Let me tell you right now, that’s not happening, but that does not mean that Taylor is a talented quarterback. If Tyrod Taylor can become an efficient passer, it will go a long way to helping his cause.
He already has the legs to be a threat running the ball, combine that with a dangerous running back in Darren Evans and the Hokies have a potentially dangerous backfield.
While it will not be pretty, Virginia Tech should not have a difficult time bringing home another ACC Championship.
Record: 9-3 Key Games: Alabama, NC State, at Ga. Tech
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets: This is Paul Johnson’s second year at Georgia Tech, and he is to prove to the critics that last season’s stellar performance was not a fluke.
The Yellow jackets ranked fourth in the nation in rushing last season, and with Jonathan Dwyer returning as the ACC’s leading rusher you can believe that Georgia Tech’s option attack will have them tops in the country once again.
The ACC got a healthy dose of Georgia Tech’s rushing attack last season, and they will be better prepared for defending it this time around. The key the Yellow jackets success will be the nine returning starters, and their ability to keep things fresh by showing different fronts and schemes.
It won’t be easy and Georgia Tech, will be in a lot of close games but they have enough in the tank to hold off the rest of the Coastal Division.
Record: 8-4 Key Games: At Florida State, Virginia Tech
Miami Hurricanes: Don’t get too up in arms over this pick; in all honesty the third through the fifth spot in the Costal Division are all interchangeable with one another. So for the sake of argument, I’m giving the Hurricanes the nod as the third place team.
Once again, the Canes have changed their coordinators, with new offensive and defensive play callers in place.
If nothing else the new coordinators have brought some new life and excitement to the Miami players. This could spell trouble for the rest of the ACC. While Miami has not always performed well on the field they still have some of the best athletes in the country.
If they can get together on the same page, then the Hurricanes can make some noise in the weak ACC.
The key for Miami this season will be getting out to a strong start. With games against Florida State, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech and Oklahoma to kick things off, the Canes must win two of those games if they want to stay afloat on the year.
Record: 7-5 Key Games: Oklahoma, Virginia Tech, South Florida
