Narduzzi has been pretty blunt about his team's lack of success in 2023.
"We didn't have many sacks." *Points to his defensive reps that came with him* "We didn't, right?"

The theme with the players and the coaches from the podium is renewed energy.
After a 3-9 season, I'm sure they'd like some new life.

If the bottom dwellers of the ACC had half a brain they would approve uneven revenue sharing.

I'm heading to the breakout room soon. I aim to get more Clemson-specific content from each player and ask them about the matchup in November. Stay tuned.

I talked to Pittsburgh TE Gavin Bartholomew about the Clemson matchup:
He told me he distinctly remembers the win in 2021 against Clemson that propelled them to the ACC Championship.
Bartholomew mentioned how he expects Pittsburgh and Clemson to be at the top of the conference in November.

CB Donovan McMillon, who transferred to Pittsburgh in 2023, told me he grew up an FSU fan.
He said he's very familiar with the history of Clemson, mentioning how many times he's agonized over a Clemson loss in the past.

Pat Narduzzi went on a mini-rant about signal stealing in college football and how helmet communication should go a long way to prevent some of that.

He says Virginia Tech's entrance is the best in college football.

Old Dominion has the best in the State of Virginia, from what I hear. Not really, I just like bringing them up to Hokies. 😉

Brent Pry mentioned earlier he believes this could be Virginia Tech's best receiving corps as of late.
Kyron Drones added that this group has a chance of being one of the top offenses in the country.

VT finished 2023, winning four out of its last six.
A theme with the questions asked is how they handle lofty expectations.
Also, Brent Pry's energy is incredible.

Virginia Tech CB Dorian Strong:
"It is nice to get pats on the back, but you gotta move past it. The love or the hate that comes, you can't dwell on it."
The group reads as quietly confident in making another jump within the conference this year.

VT CB Dorian Strong is one of the last remaining players who experienced the COVID season in 2020.
He told the room he learned a lot about himself and that playing in empty stadiums allowed him to focus on his development early in his career.

Stanford QB Ashton Daniels is close with QB Cade Klubnik, and the pair have bragging rights on the line for the late September matchup.

When asked about the initial adjustment to the ACC, Stanford LB Tristan Sinclair had this to say:
"It was a little bizarre. I would be lying if I didn't say so."
