Defensive
Line / Secondary |
The defensive line, led
by All-American sack artist
Vic Beasley, doesn't lose
a single participant.
The secondary, too, has
a chance to be really
special. Other than the
Florida State game these
covermen had a solid year.
With a deep wealth of
experience back, along
with a great pass rush,
opposing quarterbacks
won't find life easy throwing
the ball. |

Offensive
Backfield / Linebacker |
Tajh
Boyd is finally history
after rewriting many of
the ACC and school passing
records. Now the race
begins for the next great
QB. The early front runners
appear to be senior Cole
Stoudt and the lesser
experienced, but highly
touted Chad Kelly. Whoever
the new quarterback is
they won't have the luxury
of handing off to a proven
ball carrier. Howard and
Brooks earned a few reps
this past season but the
departed McDowell handled
most all of the important
carries. Two of the linebacker
slots are wide open. This
unit has been a thorn
in recent years gone by.
