When digging into the Wake Forest schedule one things sticks out in particular and that is they have a very easy non-conference schedule in which should start them out 3-0 quickly with Elon, Vanderbilt and Old Dominion before squaring off with ACC competition. The Deacs won’t have Sam Hartman behind center in 2023 as he …

The Florida State Seminoles enter the 2023 season with overwhelming high expectations as Jordan Travis leads the offense and Jared Verse leads the defense. Mike Norvell is entering his fourth season with the Seminoles, with an 18-16 record. His first two seasons weren’t remarkable as he went 3-6 in the covid-era in 2020 and the …

When college football kicks off in less than 100 days the Miami Hurricanes under second-year head coach Mario Cristobal will have much higher expectations than in his first season. Miami has a pretty easy non-conference schedule which should really give them the edge heading into conference play on October 7 versus Georgia Tech. The Canes …

Garrett Shrader is probably one of the better quarterbacks in the ACC, but gets overlooked by his counterparts Drake Maye, Jordan Travis, Riley Leonard, and Cade Klubnik. Shrader and the Orange started off to a hot 6-0 start where they defeated three ACC opponents including NC State, who was ranked 15 at the time, and …

With a new quarterback under center for the Pitt Panthers the usually over-surprising program should make some noise in the ACC in 2023 with Phil Jurkovec under center. Jurkovec transferred into the Pitt program from Boston College and should have better success this year with the Panthers than he did last year with the Eagles …

The Wolfpack enter the 2023 campaign with a new man under center in Brennan Armstrong after he transferred in from Virginia after the Wolfpack lost their starting quarterback Devin Leary to Kentucky. With Armstrong behind center for the Wolfpack, it could mean one of two things; NC State is going to win a lot of …

Mike Norvell and his coaching staff have done an exceptional job at hitting the transfer portal over the last couple of years, thus building his Seminoles into yet again the powerhouse they are meant to be. Sure, in his first two years, he wasn’t overly successful and some fans were calling for his head. But …

When Scott Satterfield jumped ship to be the new head coach at Cincinnati, Jeff Brohm, who was the head coach at Purdue decided to save the day for the Cardinals. …

I have a great idea for the next head coach of Georgia Tech football: The guy who is currently coaching the Yellow Jackets. Let’s not try to overcomplicate this: Geoff Collins was a terrible football coach. He was incompetent. He couldn’t tie his shoelaces. He took over the special teams and the special teams were …

Author @MattZemek, Editor at @TrojansWire . In 2023, we won’t have ACC Coastal chaos. We will just have the top two teams — probably in the Atlantic — playing in the ACC Championship Game. While a lot of national college football writers might have a romantic attachment to the ACC WHEEL… OF… DESTINYYYYYY!, the reality about Coastal chaos and seven …

Author @MattZemek, Editor at @TrojansWire . This is it. This is the moment North Carolina State fans have waited for. College GameDay. The primetime treatment. The national centerpiece game. Unbeaten Clemson is standing in the way. On the road. Wake Forest has lost. Miami and the rest of the ACC Coastal are a mess. If North Carolina State wins this …

Author @MattZemek, Editor at @TrojansWire . This is the biggest, most important season in the entire history of North Carolina State football. “Geez, Matt, why are you bombarding us with hot takes right out of the gate? Recency bias, much? Come on. This is so unprofesional. Why do you have to make an extreme, far-reaching statement with zero nuance? Sigh.” …

Author @MattZemek, Editor at @TrojansWire . As a national college football commentator, I have written about the need for divisions to be abolished in the sport for several years. The concept of the conference championship game in college football is great, but one thing the sport has always needed is a less rigid approach. Division champions playing in a …
