ACC Report

Special Report

Retired Coach Rick
ACC Correspondent

The youngsters on some of the ACC's best teams let their inexperience dominate them this past weekend. Maybe the mature coaches at Florida State helped pull them through. Maryland did its impersonation of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde again.

I saw Boston College's backup QB play in high school and he is going to be a good one, but let's hope they don't make it to the championship. He is not ready. A Florida State-Georgia Tech rematch would be good. I thought Tech was very lucky last time.

FSU, Boston College, Georgia Tech, Miami, Virginia Tech, North Carolina and Maryland deserve to be in bowl games this year. If the SEC, Big 12, Pac-10 or Fat 10 had the same type of inter-league records everyone would be saying what great conferences, while the ACC is mocked. Do you think there might be some unknowledgable reporters out there?

It is nice to watch a conference where the final week counts. The biggest disappointment of course is Clemson. The biggest surprise is Miami. It is a conference with a lot of great young talent and they will keep beating each other for a couple of more years. In two years, watch out one of the ACC teams will be in the BCS championship game.

Rome was not built in a day.
