I was not able to post a summary for last week, due to the fact
that I was too busy this week.

With Clemson's upset of Virginia and Wake's stunning win over 
Vanderbilt, I was 4-2 last week to bring my record to 28-5.

A couple of notes, however. I was surprised at the margin of victory
in Duke's rout of East Carolina (Final was 45-14) and the closeness of
the Ga. Tech-Maryland game (which GT won, 28-26). Florida State and
NC State won easily over North Carolina and Texas Tech as expected.
As far as the Clemson-UVa game, I'm still pretty much in shock.

10/17/92 Games and Predictions
------------------------------

DUKE AT CLEMSON: Clemson may have salvaged their season with a stunning
comback win over Virginia last week. Louis Solomon will start at 
Quarterback in place of Richard Moncrief, who has been less than
impressive so far this season. The Tigers should be able to run all
over Duke. Clemson 35 Duke 21

FLORIDA STATE AT GEORGIA TECH: Georgia Tech had a surprisingly close
game against Maryland last week. At home in Atlanta, they should be able
to give the Seminoles a good game. This one should be a relatively 
low scoring game, dominated by defense. In the end, however, I think
FSU is too deep and too fast to lose to Georgia Tech.
Florida State 24 Georgia Tech 16

WAKE FOREST AT MARYLAND: At last, time for Maryland to win an ACC
game. Wake blew out Vanderbilt 40-6 last week, which was surprising.
This one may be close, but the Terrapins know this is one of their
few chances for a conference win and they are at home.
Maryland 34 Wake Forest 27

VIRGINIA AT NORTH CAROLINA: Virginia has a horrible defense against
the run, which we all saw last Saturday. Bobby Goodman has not played
well the past 2 games and Terry Kirby is out for 3 weeks. (So he will
probably miss the Florida State game also). Charles Way will fill in
at running back, but Kirby is also one of UVa's leading recievers.
Fortunatly for the Cavaliers, UNC's defense isn't as good as Clemson's.
UVa should be able to beat the Tar Heels, but this one will go down to
the wire. Virginia 24 North Carolina 23

NORTH CAROLINA STATE AT VIRGINIA TECH: NC State's defense should have
no problem stopping Tech's young, mistake prone offense. Even if the
Wolfpack offense isn't able to put up big numbers Saturday, they should
have no problems with the Hokies. NC State 27 Virginia Tech 10.
