ACC mailbag: Coaching questions at Syracuse, Virginia Tech & Miami

It’s time for another installment of the ACC mailbag, chock full of predictions that are bound to be wrong.

@DavidHaleESPN how can the pack stay with Clemson Saturday??

Two big keys for NC State. The first is to go uptempo on offense. The Wolfpack are one of the few teams Clemson will play this year that can do it, and it’s the best way to test the depth on the D-line and at linebacker. The second is to win the turnover battle while still taking risks. Jacoby Brissett needs to be able to look downfield and complete a few big plays, but the bottom line is that Clemson simply doesn’t allow many points unless it’s on the short field.
