LOL West Virginia is preseason #10 in most polls. Also at Marshall will not be a cakewalk (We should win, but it isn't a sure thing).

Somebody tell me why WVU is top 10 (way too early polls or whatever). They were 7-6 this year.

They had a bad record becahse their very good starting qb (who returns) went out with injury. Top 10 is a stretch. But top 25 for sure.

^^He'll be the most experienced for sure, but I think Lawrence will be full-speed by the time we play them and will be the best QB we face.

Fuck Lawrence. He could be the best QB in ACC history or a fucking bust. I know he's athletic, but I'd rather have him back there than Bryant scrambling for 12 yards on 3rd and 9. Fuck mobile QBs...they've killed us at Clemson.

I don't see why you assume Lawrence is going to win the Clemson QB job. Hunter Johnson was the #2 QB in his class and has been enrolled at Clemson for a year already.

Yeah I don’t see Lawrence being the guy for Clemson next year. Dabo seems to prefer to play upper class men. He was reluctant to play Watson early in his career. Didn’t give Hunter Johnson much PT this year when Kelly Bryant was hurt either.

stoudt began the season as the starter to much of the fans' dismay iirc. watson later took over but got hurt so didn't play a full season in his freshman year. stoudt wasn't very good.

If Street can get an invite to the combine, he's going to make a lot of money.

Apparently some think Street should slide inside and bulk up a bit and play mainly DT. I remember when we tried that and he wasn't very good inside. Personally think he should end be a 3-4 DE.

^Yep, 3-4 DE would be perfect for him. And agreed about him getting in the combine. He'd sky-rocket up draft boards.

I found this article on Street from last summer where it talks about him running 4.5 40 and bench 475. Says he's also the most flexible football player on NC State.

Quote :
"Dantonio Burnette, Director of Strength and Conditioning for Football at N.C. State, calls Street "the biggest freak (he's) ever seen in the weight room." Considering that Burnette once coached Aaron Donald at the University of Pittsburgh, that's saying something."

I still get 'nam flashbacks of the day that Woodrow Dantzler put up like 700 total yards on us.

I think he played blowout minutes only because Boyd was ACC POY that year and they went to the Orange Bowl but got slaughtered by WV iirc.

^no that was a different year. Cole Stoudt was the other QB that year with DeShaun Watson. Stoudt started the year. Watson took over later but had injuries that held him out.

I don't assume anything...but most Clemson fans want him to be under center next year and a lot of college football experts are predicting he's the next coming and will be the starter at some point next year.

I have no idea who's going to be their starter next year...but I'd take an inexperienced pocket passer over Kelly Bryant.

I think most Clemson fans expect Johnson or Lawrence to win the job, could see KB with some special packages to run.

I think the idea is, Lawrence is the #1 player in the class, he should be ready to start week 1, but if not, he could be a candidate to redshirt. One problem is, if Lawrence wins that job as a true FR, Johnson(former 5* QB) is almost assured to transfer. I could see Dabo sticking with KB to start the season since he's the veteran(like he did with Stoudt a few years ago and what Bama just did with Hurts).

Fans are stupid and also Clemson already has a top rated QB who's been in the program for a year already, even if we aren't going to mention the returning starter who played well enough in his first year.

I don't understand the hype around UL at all, but their fans seem to really be optimistic about next year.

BC and Duke I kind of understand the hype around, they return a lot of young stars and have solid coaches.

Wake is a huge question mark. They have a good D and some really nice WRs, but I think people are downplaying how good their QB was last year. I know they bring in a RS-SR to start that has experience, but the limited action I've seen him he's a below-average passer and good runner, not really sure he'll be able to utilize those great WRs.

on the topic of UL...i know a lotta people throw them in the mix when talking about how tough our division is. but without an elite QB (Bridgewater, Lamar Jackson) i'm not convinced they'll be some monster we have to deal with each year. not that they'll be a pushover, either...i just see them closer to our equal in the division than them being way better than us each year.

As long as Petrino is there, they'll be one of the most dangerous teams in the division.

they're not gonna be bad at all, and certainly have the potential to be very good...i'm just saying that i think people got a little carried away during the 2016 season with just how good UL is gonna be year in and year out. they just had the heisman QB and went 4-4 in the ACC. they're a good program...i just think they'll be closer to our equal in the division than on the level of FSU and Clemson year in and year out.

UL will be interesting. They changed their offense a TON for Lamar, and apparently the guy behind him fits what Petrino likes to do, so I imagine it'll go back to his old system. Sounds like the new QB isn't Superman like Lamar but he's a good passer.

Will be interesting to see if having a more traditional pocket passer will make that OL and those WR's look better.

I'm not sure how losing a qb that can evade rushers, hit receivers on a dime 50 yds downfield and requires a spy every play would make OL and WR look BETTER

Their OL was incredible garbage last year. I have no clue what they lose or have coming back...but behind that OL their only hope was a mobile QB. They had a heisman winning balling video game QB and still only managed 4-4 in the conference.
