ACC Top Heavy In Football
Went. 5-1 on my college picks this weekend only Missing Wake/BC. Overall record is 11-1 after two weekends.
We will begin with Wake Forest who lost at Boston College 24-10. I kind of get the feeling that those in the decision making understands that Wake much like Duke are just not 10 wins teams every year and are satisfied when ever they can win five and once in a life time win a conference championship. Seems as patience running a little short with Jim Grobe and four wins or less this season could be his last in Winston.
ECU is off to a 2-0 start but who in Pirate Land is happy with the defense. Coach Ruffin was a D coordinator before arriving in Greenville. Up Next is Virginia Tech who is very beatable. They only have an average offense at best. Defense must shine in this one.
NC State is 2-0 by the skin of their teeth. They sure do look like they have a pocket quarterback in an offense that needs to be a mobile moving QB. May struggle until they get their mobile starting QB back. That will be toward the end of the season and this could get to be a long year in Raleigh.
Carolina 2-0 beat a directional team from Tennessee. Gone are the days of beating a DII team by 50 or more unless they are terrible. Defense looks real suspect again. you know one problem with a team that likes to be quick on offense is your defense is right back out on the field again.
Duke beat Memphis but loss their starting QB. Like State entire style of team changes with the backup. I think Duke had a Bowl game last year and will be a while before they get another.
NCW lost on Friday night on the road by a touchdown. Defense looks decent but a couple more touchdowns and victories will come.
Miami becomes the second ACC team to beat a rather strong SEC team. Just maybe one of the top ACC teams can be in the National Championship talk when November comes. Clemson looks like they are for real and Florida State. If you noticed there is no North Carolina team in that talk.
