Syracuse moved to 6-0 after their victory over NC State Saturday. It’s the program’s best start since 1987. How did Syracuse twitter react? Oh and Dino Babers is your mid-season ACC COY. Storm that field. https://t.co/ZkGgVRKXIb — Eric Reinhold (@eric_theorange) October 15, 2022 Will not even try to lie. This feels great. The Orange deserve …

Just a short post for tonight. We’ve reached the mid-point of the season and a couple of mid-season All-ACC teams have been released. Do you agree or disagree? Did you miss me & @aadelsonESPN handing out our midseason awards & all-ACC picks on today’s In Play? I’m not angry. Just disappointed. Anyway, here they are …

ACC Team of the Week : NC State – for a 19-17 win over Florida State 14. Virginia  (2-4) Last Week: 14 Virginia had a listless effort against a not very good Louisville team. Without a game this week, they’ll be last in these rankings next week too. 13. Virginia Tech (2-4) Last Week: 13 Virginia …

Will Syracuse prove they are for real against NC State?  Syracuse has been pointing to the NC State game for weeks. NC State’s Devin Leary is banged up, and Syracuse is one of the ACC’s biggest surprises. Should the Orange win they might get to the fringe of the top 10 which would have been …

What are some of the surest signs a program is turning the corner? I think it’s still winning games when adversity hits the hardest is one of them. NC State definitely faced that adversity Saturday night. Down 17-3 and the half, Devin Leary getting knocked out of the game in the 2nd half, then FSU …

Before Saturday, November 10, November 17 of 2018 was the last time Georgia Tech won back-to-back games. That was Paul Johnson’s last season on the Flats. Georgia Tech never won back-to-back games during the ill-fated Geoff Collins era. Saturday’s 23-20 OT win over Duke gave HC Brent Key and Georgia Tech the program’s first back-to-back …

Five games into Tony Elliot’s tenure at Virginia and the Hoos look like one of the two or three worst teams in the ACC. A listless 34-17 home loss to a mediocre Louisville team probably ensures Virginia is going to have a long long season. Any discussion of the hot seat and Tony Elliot is …

Who stays in the ACC Atlantic race – Florida State or NC State?  Florida State and NC State both took losses this past week to Atlantic Division Rivals Wake Forest and Clemson.

Saturday night’s 30-20 win over NC State, has established Clemson as the team to beat in the ACC for 2022. The Tiger’s defense finally looked more like what we expected coming into the season. They held the Wolfpack to just 34 rushing yards, and under 300 total yards. The defensive line looked as spry as …

If I didn’t see it, I wouldn’t have believed it. There wasn’t any doubt in my mind that a change in head coaches would improve Georgia Tech. Let’s just say Geoff Collins was limited in that department and I’ll leave it at that. When Brent Key was named head coach, I was looking toward the …
