So we're going to talk about what was mostly, mostly not a very good week one for ACC football. There was some games that shouldn't have been as close as they were. There was a game where you had a two touchdown favorite, lose in overtime. And we are going to identify the good, the bad, and the ugly from week one in the ACC. I am Alex Dono alongside Kenton Gibbs.

Starting point is 00:01:20 I'm from Locked on Cains. He's from Locked on Wolfpack. And so, you know, Kenton, obviously, I've got a little pep in my step after the demolition that the Miami Hurricanes put on the Florida Gators. because I kept it, maybe I talked too much to Brandon Olson from Locked on Gators, because I kept hearing Cam Ward is not any good. Miami's defensive secondary is terrible and they're going to get exposed and that they can't handle the environment of the swamp. Instead, Martin Cristobal's team got away with a 41 to 17 butt kicking in Gainesville.

Starting point is 00:01:54 So I'm doing well today. How are you? Look at Donald with his little smug, little smile. Look out of it. Oh, my team's, the only ACC team to look good. But you know what? When you put a shalacking on somebody like that, you deserve.

Starting point is 00:02:08 You deserve the value on a field week one. Only winner against the SEC and its arrival, that's the trifecta right there. That's the, if you play college football 25, that's your ideal pitch right there. So, Donno, you got every right to come on TV. I mean, you got every right to come on there, looking how you look, feeling how you feel,

Starting point is 00:02:26 because you deserve. Cam Ward showed something. Miami showed something. The defensive basketball. Max showed something. The defensive lines showed what we all knew. Apparently, all of the ACC defensive lines aren't liars because I'll tell you what, did Florida not have problems with Hurricane Bain? Did they not have problems with Esedore? Did they not have problems moving the ball at all against this team until Lagway got in and the game was over? So you deserve

Starting point is 00:02:54 to take your victory lap, Donald. You deserve to have your moment in the sun to hit your little pony up then. They hit whatever you want to hit. I know my. Miami like to celebrate so much that they basically rewrote the rule book to stop from celebrating. But damn it, today's your day, Donno. Go ahead. Live it up. My voice still hasn't like fully.

Starting point is 00:03:13 I'd been very hoarse since Saturday evening with all the yelling and all the talking of it. I'm just recovering. But, you know, the first thing, you know, there were a lot of questions. And listen, even I had some questions as to how a team with a lot of important transfers would handle a road environment like Gainesville. And I did say repeatedly leading up to that game. I thought Miami would need to score first and score early to deflate that crowd just a little bit. And lo and behold, first offensive drive from Miami, 11 plays, 84 yards, and a touchdown pass from Cam Ward to the 28-year-old tight end, Cam McCormick, to open up the scoring in the game.

Starting point is 00:03:49 And so there definitely needs to be a conversation about Cam Ward, who had a stellar debut. So Ward actually, from what we can tell, because, you know, the recorded statistics only go back so far. But we think Cam Ward actually set a Miami record in most passing yards in a hurricane's debut as starting quarterback with 385 passing yards. He completed 74% of his passes. And this wasn't like the Graham Mertz, dink and dunk sort of stuff. 298 of his 385 passing yards were on throws that went for 15 or more yards. Some of those were air yards. Some of that was yak, but those were, you know, big plays he was putting on the field.

Starting point is 00:04:35 And, you know, it wasn't a perfect day for Ward, Kenton, because he did throw a first quarter interception that was one of those plays that, you know, we've seen Cam do that at Washington State where he tries to play hero ball a little bit. He was rolling, rolling to the left, threw across his body, tip ball was intercepted. But what I really appreciated was the way he responded from that, because after throwing that interception, now I've got a little TVD PTSD with, you know, Miami's former starting quarterback, Tyler Van Dyke, where we're usually, you know, when the previous hurricane starter would

Starting point is 00:05:11 throw an interception, you're thinking, you know, first quarter interception, there's at least two more of those coming up, right? Ward responded from that interception like a professional. and he was he was even sharper as the game went on. And then, you know, not just Ward, but the entire team, Kenton, because again, I kept hearing about, oh, how are they going to handle that crowd noise and 93,000? Ward actually said after the game that there was more noise in Miami's practices during the week. Like they had the speakers just blasting, you know, artificial crowd noise to simulate it.

Starting point is 00:05:44 So it seemed like Miami was very well prepared for that atmosphere. So I will say a job well. done to Miami's coaching staff because apparently whatever noise they had to deal with in practice was they said louder than what they had to deal with at the swamp. You know what will kill crowd noise? Touchdowns. You know what will kill crowd noise? A big deficit early. That'll kill it. That'll do it. And I'll tell you what. You know what else will kill crowd noise? Letting a tight end from three presidents ago. I'm sorry. Currently two presidents ago. That young man, McCormick,

Starting point is 00:06:23 Obama was in office, okay? Obama was in office when he started his college career. And that is the young man that you let score the first test of? That Florida team ought to be embarrassed to themselves. But back to Miami, I'll tell you what. Cam Ward gave us the full Cam Ward experience, right? You had the play where you're like, oh, he did too much. But then you saw the brilliance.

Starting point is 00:06:46 You saw him put on what looked like a masterclass through the, the air and and he decided to even give us a little bit of a show with his legs on the ground and he's got that ability to where he's so cool and so calm it doesn't look like he's trying hard when he's running in open field sometimes there were multiple runs where it's like is he jogging or is he sprinting yeah there were a couple plays where it's like could he have maybe picked up a couple more yards like like his demeanor he was as calm like as i am when I'm waiting in the checkout line at CBS. Like it was how calm he was.

Starting point is 00:07:24 Well, playing against LinkedIn slash locked on Billy will do that to you. But in all seriousness, in all seriousness, I'm glad that he protect himself because the only critique I walk away from this game with, the only critique, I, the decision making by your boy, Mario Cristobal, I get it. You wanted to get him to 400 passing yards or whatever the case may have been. why was Cam Ward throwing the ball of three to four touchdowns with under five minutes left? What are you doing? Might have been just the,

Starting point is 00:07:57 might have just been the humiliation factor for Florida. But I get it because more dropbacks, more risk for, you know, taking a sack and potentially getting it. I'm with you. Let me tell you. I remember in that fourth quarter.

Starting point is 00:08:08 Yeah, I can remember thinking maybe it's time to bring Emery Williams on the backup quarterback. And not only that, not only that. You've already embarrassed them. The swamp is empty. The 93,000 people that were there. Donno, you were at that game, correct?

Starting point is 00:08:23 So I was in Gainesville. By that time, I had left the stadium so I could do post game from a different location. But yes. And you saw, you saw people filing out at halftime. At half time, folks were filed. You've embarrassed them. You've embarrassed them. Your rival had people leave it because they were like, oh, no, man, this is, this is embarrassing.

Starting point is 00:08:45 At half, you did your job. you won once the game is away i'm not even mad at him still being in the game i understand that why is he throwing the ball he took a hit late where i was just like now if that was the one where something goes all of a sudden you're being called the biggest idiot on on plan where is the clock management coach where is he at is he hey mario uh statistically actually the the clock the clock management was not a problem. So I think the clock management coach, no, I'm saying, I'm saying from a standpoint of you've got to be situationally aware. I'm joking, of course, because the clock manager coach ain't responsible for this, but you've got to be situationally aware to know, hmm, okay. So if we get

Starting point is 00:09:30 the ball and if we have three, three and out straight, where all we do is run the ball, drive out, you know, let's say 40 seconds per play, which would equal what, about two minutes per drive, just about. Yeah, okay. It's five minutes left. We have enough time for that. We have enough time to kill it like that. You know, but again, that is a very nitpicky thing, but it

Starting point is 00:09:55 is another decision by Mario where you're looking up saying what's going on there. But again, phenomenal performance, fantastic performance. That's me being nitpicky. All in all that team look, dominant and amazing. Yeah, and it's like, obviously, like, anything you bring up after a 41 to 17 win

Starting point is 00:10:12 is going to feel nitpicky, However, I can understand it because I'm a big fan of Cam Ward as both the quarterback and a human being. So when it comes to keeping him protected, I can respect that critique. All right, I can respect it. But it was a very good performance from Miami. There were some pretty good performances in the ACC, including an individual performance of brilliance from a receiver on the NC State Wolfpack, who it's like, dude, It is one of my favorite players in the conference. That was very good from Casey Concepcion.

Starting point is 00:10:46 We'll talk about it. There was also some bad, like a Hokies team favored by 13 and a half points that did that in Vanderbilt. At Vanderbilt, I should say, in Nashville. And then there was whatever that was from the Clemson Tigers offense. That was the ugly. We're going to talk all about it on this episode of Lockdown ACC. We're only getting started. You want to keep it locked.

Folks, make sure for your next listen. You check out the other awesome shows that Kenton and I do. He co-hosts Locked on Wolfpack talking everything NC State.

Starting point is 00:12:34 I host Locked on Cain's talking everything, Miami. It's been a fun last couple of days. Hopefully that ride continues throughout the season because it's a marathon, right? One game does not make an entire season. So, you know, Kenton, again, I'm not putting this one in the bad or the ugly category when it comes to NC State's fourth quarter surge against Western Carolina. I think we were both expecting, though, four quarters of dominance rather than one quarter of dominance. And yes, three touchdown performance from Casey Concepcion was brilliant. And he is a problem for every team on NC State schedule.

Starting point is 00:13:12 but how did you feel about the entirety of those four quarters? So let me say this. And I know some people are going to say this as you use your homer glasses, but trust me, go listen to Locked on Wolfpack. I read them their rights after the game and listen to the episode that will release at the same time as this one, because I'm not done yet. But with that being said,

Starting point is 00:13:34 Western Carolina came away with a first quarter lead of 14 to 7. The rest of that game, NC State won 31 to 7. So don't get me wrong. Don't get me wrong. I am not saying that NC State played a good four quarters. They played a complete game. I am not saying that. But I am saying that their struggles feel a little bit overblown because of the expectations

Starting point is 00:13:55 around that team, which is fair, which is fair. I'm a firm believer in the worst thing you can be in this world is a man with no expectations. Things are expected of NC State now. There was an expectation of a four quarter domination, which did not happen, outside of a young man by the name of Kevin Kiseption. But I want to extend. it. If you watch that game, the entire

Starting point is 00:14:14 receiving court was running open all night long. I have the same concerns about NC State that I have about Florida State because what was supposed to be your strength is looking like a weakness. The running game not getting going in a way that people thought it would whatever. That's

Starting point is 00:14:30 fine. NC State's running game has always had some funky things going on outside of back when they had Ricky Persons and Bam Knight. And to go back further than that Gillespie and days and company. That was the best that the running game was.

Starting point is 00:14:47 But my problem with that offense is the strength was supposed to be you have a quarterback that's going to be on time, on target. In that first half, Bracely McCall was neither one of those things. He was neither one. And out route being intercepted because you threw it about five feet wide of the receiver. Is you cool? Are you okay? What's going on?

Starting point is 00:15:09 It was a little bit disappointing there. but they ultimately did get it together, and I'll tell you, KC was on the receiving end of a ton of really, really great moments, and he was making things happen with the ball in his hands. But listen to Tom Lugan Bill talk about that game and how things went down, and there was just, you know, in that game, Grayson McCall was much maligned and rightfully so. Because if he hits all of those receivers in stride,

Starting point is 00:15:35 Keenan Jackson was going to go bang his head on the goalposts on a bang eight. you had a moment where Noah Rogers, if you hit him on an en route in stride, he goes for six. You had a moment with Resley Brines where the same thing had happened. And Dakari Collins was,

Starting point is 00:15:51 his releases have gotten exponentially better from last year because any quarter that thought about present him, congratulations. The press didn't work. It just, it wasn't there. So I'm looking at this squad and I'm saying, oh, and I didn't even talk about Jolie, who showed why he was the tackle breaking his tight end

Starting point is 00:16:08 in America last year with a duke move, that juke move hurt my ankles. I'm sitting at home. And I said, boy, that's intense. So I'm disappointed there. But I want to say, I believe this team can get it turned around. It's always better to learn a lesson in the win than a loss. Yeah. No, that is 1,000% accurate.

Starting point is 00:16:28 And so, yeah, I didn't, I wanted to talk a little bit about that game. I don't put that in the bad or the ugly category. No, no. Here's the one that I put into the bad category. Virginia Tech. Okay, so they, they let Vanderbilt enjoy a 17-point lead. Now, they did erase that 17-point deficit, get the game to overtime. You know, unfortunately, you, Kyron Drones was cramping in the OT.

Starting point is 00:16:55 He had to be replaced at Diego Pavia, the starting quarterback, who, you know, by the way, we owe Corey Burton an apology. So we did a crossover late last week with the host of Lockdown Bandi, And you and I were both like, yeah, Virginia Tech's definitely going to win. They're probably going to cover the 13 and a half point spread. They did neither of those things. Vandy with the clutch overtime win at home. And, you know, this looks like I was talking with Corey over the weekend.

Starting point is 00:17:22 And he told me this is really like the best that they feel about it. And again, I know this is all just one game, but that was a big win for Vandy. This is like the best that they're feeling there about the character of their team since James Franklin was coaching there. that they're really, really getting bullish on how this build is going. But from the Virginia Tech point of view, you know, anytime you miss an opportunity to beat an SEC opponent, especially when you were absolutely supposed to beat, you know, the Hokies, and we were very high on the Hokies heading into the season, Kenton, and obviously they still have all their ACC games in front of them, but this is a huge step backwards.

Starting point is 00:18:00 This told me that this Virginia Tech team is not ready. they're not ready for the big moment. They're not ready for prime time because you're not ready for the little moments. Primetime games are not built in that prime time moment. Primetime games are built because your team is 5 and 06 and 05 in 1, 8 and 1, whatever the case may be late in the season because they took care of business against lesser opponents. This Virginia Tech team is not ready for that. I saw a team in an unfinished stadium that still had construction.

Starting point is 00:18:33 going on. No atmosphere whatsoever. Dono, me and you have been louder in this episode than Vanderbilt fans were during that damn game. Especially you. I barely have a voice left today, but you're carrying me. And somehow, Tyron Drones struggles to get beyond his first read

Starting point is 00:18:55 in the first half. You're getting pushed around up front, offensively and defensively. And all of Virginia Tech fans said that I was oversell telling how bad they were against the run. Hmm. Hmm. It's, I am so disappointed in that Virginia Tech team because you made, you made a fool of me nationally.

Starting point is 00:19:18 In the words of Shannon Shaw, I want my restitution. I want my restitution. I sat up there on college football, on locked on college football. It said, Virginia Tech is a team to watch. They're a team to watch out for because Kairon Drones is who he is. because that defensive backfield is so special, because this is a team returning all that production. And you go and lay an egg in Nashville?

Starting point is 00:19:45 I can see if you had old Rocky Top Tennessee and you lay an egg. Sure. I ain't mad at you. That's a good team. They got a top 10 pick over there, probably too, and Nico and Pierce. Hey, I get it.

Starting point is 00:19:59 That Vanderbilt team is filled with accountants, lawyers and doctor. Those young men are going to have to get their LinkedIn ready after they're done in a year or so. Some of them will probably be executives at LinkedIn. Executives. Yes. Yes. They'll be doing business development and selling us ads at LinkedIn.

Starting point is 00:20:23 And you lose to them. Disappointing, nasty. And on most weeks, Virginia Tech, you would get the ugly. You better thank your lucky stars that there's a man down in South Carolina that's so bullish on his offense, he bought in a star in the coaching ranks just to keep up the foolishness and the top fool. You're lucky Virginia Tech. I'll tell you, Gary, he might be on LinkedIn pretty soon. And we're going to talk about because, listen, Virginia Tech was the bad. Clemson was the ugly.

Starting point is 00:22:34 episode of Lockdowne ACC, your first listen and your first watch today. Folks, make sure you're checking out Lockdown College Football. Spencer McLaughlin does an awesome He's had plenty to talk about it. By the way, Spencer, we were texting with Spencer during that Virginia Tech game because I think like us, and especially like you, because you were even more bullish on the Hokies, I think, than I was in that specific bandy game. Spencer was like, man, Virginia Tech better, they better come back or we're all going to sound like morons.

Starting point is 00:23:02 And so, yeah, I guess the Hokies didn't do us any favors. But even worse, now, you know, I got to be careful with the way that I set up this, this Clemson loss. Georgia 34 to 3 against Clemson. Kenton, in no way shape or form did either of us think Clemson was going to win the football game, right? I mean, they're going up against the arguably the best team in the entire country. I mean, Georgia is absolutely stacked. We knew there would be a talent discrepancy.

Starting point is 00:23:29 We expected Georgia to win and potentially win big. But what I take issue with, and you hinted at this, just the offensive ineptitude by the Clemson Tigers. Now, I thought, hey, when they were down 6-0 at halftime, I thought, you know what, that's not a terrible spot to be in because you're right there with the most talented team in the country. But the offense never got going for Clemson, 188 yards of total offense, three points, which means zero touchdowns put on the scoreboard. We were supposed to see some sort of an improvement and some sort of an evolution from that, in theory, very well-coached offense by Garrett Riley.

Starting point is 00:24:10 and, you know, a Kate Klupnik who struggled last year, but hey, heading into another year of continuity in that offense, we should have gotten more than what we saw from the Tigers on Saturday. I'm going to say this, and I'm going to touch the viewership shoulders, particularly those in South Carolina. Donald may not have seen this coming. I did.

Starting point is 00:24:31 I knew exactly what was on the way. I knew exactly what was on the way, because K. Klubnick is not, good at playing football. Let's start there. Let's move forward. Actually, let me not even, let me, let me, let me rewrite. Dabo Sweeney is not good at putting together offensive game plans in college football. His game plan relies on his guys being so much more talented than everybody else that it works out regardless, which works when you're playing Boston College. Sure. Right.

Starting point is 00:25:11 It also, it worked in 2019 when Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It worked when it worked. Travis E.T.N. Walking through that door. Trevor Lawrence ain't walking through that door.

Starting point is 00:25:26 Deshaun Watson, thank God, ain't walking through that door. I'm sorry to tell you. I don't understand how people are confused by this because everything in this game happened the exact way that I thought it would. Donno, who was the receiver for their longest play of the game? Don't worry. I got the answer.

Starting point is 00:25:52 It was Williams. The guy that I said is the only game changer on that squad. Donald, how did Moppa look as the lead back? Did he look good? Did he do anything special? No. No, he did not. longest carry of nine, 3.7 yards per carry, very pedestrian.

Starting point is 00:26:14 Hmm. And I know the excuse is going to be that's Georgia. They're going to do that to everybody this year. I am willing to bet a dollar to your dime that over half the teams that they play score a touchdown against them, a singular touchdown. Or at least two field goals, at least two field goals. This team struggled to cross the 50 yard line. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:26:40 What foolishness. What an embarrassment. Please. And here's the thing that blows me the worst about this. And I hate to take it back here to off the field because we now have one of the field stuff going. But Clemson fans were saying, well, this game shows why they need to be in the SEC because when they get more money, they'll be better and more equipped to keep up. Right. Florida State lost to Georgia Tech.

Starting point is 00:27:08 If this Florida State need more money to be Georgia Tech, is Georgia Tech reigning over them in terms of finances, I know? No, they are not. If we were to quantify the money discrepancy from school to school, is Georgia's 31 point? If we were to break it down and say, hey, the average score based on how many millions you spend, you think the difference between Clemson and Georgia right now

Starting point is 00:27:30 would equal 30-some odd points? I'll tell you what. Dabo knew what he was doing. I told everybody he knows what he's doing and blocking those callers. He knows what he's doing because he knows what he has coming. He knows what's coming down the pipe. And look what happened. What a disappointment. They put on the worst show, embarrassed the ACC nationally with that performance. Terrible, useless, veckless. That's what that offense is right now. And if they don't get it together,

Starting point is 00:28:01 like I predicted to start this thing off, we have a nine win or worst season incoming out of South Carolina. Yeah. By the way, teams that are. are suing the ACC are winless so far, so far this season. They're 0 for two. Well, we'll see what happens Monday night with Florida State and Boston College. And also like to add some context to what you're saying, here's why that Clemson performance, and again, I wasn't expecting a win, but that Clemson performance was a little disheartening to me because entering the weekend, Clemson were the betting favorites to win the conference. Miami now is, right? But Clemson, Clemson were the favorites to win the ACC heading into the weekend.

Starting point is 00:28:42 And so what is disheartening is because there seemed to be less of a separation last season based on the head-to-head records, ACC versus SEC. But you're telling me, the team that is favored to win the SEC, that's Georgia, is really 31 points and that many yards better than the team that was favored to win the ACC. That's why that was a – Clemson gave the entire conference a bad look on set. No question about it. Yes.

Starting point is 00:29:09 A very black eye. And again, you know, when you look at that game and how it transpired, Clemson didn't look like they were a terrible team the entire game. So let's give them credit. First half, they fought the good fight, hung around. I believe that at halftime there was what a six point deficit or something. Six nothing. Six nothing.

Starting point is 00:29:30 Yeah, it was six nothing. That's what I'm saying. They hung around. They need to be as serious about their offense. as they are about their defense. Bingo. Period. Period.

Starting point is 00:29:42 The defense has evolved. The defense has gone from what Brent Venables was running to something new and different. And they continue to be competitive defensively. But guess what? Your defense can only do but so much, baby. Your defense can, and I'm going to tell you, one of the worst signs that your defense is, they're set to start crumbling is when coaches are saying things like this in meetings.

Starting point is 00:30:07 Well, if the offense ain't going to score, we got to score for them. What? Yeah, that's never good. That's a risky proposition defensively. That means involving a level of risk that should not exist. So with that in mind, this Clemson team is unsurious and will be unsyrous until Davo decides to do something about that offense. Point blame period.
