ACC announces game times, TV designations for Week 5

The ACC on Monday released the television schedules and networks for the slate of games on Oct. 2 — Week 5 of ACC football action — which will kick off as early as Thursday night on Sept. 30.

The time of opening kickoff, as well as the networks on which each game will be broadcasted, is listed below in order of start time. Times are displayed in Eastern Standard Time.

Virginia at Miami, 7:30 p.m. on ESPN (Thursday, Sept. 30)

Miami sits at a disappointing 1-2, with a chance to set their record back to .500 against Central Connecticut this week, before hosting Virginia next week. The 2-1 Cavaliers looked great their first two games, but allowed 59 points to Sam Howell and the UNC Tar Heels last week.

Duke at North Carolina, 12:00 p.m. on ESPN2

Duke pulled off a huge win over Northwestern this past weekend, solidifying a 2-1 record heading into another nonconference game with Kansas. The rivalry matchup with North Carolina will be Duke’s first ACC game of the year.

Pittsburgh at Georgia Tech, 12:00 p.m. on ACC Network

Georgia Tech played Clemson close this past week, losing just 14-8 — with two upcoming conference games against UNC and Pittsburgh, it’s time to see whether that game was an indication of Clemson’s struggles or Georgia Tech’s talent.

Louisville at Wake Forest, 12:30 p.m. on RSN

Louisville an away game at Florida State with a 2-1 record, a win over UCF and its only loss coming against highly-ranked Ole MIss. Wake Forest should have its hands full.

Syracuse at Florida State, 3:30 p.m. on ACC Network

Florida State is off to an abysmal 0-3 start, having lost to Jacksonville State and Wake Forest after a near-miraculous upset over Notre Dame in Week 1. Losing to Syracuse would only make things worse.

Louisiana Tech at NC State, 6:00 p.m. on ACC Network Extra and ESPN+

NC State is 2-1 but hosts No. 9 Clemson this week. If this week’s matchup ends in the blowout its projected, NC State will have a chance to bounce back at home against Louisiana Tech.

Boston College at Clemson, 7:30 p.m. on ACC Network

Boston College is off to a 3-0 start, but it has yet to play an opponent any better than the meager Temple team it faced last week. Next up, the Eagles have Missouri and Clemson in back-to-back weeks, a tall task for the unproven program.
