#StayHealthy and practice social distancing Well we’ve gotten to the half-way point of the ACC football season, and it’s time to check in on the ACC COY race. A few weeks ago we revealed our first early contenders, and from that list of Dave Doeren, Justin Fuente, Manny Diaz, and Bronco Mendenhall only one remains. …

It’s a stat normally reserved for for lower division FCS teams playing 2 pay for play games against top 10 college football teams, but it’s Georgia Tech’s last two ACC football games. After a surprising 46-27 win over Louisville, it appeared Collins may have started his foundation for rebuilding Georgia Tech. Then the wheels came …

Well here we go again. I think everyone that follows the ACC respects what Dave Clawson has done at Wake Forest. It’s every bit the rebuilding job that David Cutcliffe faced at Duke, and all Wake Forest has done is average 7.5 wins the last 4 years and win 3 bowls. This year though, it …

Clemson has a luxury that very few teams in college football have. They don’t have to play well to win and win big. Clemson won 47-21 against Syracuse Saturday. Some Tiger fans bristled when I suggested the final score wasn’t as close as the game indicated, but the fact is that’s exactly how closer than …

ACCPrescription has some ACCFactoids for us. How many ACC Teams are ranked in this week’s polls? Where the ACC QBs, and RBs ranked nationally? It’s there it that article. RubbingtheRock digs very deep to say Clemson could be challenged by Syracuse. More realistic is NunesMagician asks how many Infinity Stones does Syracuse need to defeat …

Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski’s reputation has been sticking with the same six to seven players throughout a game and the season. He wasn’t much on going to the bench while advancing to 12 Final Fours and winning five national titles. But last year he was still rotating nine or 10 players into January and …

It’s not the ACC’s fault that eliminations in the conference are coming more rapidly than everywhere else. Most Big 12 teams are basically done for, but actual eliminations have been staved off by fortuitous splitting of losses plus a few COVID-related delayed games. The Big Ten and Pac 12 haven’t started playing yet. And numerous …

NC State had something going with Devin Leary. He didn’t play great, but when Leary was running the offense the rest of the team responded. Unfortunately, Leary’s season more likely than not season ended on Saturday. Leary underwent surgery on Sunday to repair a broken Fibula. The time frame for him to be out is …

Matthew Hurt played the AAU circuit as a 5-star basketball recruit, meaning he faced plenty of top talent in competition. His play attracted enough offers to have the luxury of narrowing his list to three blue bloods, Duke, Kentucky and Kansas. His high school days also included starting five of six games for the USA …

The Big Ten hasn’t started to play yet. Looking at how the season has gone so far in each of the Power 5 conferences that have begun play already, maybe the Big Ten should be happy about that. There is one word that can describe the football season so far for each conference. Big 12: …

Do yourself a favor and give him a follow on twitter. The Florida State Seminoles were far from perfect on Saturday night against the North Carolina Tar Heels. The 15-yard penalties.

#StayHealthy and practice social distancing The old coach knew what he was talking about on Saturday morning. Lee Corso, the 85-year-old ESPN College Gameday host, thought it odd N.C State, with a 3-1 record, was only a 4.5-point favorite at home over a Duke, a team with a 1-4 mark. “Somebody knows something,” said Corso …
