WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Theres a surprising three-way tie atop the ACCs Atlantic Division with No. 3 Louisville, No. 5 Clemson and Wake Forest -- yes, the Demon Deacons.Its still early in the season, of course, but the unranked and undefeated Demon Deacons (4-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) are off to their best start in a decade. Picked last in the leagues preseason poll, theyre savoring their status as a division co-leader while also keeping it in perspective.When asked about being a first-place team, linebacker Jaboree Williams cracked a smile Tuesday and said thats something that you know you can work with, definitely, echoing coach Dave Clawsons message.The coach-speak is, you always want to go 1-0 that week, but I think our players have really bought into that, Clawson said. Any group that is winning for the first time, they dont take it for granted. ... Their work ethic has been excellent, their preparation has been good, that attention to detail has never been better in our program, and I think our players have bought into the fact that those things do carry over to Saturday.Theyve already surpassed their win totals from both 2014 and 15, when they finished 3-9 in each of Dave Clawsons first two seasons. A victory over North Carolina State this weekend would give them their first 5-0 start since the 2006 team that captured a most unlikely league title and Orange Bowl berth.Obviously, when you start to win, you start to see these results. A lot of times its hard when you have a good week of practice and then at the end of the week, you lose, `Theyre telling me this, and were not seeing the results, quarterback John Wolford said. You cant always play perfect, but then you see the wins, you start to realize, and I think, for a lot of the younger guys especially, they start to feel that importance of practice and how its translating to wins on the football field.The next challenge comes from a North Carolina State team that won both meetings against Clawson-led Wake Forest squads by an average of 23+ points and is favored by 11+ points in this one.I feel at the end of the day it all comes down to what we do, because if we execute our plan (on defense), then we can really have a good game against them, Wolfpack safety Shawn Boone said. But its really all about us, to be honest.Even the most optimistic Wake Forest fan probably didnt see this coming -- especially after the opener.When the Demon Deacons began with a 7-3 win over Tulane, it looked like more of the same struggles were at hand for a team that had one of the nations worst offenses in 2014 and 15. Wake Forest managed just 175 total yards -- and 79 yards rushing -- in that victory.But after four games, thats looking more like an outlier: In the past three weeks, the Demon Deacons have averaged nearly 32 points, 240 yards rushing and 407 total yards.Thats quite a change. In recent years, a strong defense at times appeared to buckle under the pressure of carrying an offense that couldnt get anything going. Wake Forest ranked 114th nationally in total offense last year and dead last -- 128th -- in 2014.Ive said to the defense for two years that you are ahead, but you should be ahead, Clawson said. On offense, it was starting from scratch. ... It takes time to build an (offensive) line. Theres not a shortcut for that position, and when youre young and youre weak up front, its hard to really do anything.After not scoring more than 24 points in any game during Clawsons first two seasons, the Demon Deacons are coming off consecutive games of scoring in the 30s -- including a 33-28 win at Indiana in which the defense allowed 611 total yards but intercepted six passes.Its a good sign because were learning how to win games in other ways, Wolford said.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org [url=http://www.cowboysfootballgearshop.com/charles-haley-jersey/]Charles Haley Cowboys Jersey[/url] . After taking two big hits this week -- losing at home and dropping back-to-back games for the first time all season -- Indiana struck back by playing its most complete game of the year. [url=http://www.cowboysfootballgearshop.com/deion-sanders-jersey/]Deion Sanders Jersey[/url] . It was the kind of score that might make everyone else wonder which course he was playing. Except that Graeme McDowell saw the whole thing. Crouched behind the 10th green at Sheshan International, McDowell looked over at the powerful American and said, "Ive probably seen 18 of the best drives Ive seen all year in the last two days.

Miller finished in two minutes, 6.09 seconds, one day before the first medal race on the Alpine schedule. The 36-year-old American also turned in the top time in Thursdays opening training session. Collingwood have appointed former Adelaide coach Brenton Sanderson as an AFL assistant as part of their football department restructure.Sanderson, who coached the Crows for three seasons before being sacked at the end of 2014, will oversee the Magpies forward line and ball movement.Brenton brings with him a rich football background as both a player and coach and we feel hes an outstanding fit for our coaching panel in 2017 and beyond, Magpies football manager Graeme Allan said on Thursday.Sanderson has spent the past two years overseeing the development of elite teenage footballers as head coach of the AFL national academy.The 42-year-old played 209 AFL games at Geelong, Collingwood and Adelaide before starting his coaching career at Port Adelaide.Sanderson joins Robert Harrvey (backline) and Scott Burns (midfield) as assistants serving under head coach Nathan Buckley, following the dismissal of incumbents Ben Hart and Steve Grace.ddddddddddddollingwoods restructure also included the appointment of Allan as head of football, replacing Neil Balme, who has since joined Richmond.The announcement came despite Allan being one of three subjects of an AFL investigation into allegations Greater Western Sydney player Lachie Whitfield tried to avoid drug testers.Collingwood said Allan had told the club about the probe, which relates to his time at GWS, prior to his recruitment and there had been no reason not to employ him.
