Week 2: ACC Game Thread and Predictions

[hughest4]

Game Thread and Predictions

Saturday, September 6th

12:00 PM EST - Georgia Tech @ Boston College

Prediction: I think this is going to be a great game between 2 very solid football teams. Tech is going to be running the ball a lot so it's a good thing that BC has a very good defense. Boston College wins 20-17

1:30 PM EST - Furman @ Virginia Tech

Prediction: This is going to be a great week for Virginia Tech to work out the kinks against a less then stellar opponent Virginia Tech rolls 41-10

3:30 PM EST - Mississippi @ #20 Wake Forest

Prediction: Wake Forest better beat this middle of the pack SEC. If they don't its just going to bring more bad publicity for the ACC Wake Forest wins 28-17

3:30 PM EST - Citadel @ Clemson

Prediction: Clemson O-Line and Linebackers are going to look great in this game no matter what, so we won't learn anything about them. Clemson wins 52-9

3:30 PM EST - Richmond @ Virginia

Prediction:Virginia had a tough week against USC but i think they will rebound nicely and prove that they are a solid team. UVA wins 31-16

6:00 PM EST - Western Carolina @ Florida State

Prediction: Florida State has had a terrible offseason and i truly think that will affect them in this game. However, its a good thing that they are playing Western Carolina Florida State wins 38-13

6:00 PM EST - William & Mary @ North Carolina State

Prediction - NC State had a tough week against South Carolina but i think they will rebound nicely against William & Mary NC State wins 21-10

7:00 PM EST - Northwestern @ Duke

Prediction: Duke suprised me last week when they beat James Madison, but i can't imagine that they will win 2 games in a row. Northwestern wins 21-17

7:00 PM EST - Maryland @ Middle Tennessee

Prediction: I'm sorry Maryland fans, but they just arent very good this year. However, Tenn State isn't that great of the team and i think Maryland will squeeze out a win...again Maryland wins 20-10

8:00 PM EST - Miami @ #5 Florida

Prediction:I honestly think Miami is a much improved team this year but i'm not sure if they are going to be able to compete with Florida. If they do then its a plus for ACC Football Florida wins 38-20

Hughest4 season record: 7-4

We should keep a running tab on who picks the most correct games. At the end of the season we will see which of us knows ACC Football the best.

[Mane]

You have Wake Forest on there twice, and Maryland plays Middle Tennessee State, not Tennessee State. Not that it matters, but its a different team.

I am really interested in what Maryland will do at quarterback. The only problem we have is QB. And its a bad one.

Duke is going to win the ACC!

[Mane]

Duke is going to win the ACC!

agreed.

[cambovenzi]

obviously duke wins the ACC.
after beating james madison, the ACC teams should be a piece of cake

There is no one that can stop their fury.

[Mane]

There is no one that can stop their fury.

Yeah, they did beat James ****ing Madison. Strong team to beat...

I am really excited for the Maryland game. Want to see if the 2 back punch works effectively again. And hopefully Heyward Bey has another good game. The most important thing: Find stability at quarterback... Steffy needs to go, and if Turner wants to start, he needs to be able to be a 2 td passer every game. I'm not really sure what Portis can do as far as throwing, but i'd like to see him in the mix a little more this game. Running options, and throwing a few passes. That way everytime he comes out, people are not ready for him to run every time.

[Mane]

Meh, perfect... just perfect.

A hurricane coming through on the weekend. Probably going to knock power out for a couple days. If i miss either saturday or sundays worth of football, i'm going ****ing postal.

They need to really take advantage of the games like this because its the best time to improve as a team. I think the running game will be a strong point for you guys and i agree that Chris Turner should be starting..at least showed something last year. Is your RB Meggett related to Ex-NFL player Dave Meggett? His son possibly?

BTW, i'm going to BC/Maryland on Nov 29. Should be fun

There is a considerable difference between MTSU and TSU. MTSU would probably beat TSU by 40+ points.

My predictions just for fun

Boston College 20 Georgia Tech 13

Virginia Tech 48 Furman 7

Wake Forrest 31 Ole Miss 17 (Ole Miss is bottom of the barrell SEC not even close to middle of the pack)

Clemson 55 Citadel 10

Virginia 33 Richmond 6

Florida State 34 Western Carolina 10

NC State 30 William and Mary 3

Northwestern 24 Duke 14

Maryland 28 MTSU 17

Florida 48 Miami 20

Yeah, i just looked it up on wiki, hes Dave Meggetts son.

[hughest4]

Man, i a have a feeling that this Georgia Tech/BC is going go be close the whole time...and these are the types of games that give me a heart attack. BC has looked pretty solid on offense but the defense really needs to step up against the pass. We aren't going to run up the score on a lot of teams so we need to keep it as low scoring as possible
