Four things we learned about our Coastal Division adversaries after opening week

That’s right. Four things we learned from just one game into the season. And yes, there’s a thing or two to be discovered here.

Opening week for the Coastal Division featured blowouts and close shaves of all sorts. Teams like Duke, Georgia Tech and the Hurricanes pummeled their lesser non-conference opponents. But North Carolina, Pittsburgh, Virginia and Virginia Tech stumbled out of the gate. Here we'll sift through the muck and mire and see if we can't get a better read on our Coastal opposition.

Foremost, injuries have taken its toll on our conference foes. Whether that's Pittsburgh's loss of 2014 ACC Player of the Year James Conner for the season or Michael Brewer's game altering absence, it's never easy to handle.
