It’s that time of year again where we preview every team in the ACC, plus Notre Dame. For this episode, we’re focused on the ACC Atlantic. Of course, Clemson has dominated the Atlantic and the ACC since 2016, but there are a number of huge departures for the Tigers on offense this season.
NC State is primed and ready to contend, returning 18 starters and bringing back a healthy Devin Leary at quarterback. If there’s a window of opportunity that’s open, it’s in Raileigh. Wake Forest and Boston College figure to be firmly in the mix and should be tough outs for any team in the conference. Then there are the bottom three.
We look at the challenges ahead for Lousiville and how they plan to fill the holes left by three stud playmakers on offense. Can Florida State begin to take a step forward in a positive direction in year 2 under Mike Norvell? And we discuss the abysmal situation that is Syracuse football and why we expect this to be Dino Babers final season manning the orange.
Then there’s Notre Dame. Brian Kelly is four wins away from passing Knute Rockne as the winning-est coach in school history. However, there’s a very new look to the offense with Jack Coan at quarterback with the graduation of Ian Book. There are also four new offensive lineman in what appears to be a run-first offense, and some key departures on defense that will be difficult to replace.
It’s an episode you won’t want to miss as we are rapidly approaching the start to the 2021 college football season!
