Stefon Diggs Isn't Winning The Heisman This Year... I'm Sorry.

We all had a great time with Pete's piece that Stefon Diggs was going to win the Heisman. I did, you did, we all did.

Unfortunately for all of us, Maryland is too far off the national radar to begin the season for Diggs' candidacy to be met with any real merit. I don't want to hear that Robert Griffin III and Baylor came out of nowhere and went 10-3, en route to his Heisman Trophy

When it comes to Alex Len, you either love him or you’re very meh about him.

ACC Championship Odds: Clemson and Florida State the Favorites

Source: Testudo Times by Nicko Duchesne

The online sports book 5dimes has released their NCAA football odds for the 2013 season, with Maryland in the middle of the pack of teams vying for the ACC championship. The Terps were given 50-1 odds to win the conference title game in December, a feat they haven’t accomplished since 2001. Last year, 5dimes had Maryland with the second lowest odds in the conference, ahead of only Duke.

Atlantic division foes Clemson and Florida State, who both posted 7-1 conference records and lopsided November wins over Maryland in 2012, are tied as the favorites. Duke and Wake Forest are down in the basement as the long shots.

In a nice move, the game decided to include both the Black Ops and White Ops, two uniforms that were each worn just once but were fan favorites. The black Maryland Pride uniforms that debuted last season will also be an option for users, as well as the classic red jersey, white pants and white jersey, red pants combos.

Black pants don't make an appearance outside of the Black Ops uniforms, despite Maryland wearing them with both red and white jerseys in 2012. Other uniforms the Terps wore that were left out are the white Maryland Pride unis and red jerseys with red

There is big-time talent here, so much so that Phil Steele has ranked this group No. 7 in the nation (and tops in the ACC). The headliner, of course, is defensive end James Gayle, who had a huge spring and won Defensive MVP honors.

The Big 33 Classic is one of the most heralded high school football all-star games along the East Coast. For the last 12 years, the game pitted two teams that were made up of players from Pennsylvania and Ohio. However in October 2012, it was announced that Maryland would replace Ohio in the annual contest. This was the first time that Maryland had appeared in the game since 1992. Maryland played the Keystone State from 1985 to 1992 before making their

Ranking the ACC in recruiting

Source: ACC Football Blog

This is where ACC fans get understandably confused. You see, the ACC recruits very well. Signing Day is one of the most anticipated days of the football calendar for ACC fans, especially at Florida State and Clemson. The ACC is also a factory for NFL draft picks. It's what happens in between -- or, more accurately, doesn't happen -- that has the ACC consistently looking up at the SEC, Big 12, Pac-12 and Big Ten in the eyes of many. The recent conference rankings from ESPN's RecruitingNation and Phil Steele are further evidence that something is missing in the ACC, that for some reason, all of that recruiting talent has yet to translate into something bigger during the season.

It’s OK, ACC fans. You don’t have to agree with everything we write. Just most of it. Such was the case with the recent “most important game” series, where colleague Andrea Adelson and I picked the make-or-break game on the schedule for each school in the ACC and then narrowed the choices to five for you to cast your vote. We only disagreed on the key game for four teams -- Duke, Miami, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest. One of the more interesting debates was over Pitt, as the votes were close between the season opener against Florida State and the game against the Hokies, but the Coastal Division clash won out over the Labor Day game.
