Two years after his tenure as Duke Blue Devils coach ended, David Cutcliffe got to visit with many of his former players and watch them practice as any hard feelings faded away.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) â North Carolina linebacker Jeremiah Gemmel wants to make every possible stop. He also knows itâs not that easy when working out against Heisman Trophy candidate Sam Howell, and he makes sure to pull aside frustrated defensive teammates to tell them so.
âNot every quarterback in the ACC can throw like that,â Gemmel said he tells them.
Maybe not, but the challenges likely wonât get much easier on game days either considering the wealth of starting experience returning at quarterback throughout the Atlantic Coast Conference. In all, 13 of 14 teams return a quarterback with starting experience, with Duke the exception.
