JacketsOnline - Brent Key quotes from the ACC Kickoff podium
OPENING STATEMENT: I can't tell you how awesome it is to come up here and be the first person up to kick off the 2024

I was watching the ACCN Huddle replay yesterday, and the panel is more excited by the transfer QB's e.g.. Miami, FSU, NCST, than HK. Yet he had better numbers last year. His only negative was interceptions. Not much love for GT at all.In case you missed it -

Brent Key puts it out there – Haynes King is ‘best quarterback in the ACC’
His 2023 season was prolific – first in the ACC in TD passes, first in points responsible for (224) and second in total offense (275.3 yards per game).www.ajc.com
So...business as usual.I was watching the ACCN Huddle replay yesterday, and the panel is more excited by the transfer QB's e.g.. Miami, FSU, NCST, than HK. Yet he had better numbers last year. His only negative was interceptions. Not much love for GT at all.
lets hope FSU feels the same.I was watching the ACCN Huddle replay yesterday, and the panel is more excited by the transfer QB's e.g.. Miami, FSU, NCST, than HK. Yet he had better numbers last year. His only negative was interceptions. Not much love for GT at all.
Norvell knows how good Haynes King is. Coach recruited him out high school and praised him on his development in college.lets hope FSU feels the same.
Let me add a twist in the courts. At some point acc could file in federal courts if they see any favoritism from espn who owns rights of both sec and acc.These are paywalled (I haven’t figured out how to give a gift article, or if it’s supported)

EA Sports doesn’t think much of our chances (wink). https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/56...mulations-playoff/?source=user_shared_article. I ran 25 simulations of the 2024 season in College Football 25. Here’s what I learned
Short versions:
- Jim Phillips has set his focus on the new reality of NCAA sports. He had the idealistic view of the student athlete that might barely linger in the Ivy League and military academies. It’s an article that superficially compliments him, but also contrasts that the Big 12 and the SEC will push the envelope of our new reality, while the ACC and B1G are more traditional. The B1G is in a better position to support that approach than we are.
- Clemson and FSU are in for a big court fight
- Pick Oregon if you’re playing on the PlayStation or XBox
