August 02, 2019

Jim Quist @ACCTheQ -

On the week's episode of ACC Nation Podcast we continue the 'Voices Of' football previews. The play-by-play voices of North Carolina and Miami, Jones Angell and Joe Zagacki give us an insider's view of the Tar Heels and Hurricanes football programs. As always, we take a look at ACC sports news. This week there's a key retirement at Virginia Tech. And, we'll tell you what preseason polls to expect in the coming weeks.

In addition, we eavesdropped on a Notre Dame football presser with Brian Kelly. The head coach of the Irish talked about what quarterback Ian Book is doing to elevate his game.

Read more about the 'surprise' (to fans at least) departure of one of Virginia Tech's mainstays from among the coaching ranks.

Seventeen ACC soccer players have been named to the MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List. Read more.
