It’s that time of year again where we preview every team in the ACC Coastal, which is always filled with chaos. North Carolina has the most hype heading into the season, which is warranted. But, can they live up to expectations? That's the big question for Carolina fans, coming off an 8-4 season with a slew of holes left by offensive skill position players that now play in the NFL. Sam Howell has a lot riding on his shoulders, but the talent to get the Tar Heels to Charlotte.
Miami is the second most thought of team in the conference, and as long as D'Eriq King is playing quarterback at a high-level, you have to love the Canes' chances. However, there are a number of questions about how this Miami team can hold up on the defensive side of the football. The Miami offense will have to be on-point all season long to find themselves in the ACC's top game.
Then you have tier two of the conference with Virginia Tech, Pitt, and Virginia looking to steal the coastal division, or at least to make the race as interesting as possible along the way. All three of these teams have question marks of some kind, whether that be personnel, coaching, scheme changes, etc. However, all three of these teams are capable of beating just about every team on their schedule. This is where coastal chaos takes lives. If these three teams can win against the likes of UNC and Miami, it's a five team race in the coastal for a seventh consecutive year.
Rounding out the division is Georgia Tech and Duke. Each team is essentially rebuilding and have some nice pieces here and there that we discuss, but, for the most part, way too many questions or personnel challenges in keys area. Both teams happen to be very weak at offensive line, but if they can outperform expectations with this group, Duke or Georgia Tech should at least be able to hold their own in a handful of conference games.
