UNC will be tough, for a few reasons. One is they have Sam Howell at QB. They return their OL. They picked up a very solid RB transfer in Chandler from Tennessee, and they still have weapons at WR. Those young guys made plays in the Orange Bowl. They also have very good coordinators. Their defense is what is going to improve a lot this year. Jay Bateman has done a great job with that group. They may have the best secondary in the league. Their LB play with GIMMEL will be as good as last year IMO. Their DL is going to be good with more depth. They will be a tough win on the road.
UVA will be sneaky good too. They return Armstrong at QB, and their entire OL. I thought their OL won against our DL last year in our game. That is a big veteran group. Bronco is a good coach, and his teams play tough and physical. The get Blount back at S this year, and he has their defense ready to play.
N.C. State will be a good team too with Devin Leary back healthy at QB. His QB rating was 148 when he went down for the year last year with his injury. He had 8 TD's to 2 INT's. They have a 1st team RB, a very good WR back, and a 1st team OT too. That won't be easy.
FSU could be better IF McKenzie Milton is near 100%. He would improve them dramatically. He was arguably the best QB in College football when he went down with injury.
The name of the game in the ACC this year is QB play. Alot of very good QB's in the ACC, which makes teams dangerous on a week to week basis.
