Jonathan Dwyer is so totally better than C.J. Spiller. Oh, we are talking about Coastal RB units--carry on.
We are inching closer and closer to football season which means we look for more angles for CFB talk. The month of July is for positional rankings leading up to the unveiling of my first ACC Power Poll preseason ranking the best of the best in the ACC. Today, we look at the running backs of the ACC’s Coastal:
1) Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
Returning Starters/Experience: High. Talent: Very good.
Make or Break Player: TB Jonathan Dwyer
2) Virginia Tech Hokies
Returning Starters/Experience: High. Talent: Very good.
Make or Break Player: RB Darren Evans
3) North Carolina Tar Heels
Returning Starters/Experience: High. Talent: Good.
Make or Break Player: RB Shaun Draughn
4) Miami Hurricanes
Returning Starters/Experience: High. Talent: Good.
Make or Break Player: RB Graig Cooper
5) Virginia Cavaliers
Returning Starters/Experience: Medium. Talent: Good.
Make or Break Player: RB Mikell Simpson
6) Duke Blue Devils
Returning Starters/Experience: High. Talent: Medium.
Make or Break Player: RB Re’quan Boyette
And I thought the Atlantic was stacked at RB…even Duke has a pretty solid squad. Have seen a lot of Spiller vs. Dwyer, but not a lot of Clemson RB unit vs. GT RB unit because the Spiller backups(Jamie Harper and Andre Ellington) are not as heralded. We’ll see that matchup tomorrow in the overall rankings.
