Well, it’s been a week since the game in Death Valley. NC State played, the worst game I’ve seen them play in 2 years. I would argue that this is the worst performance in the Dave Doeren era at NC State. It is worse then that initial 3-9 Doeren team. Finley played the worst game …

As homecomings go, Navy football player Chris Gesell touches all the bases, including jumping with two feet on his metaphorical home plate, San Diego. Aside from using a baseball metaphor for a football game, that’s quite a story and lifetime memory. Gesell grew up in San Diego before he left for the Naval Academy in …

CHARLOTTE — N.C. State coach Kevin Keatts grinned a cunning smile when asked if C.J. Bryce, an All-Colonial Athletic Association first-team pick for him at UNC-Wilmington, was an overlooked ACC player coming out of high school or one that has blossomed. Keatts, seated at a table in the Spectrum Center at the Atlantic Coast Conference …

I’m a scarred Georgia Tech fan. I’ve seen so many blown leads, so many 2 minute end of the half scores by opposing offenses, and so many sloppy turnovers on offense the last 2 years. After Virginia Tech’s quick under 2 minute score with their first possession, I tweeted this. I know most Georgia Tech …

Clemson I am thrilled to say that Florida State is trending upwards under the Taggart regime. With a an Offensive Line that is, finally, finding it’s rhythm under the new offense, Francois is finding the explosive plays necessary to enable Florida State wins over their tough slate of opponents.

Navy-Notre Dame is a time-honored college football tradition with continuity strengthened through American history. The specific epochal period was World War II. It’s the reason the rivalry, renewed for the 92nd time Saturday night in San Diego, remains the nation’s longest uninterrupted intersectional series. It dates to 1927, despite playing out as one-sided affairs many …

ACC QUESTION of the Week : Which ACC hot-seat coaches most badly need a strong second half of the season? Let’s start with this note at the forefront of our conversation: If you asked me right now, I do not think an ACC head coach will be fired in 2018. One might step away due …

I was at the Clemson NC State game today, and Clemson hammered NC State. Any illusion that NC State was ready to beat the ACC’s top dog today was wiped out in an onslaught of Clemson’s superior talent and depth. The Wolfpack were no match for the Tigers in a 41-7 blowout. Blog Contributor James …

After a 28-14 win at Duke, you need to start paying attention to what Bronco Mendenhall is doing. Last week Virginia upset Miami. It was a big win for the Hoos, but upsets happen. …

Wake Forest I have to admit: I was pleasantly surprised to see the score of FSU versus Miami from my seat in Gainesville (don’t ask why I attended the LSU vs UF game). Alas, FSU could not hold-on quite as long as they needed (and had a controversial dismissed touchdown that would of sealed the …
