When Bobby Petrino signed on for his second go around at Louisville, Cardinals fans had visions of competing for ACC Titles and perennial top 25 seasons. His 2014 team went 9-4 with a win a Notre Dame. In 2015, Petrino went 8-5, but season finished with the coming out party of Lamar Jackson. The beginning …

Last week was a debacle for Virginia Tech against Old Dominion. It was a stunning loss as a 29 point favorite. There is no sugar coating it. It was a bad embarrassing defeat at the hands of Old Dominion. As the old saying goes you are never as bad as your worst loss or as …

I was at the Clemson Syracuse game, and I left extremely impressed with the Syracuse team. Syracuse lost 27-23, but if look closer at this game and the season as a whole, the Orange have a chance for a big season. Syracuse came into the game 4-0, all with blowout wins. That’s what you do …

Think about this for a minute… In January QB Chase Brice was so far down the Clemson depth chart, he was probably the 5th or 6th string QB. He entered the season 3rd string after several transfers. Kelly Bryant leaves – and he’s up to number 2. Then in the 2nd quarter freshman phenom Trevor …

In 2016 ACC football was on top of the world. Clemson was a national champion. There were 9 bowl wins. Florida State had just beat Michigan in the Orange Bowl. Louisville had the reigning Heisman trophy winner, and ACC teams were routinely beating SEC teams on the field. It was not a debate. The ACC …

Eventually Trevor Lawrence was going to be the starting quarterback at Clemson. Saturday’s easy victory over Georgia Tech may have moved up the timeline. I’ve been a Kelly Bryant guy. Clemson doesn’t beat Texas A&M without him. He’s a very good quarterback, but he doesn’t have Lawrence’s ceiling as a player. Clemson can cruise to …

Boston College was so close. They came into the season with the 2nd most pre-season All-ACC players. They had just gotten ranked in the top 25 this past week. In some circles, Boston College was being called the 2nd best team in the ACC. The Eagles were in position to start the year 5-0 with …

  Despite being 3-0, RubbingtheRock says Clemson’s offense lacks an identity.  ACCNation makes their Week 4 ACC game predictions.  Oh boy… When should Florida State start playing for next year asks Tomahawknation. What does BCInterruption think about Boston College football being ranked for the first time in nearly 10 years – pretty good I’d say. …

Duke  : A+ David Cutcliffe is working his magic again. There are road wins at Northwestern and Baylor, and that is without starting QB Daniel Jones who got hurt in the Northwestern game. They are 3-0 to start the season. Virginia Tech : A+ Virginia Tech’s win at FSU has lost some luster since we’ve …
