The College Football Analyst for Stadium joined Kyle Bailey today on the Clubhouse to preview the big matchups this weekend in the ACC from Clemson hosting Miami to Virginia Tech traveling to Chapel Hill to challenge North Carolina.
The first thing that Michael discussed was the Clemson-Miami game as he told Kyle that he agrees that this is where Clemson plays their best in games with a lot of hype, but Michael says that Miami is not one of those elite teams. Michael said what hurts Miami is that they love explosive plays on offense and he points out that Clemson struggles more when the opposing offense is more methodical with the ball.
Kyle then asked what he thinks will be the biggest key in the North Carolina-Virginia Tech game as Michael stated:
"I think it's going to be on the pass protection for North Carolina. Devonte Williams and Michael Carter are going to have to do pass-pro a lot this weekend with the pressure that the Hokies can bring. Protecting the QB is going to be most important thing especially with a Tar Heel offensive line that is banged up."
Michael was asked by Kyle before the end of the conversation what is the most interesting game out of the ACC this week as Michael told Kyle it's Mississippi State vs. Kentucky because he wants to see what Mike Leach's offense does after coming back down to earth against Arkansas, and Michael knows the Wildcats are frustrated with an 0-2 start.
