Friday Quarterback
Last Week: 8-2After a rather solid start, here I go with more predictions.
Maryland at Wake Forest
An interesting situation, two underachieving ball clubs. Maryland coming off a second consecutive loss to West Virginia and the Deamon Deacons picking up their first win of the season. While the Terps may still be shaky at quarterback, they have the skills to put enough points up against an even more inept Wake Forest offense.
PREDICTION: MD 31 WF 10
Colorado at #12 Miami
The Buffalos were a surprise team in the Big XII last year, but they cannot be looking forward to this. The 'Canes are riding high after a big win at Clemson, complacency might hit them early but talent will win out and Miami will stay in the ACC race.
PREDICTION: Colorado 17 Miami 35
North Carolina at NC State
These two teams are both hard to get a read on. Has the Wolfpack offense picked up enough muster to make it in the ACC? Have the Tar Heels really turned their program around? Both teams are 1-1 and both looking for some respect. I still can't go against the Wolfpack, who came a few plays from taking down the Hokies yet again. Maybe next year Tar Heels.
PREDICTION: UNC 13 NC State 24
Duke at Virginia
Virginia plays its first ACC game of the season, and they couldn't have picked a better situation (Duke at home). Last time these two teams met in Charlottesville, the Cavaliers won 28-0 WITHOUT senior QB Matt Schaub. Duke has certainly improved since then and the Cavs have looked far from immaculate like they did last year. Nevertheless, the home field and the superior talent will give Virginia their ACC victory, and hopefully just a hint of momentum to boot.
PREDICTION: Duke 10 UVA 30
Boston College at Clemson
Imagine how big this game would have been if these teams had pulled off their respective upsets. Nevertheless, this is still a big matchup. The Eagles are one solid team, and I would not be surprised if they won. However, playing at Death Valley is a monumental task for any team, especially one not used to it. Therefore, Whitehurst and crew look to keep their cardiac fans happy.
PREDICTION: BC 24 CLEMSON27
#15 Georgia Tech at #4 Virginia Tech
A monumentally important game in terms of the ACC race. Georgia Tech has proven it is the real deal, there problem is they play Miami, VT and UVA all on the ROAD. This game is all about Reggie Ball, if he is healthy this could be an amazing game. If viral meningitis makes him anything less than 100% they will lose. In the end though...I'll be optimistic :-).
PREDICTION: GT 20 VT 17
