Tony Logan Tracker: Post-Miami

For the first time all season, Maryland junior Tony Logan has fallen behind former Terrapin star Steve Suter's punt return yardage pace from 2002.

Logan had 52 return yards Saturday against Miami, a perfectly respectable weekly total. It just happened to coincide with a game Suter had 92 return yards.

The good news for Logan? Suter tailed off --- partially because of a lack of opportunities --- in his final four regular season games in 2002. Suter managed 102 return yards in the final month of that season, so Logan will have a decent chance to match Suter's 13-game total.

The bad news? Since Suter had 13 regular-season games, he'll have an extra game to work with unless Maryland regroups and makes it to the ACC title game. Overall, Logan needs 210 more yards to break Suter's record.

If Logan gets only four more games, he'll need to average 52.5 yards --- a virtual duplicate of Saturday's game --- to surpass Suter. If Maryland makes it to Charlotte, the average needed drops to 42 yards a game.

The Morning After: ACC Week 10 (Ten observations from around this week's action in the ACC) 1. The Atlantic Division is a free-for-all. But you knew that already after a day in which N.C. State, Maryland and Florida State all squandered fourth-quarter leads. The byproduct? Three teams with two league losses, plus the reinvigorated presence of Clemson in the conference race. Those four teams combined for seven more league games, including Clemson-Florida State next week. A Clemson win really throws some chaos into the situation. 2. Virginia Tech would need a meltdown not to make it to Charlotte. Yes, North Carolina and Miami are up next...

All 128 ACC Atlantic Division scenarios in one place With four teams and seven games still relevant to the ACC's Atlantic Division race, there are 128 scenarios that could come out of the division. (For those without much of a stats background, that number comes from taking two --- the number of outcomes possible --- to the seventh power, i.e. 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2). Anyway, this was a quirky project for a flight from Fort Lauderdale to Baltimore on the way back from the Maryland-Miami game. Needless to say, three pages of my notebook now look like Kryptonian symbols. Of...
