based on his ranking, 7 ACC teams fall in the bottom 25 in the nation in experience.

It's interesting that ND and BC are ranked so low. Maybe the future is bright for those 2.

It seems like Miami's primary core of players is much younger than the national average.

Duke's a junior, Yearby is a sophomore (?), Kaaya a freshman... and that's just in the backfield.

I'm surprised UNC is ranked as high as they are. They only have 2 seniors on the offense two deep roster and 5 on the defense.

We're real young... Next year was the year we were looking at being a good year.

That's compared to the rest of the ACC. Nationally the team is pretty young.

Doubt Duke Johnson will be back for his Senior year...RB shelf life is very short.
