    Just curious, who was #1 and 2 last season in ACC strength of schedule? I’d like to see our defensive points per game drop to < 17.

    I love these stats. Keep them coming!

    Russia, that was my thought too. Knock on wood, I’m just glad we still have the strong linebacker corps. I’m going to miss Nate, his comeback story, his energy and his suplex tackles but our linebackers will still butt. I look forward to Audie Cole giving me all kinds of reasons to miss him next year.
