You can take the divisions out of the ACC, but you can’t take the craziness. Let’s take a brief swing through just what exactly this league gave us on this glorious October Saturday.
We’ll start with Pitt and Wake Forest. Shortly before the game, it was announced that Wake’s QB3 Santino Marucci would get the nod to start. They played a back-and-forth contest. Up three, there was only one thing left for Pitt QB Chris Veilleux to do: get a first down to polish the game off on third down when Wake lost contain. He did that.

Bryan Abreu’s pitch to Texas Rangers’ outfielder Adolis Garcia was just a bit inside, as Bob Uecker might have said. And high.
The Astros pitcher’s 99 mph fastball sailed very high and way inside and hit Garcia on the left arm in the bottom of the eighth inning in game five of the American League Championship Series Friday night.
