Remember last week when I said Brent Key had Georgia Tech on the right track after a win at Wake Forest?  First of all, I turned out to be really wrong as I left a final ominous caveat at the end of that article. With a 1-3 Bowling Green next, Georgia Tech can’t afford to …

I saw tweets tonight that said Louisville is not that good a 5-0 team. Those accounts that said that are missing the entire point of what Louisville has accomplished so far this season. Nobody is saying that’s a playoff team – yet. The Cardinals came into the season with three 50/50 type games in their …

We ask the three biggest ACC football question marks of that week. Here we go for Week 5. What does Duke need to do to beat Notre Dame?  Duke needs to get on top of Notre Dame. Player-for-player Duke can’t match the Irish talent-wise, but that was also the case against Clemson. Notre Dame is …

FOR THE FIRST TIME …

With so many ACC teams off to 4-0 starts, teams down the list can get lost in the shuffle. Georgia Tech is one of those teams that has quietly shown improved play over last year, but with a 1-2 that didn’t yet show it. Saturday Georgia Tech went to Wake Forest as an underdog with …

Today I was at the Clemson vs. Florida State game, and earlier I gave my Clemson perspective on the 31-24 OT win for the Noles. Now I go to the otherside, and my take on the victorious Florida State Seminoles. Florida State has had 3 tests in 4 games and passed all 3. Passing tests …

As I watched Clemson vs Florida State today from the stands Saturday, something became clear to me. I’ve seen this series of Clemson games going back to last year all before. During the Bowden era, Clemson was rarely truly awful. Typically they were a 7-9 win team, that could show up at times and play …

Just a quick post for tonight… If you haven’t had the chance to read the Jordan Travis at FSU from ESPN and written by David Hale and Andrea Adelson it’s worth your time. Travis is one of the easiest players in college football to root for. This is someone who worked hard and persevered to …

We ask the three biggest ACC football question marks of that week. Here we go for Week 4. What will it take for Clemson to beat Florida State?  Florida State has a great QB, and a great WR, and are loaded on offense. They individually have some really good players on defense. The secondary is …

14. Virginia (0-3, 0-0) Last Week – 14 For a moment it looked like Virginia would have a shot against Maryland. Then Maryland scored 42 straight points. 13. Virginia Tech (1-2, 0-0) Last Week – 10 Virginia Tech lost 35-16 to Rutgers, and it wasn’t that close. The Hokies offense has so many issues. 12. …

With some of the high profile wins and starts in the ACC this year, Syracuse has flown under the radar. That is until this weekend. The Cuse had looked impressive against overmatched opponents, but then when you go on the road and beat Purdue 35-20 and have only given up 27 points in your first …
