HUMP DAY LINKS

Via ESPN:

*Nobody -- not even Kendric Burney -- knew that when Burney gave up baseball to play football at UNC he would end up leading the Tar Heels in interceptions.

* It's an unfamiliar situation for Duke as the Blue Devils head into Miami on Saturday -- it's a must-win situation if Duke is going to go to a bowl game, and they'll face "skill, skill, skill."

* Georgia Tech could be without its starting center for the regular-season finale against Georgia.

* Maryland quarterback Chris Turner will miss his second straight game, but the Terps could get running back Da'Rel Scott back against Florida State.

* Miami could also get two key injured players back in Sean Spence and Ray Ray Armstrong.

* Clemson can't afford to overlook Virginia, especially since the Tigers haven't seen anything like this 3-4 defense yet.

* If Virginia wanted to fire Al Groh, it has the money for the buyout. How did Virginia's program unravel? Longtime Virginia writer Jerry Ratcliffe has some theories.

* NC State quarterback Russell Wilson will return to his home state and play in Lane Stadium for the first time.

* Duke's quarterback situation took a hit when backup Sean Renfree went down with a torn ACL against Georgia Tech. Can Thad Lewis, who is also banged up, stick it out the rest of the season?

* Andrew Carter of the Orlando Sentinel has a few more bowl predictions for you.

* Bobby Bowden wants to stay another year, but he might not have the choice.
