ACC Coastal is the Hokies to lose
Posted May 9, 2009
With a healthy trio of Hakeem Nicks, Brandon Tate and T.J. Yates, UNC wins the Coastal in '08 (no really). Only Yates is available in '09 and he's already hurt, playing frisbee no less. UNC's defense will be good and Butch Davis will find new talent at receiver, just not in the class of Nicks or Tate. The schedule is too easy not to win eight games, seven at worst, but the Heels are not good enough to surpass the Hokies.
