Tudor: ACC quarterbacks untested

Posted Aug 21, 2011
It's been years since the ACC has gone through a season of quarterback chaos, but the components are in place for that sort of disorder in 2011. It starts with an approaching wave of inexperienced starters. Four of the league's top five top-rated quarterbacks from 2010 have exited. Three - Tyrod Taylor (Virginia Tech to the Baltimore Ravens), T.J. Yates (UNC to Houston Texans) and Christian Ponder (Florida State to Minnesota Vikings) - are in NFL preseason camps.
