9/12/92 Games and Predictions
-----------------------------

VIRGINIA AT NAVY:  Cakewalk #1 on the schedule for the 'Hoos. They looked
pretty sloppy starting off against Maryland, but once Goodman got
going, things looked OK. Virginia needs a tune up before hosting
Georgia Tech next weekend. 
Virginia 30 Navy 14

FLORIDA STATE AT CLEMSON: Defintely the game of the week and it
may decide the conference champion early on. I think Clemson will be
very fired up to prove that FSU is not going to come into the ACC
and roll over them. FSU won by 27 points last week, but there were some 
disturbing signs such as Charlie Ward's 4 interceptions and the fact that 
Duke could score 21 points against FSU's defense. Clemson had a tougher
game than expected, but pulled everything together to win. On a hunch...
Clemson 17 Florida State 16
 
DUKE AT VANDERBILT: I confess I don't know very much about Vandy. Duke
was expected to be pretty bad this year, but they played solid against
Florida State. I tend to think this is the result of being fired up 
to play a top-10 team and that was probably the best they can do.
I'll give Vanderbilt the edge because of the home field.
Vanderbilt 27 Duke 24

WESTERN CAROLINA AT GEORGIA TECH: Georgia Tech's opener - this will be
the first chance to see what Bill Lewis has done with the squad. Shawn
Jones returns as the starting QB, but Tech has lots of other holes to
fill. This week should be no problem - a warm-up for next week's game
in Charlottesville. 
Georgia Tech 24 Western Carolina 10

NORTH CAROLINA STATE AT MARYLAND: NC State's defense should be too tough
for Maryland's run-and-shoot offense. State is playing solid football
right now with a win against a I-AA opponent last week. The only thing
that could hurt the Pack is if they get caught looking ahead to
Florida State next week. 
NC State 21 Maryland 7 

FURMAN AT NORTH CAROLINA:  The first of 2 easy games for the Tar Heels,
with Army visiting next week. UNC was impressive in their opener against
Wake Forest and they appear to be much improved this year, as everyone
expected.
North Carolina 24 Furman 14

APPALACHIAN STATE AT WAKE FOREST: This is one of Wake's few chances for
a win this season. Appalachaian State is a pretty good team though and
should give the Demon Deacons a tough game.
Wake Forest 17 Appalachian State 12
