Ranking the ACC Units: Quarterback
Riley Skinner has been underrated his whole college career. Wake Forest was one of his only division one offers. The fact is Skinner is one of the best quarterbacks in the ACC. In 2007 he led the nation in completion percentage, and during his career has completed nearly 70% of his passes. Skinner is not overly athletic, but is a good decision maker in Jim Grobes offense, and was part of a 2007 Deac squad that won the ACC. Behind Skinner it's a little thin.

Buyer Beware – The assist-to-turnover ratio is glaring. … Great in the open court, but against disciplined, half-court, defensive-oriented teams, Teague’s one-speed routine could be easily neutralized unless he displays instincts not yet seen. … Late-season collapse calls toughness into question.
