QB Situation in the ACC
The ACC is going into this upcoming season with the least known group of QBs of all the major conferences in a long time. EJ Manuel, from Florida State University, and Jacory Harris, from University of Miami, might be the two most well recognized names in the group. Russell Wilson would have been the shining star of the group coming into the season, but he transferred from NC State to Wisconsin this summer. While Manuel has the starting QB position on lock at FSU Harris is going into the Fall with a battle on his hands.
Harris will be going head to head with Stephen Morris, who came in last season and had some very
impressive games while Harris was injured. Each one has their own strengths, but it should come down
to who has less weaknesses. With a new head coach in place this season it really gives both players an
even playing field to grab the starting spot. Both guys were able to win games under center and this
might be a battle that isn’t settled until part way through the season. Harris and Morris both need to
bring their “A” game from the start and impress everyone from Coach Golden to the rest of the players
on offense.
If the Hurricanes can figure out their QB situation early on in the season they should be in good shape
to make another run at an ACC Championship. The defense always plays at a very high level, so to make
this really click the offense is going to need to do its part and that starts with the QB.
