginia Tech has their first ACC win under head coach Brent Pry. It’s now an 0-2 start for Boston College and making the ballgame doesn’t look like much of a possibility for Jeff Hafley and the Eagles. Boston College should get its first win against Maine when Virginia Tech plays Wofford next week.
