ACC Football Spring Preview: Top 10 questions and storylines
Spring football is in full bloom across the ACC and these are the most pressing questions and storylines to watch for during spring practice.
The Clemson Tigers were the champions of the ACC last year behind the efforts of then-sophomore All-American quarterback Deshaun Watson and a rebuilt defense led by Shaq Lawson, Kevin Dodd and Mackensie Alexander.
Only Watson returns from that foursome so head coach Dabo Swinney and defensive coordinator Brent Venables have work to do this spring.
They won’t be alone as coaches across the ACC have plenty of questions on their hands as spring practices get underway and storylines that will play out well into the fall and beyond.
