Really the craziest thing is how much talent the ACC is losing at Qb. I'm willing to bet at least 5 of the top 10 QB drafted will come from ACC schools. And I'm actually willing to bet the top 3 QBs selected all are ACC QBs. Only Mahomes out of Texas Tech is really in that competition.
So just by that I'd say FSU has the biggest advantage of any team in the ACC this yr because they broke in their freshman QB last year and he performed well. But I don't think you can look at our QB situation and look at it as a negative when compared to the rest of the ACC, because we are all in the same situation.
Now this makes us having a top defense all the more important. Last year the one area that I believe we have the most room to grow is takeaways. I don't think our secondary will be as good as they were last year just based on the players we are losing and the fact that the best 3 cbs on the roster right now are 1st yr Canes, but I think that if they can just create more turnovers they will make us a better overall defense. And since the front 7 will be improved, they have a lot helping them out. If we create more turnovers on defense and limit them on offense, we will win the Coastal guaranteed.
