Riley Skinner threw for 349 yards and two TDs for the Demon Deacons (2-3, 4-5), but may have sustained a concussion with about 6½ minutes left and sat out the rest of the game.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Bert Reed's 3-yard touchdown run with 1:36 left lifted Florida State to a win over North Carolina State.
N.C. State took a brief 42-38 lead with 3:50 left when former Collegiate star Russell Wilson found Jarvis Williams for his third TD catch of the game. Wilson threw for 349 yards and a career-best five TDs for the struggling Wolfpack (0-4, 3-5).
Jermaine Thomas ran for a career-high 186 yards and a pair of touchdowns and freshman Chris Thompson scored twice on short runs for the Seminoles (2-3, 4-4).

Boston College 31, Central Michigan 10
BOSTON -- Former walk-on kicker Steve Aponavicius became Boston College's all-time scoring leader in the Eagles' victory.

Montel Harris finished with 136 yards rushing on 27 carries and two 3-yard scoring runs for the Eagles (6-3), who improved to 6-0 at home.

Clemson 49, Coastal Carolina 3
CLEMSON, S.C. -- Jacoby Ford caught a touchdown and threw for his first career score as Clemson (5-3) won its third straight game.
Clemson's win over the Chanticleers (3-5) puts them at 23-0 against Football Championship Subdivision teams.
Ford, the NCAA 60-meter indoor track champion, hauled in a 36-yard pass in the end zone for Clemson's first score, then followed with a toss of his own to a wide-open Xavier Dye on the Tigers next drive.
