It was a slow day for Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson, who only mustered 387 yards of offense in a win over Wake Forest. This comes on the heels of three straight games with more than 400.

Still, what Watson’s doing is impressive. He’s now topped 380 yards in four straight and five of the last six (the lone exception because he was limited in a blowout of Miami). In the last decade, no other ACC quarterback has had more than three straight games with 380 yards or more of offense.

Only two players — Texas Tech’s Graham Harrell and Hawaii’s Colt Brennan — had more conference games with at least 385 yards of offense and a touchdown in a season. Only Baylor’s Robert Griffin III (5) had a streak of 385-yard/one-touchdown games against conference foes longer than Watson’s (4).

BC’s D is for real

Notre Dame managed just 127 yards on the ground against Boston College, its second-lowest total of the year and the first time it failed to rush for a touchdown. That’s no surprise.

Boston College is allowing 2.27 yards per rush, best in the nation and the lowest rate by any team since Texas in 2009 (2.21). Even factoring out sacks and FCS competition, the Eagles are allowing just 3.34 yards per carry, three-tenths of a yard less than the next closest team (Alabama), despite facing three teams that rank in the top 15 nationally in yards per carry and four 1,000-yard rushers.

Overall, BC’s defense is the only one in the country to allow fewer than 10 rushing touchdowns and 10 passing touchdowns, while compiling more than 30 sacks and 10 interceptions.

Peterman nearly flawless

Pitt’s Nate Peterman had four touchdown passes in Pitt’s win over Louisville, and in ACC play this season he’s accounted for 14 touchdowns and just one turnover (a fumble).

How crazy is that? In the last decade, only Ball State’s Nate Davis accounted for more passing touchdowns in conference play without an interception, and only Davis and Nevada’s Colin Kaepernick had as many passing TDs with no more than one turnover.

This season, the only other quarterbacks with at least 14 touchdowns of any sort in conference play and no more than one turnover are Navy’s Keenan Reynolds and Oklahoma State’s J.W. Walsh, who have a combined 70 passing attempts in conference play. Peterman has 184.

Cuse comparisons

QUARTERBACK A: 28 touchdowns, 13 turnovers

QUARTERBACK B: 24 touchdowns, 13 turnovers

That first line belongs to Ryan Nassib, who starred for Syracuse in 2012. The second is the combined numbers of Zack Mahoney and Eric Dungey this season.

Up in smoke

Taquan Mizzell had 104 yards and three touchdowns in a win over Duke. The Virginia tailback has 68 catches this year, most in the nation by a running back, and is second only to Dalvin Cook (1,682) in yards from scrimmage in the ACC this season (1,309).

Mizzell now has 638 rush yards, 671 receiving yards and four TDs both receiving and rushing. In the last decade, only two other Power 5 players had 600-600-4-4 numbers in a season: Boston College’s Andre Callender and Florida’s Percy Harvin.
