Three Other ACC Quarterback Battles This Spring (stateoftheu.com; Dottavio)
The Miami Hurricanes aren’t the only program in the ACC with a quarterback controversy on their hands. While Miami’s might be more in fan spirit than in the coaches’ office, the Florida State Seminoles, Clemson Tigers, and UNC Tar Heels have legitimate QB battles on their hands this spring. Here is a breakdown of all three QB battles by program.
Clemson Tigers
Quarterbacks: Kelly Bryant, Hunter Johnson, Trevor Lawrence
Kelly Bryant did most of the starting quarterback work in 2017 for the Clemson Tigers. Clemson finished the 2017 season with a 12-2 record (7-1 ACC) and a College Football Playoff bid. The Tigers eventually lost to the Alabama Crimson Tide 28-6. Clemson destroyed the Miami Hurricanes in the ACC Championship Game and their only loss of the season before the Tide blowout came with Kelly Bryant out injured. Bryant threw for 2802 yards (7.04 yards / attempt) and 13 touchdowns to 8 interceptions. Bryant also ran for 665 yards and 11 touchdowns. However, his lack of efficiency in a post Deshaun Watsonworld left Clemson vulnerable against a great ‘Bama defense.

ACC Football Rx: BR's 10 Hardest 2018 Schedules (accfootballrx.com; Hokie Mark)
According to BR, which teams have College Football's 10 Hardest Schedules for 2018? Don't look now, but three of them belong to ACC teams...
10. Louisville Cardinals
Jawon Pass has the privilege of beginning his tenure as Louisville's starting quarterback against Alabama. 5Dimes lists the Crimson Tide as a 29.5-point favorite. The Cardinals have another playoff qualifier on their slate, as they head to Clemson on the first weekend of November. Louisville has five other bowl teams on the docket, including conference foes Florida State and NC State as well as in-state rival Kentucky.
9. Florida State Seminoles
Have fun in your first year, Willie Taggart. Florida State opens the campaign against Virginia Tech on Labor Day. The Seminoles will be favored in the next three games (Samford, Syracuse and Northern Illinois), but then, the road gets treacherous. FSU goes on the road to play Louisville and Miami in consecutive weeks, followed by home clashes with Wake Forestand Clemson and journeys to NC State and Notre Dame. After pesky Boston College, the Noles end the regular season against rival Florida. The return of quarterback Deondre Francois will boost the team, but Florida State has a road-heavy, demanding schedule.
8. Texas A&M Aggies
7. Notre Dame Fighting Irish
If the Irish return to the national conversation, they'll have earned it. Eight opponents reached a bowl game in 2018. Notre Dame will renew its rivalry with Michigan on opening weekend, hosting the Wolverines under the lights. In the last two matchups of September, the Irish journey to Wake Forest and host Stanford. They begin October at Virginia Tech and close the month with a neutral-site meeting opposite Navy, which has forced Notre Dame into two straight one-possession games (one of which Navy won). Northwestern, Florida State and USC await the Irish during the final month. Brian Kelly's club has no margin for error.
