ACC SQUAD - The ACC is Being DISRESPECTED Heading into Week 5

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 21:00:00 GMT

ACC football faces a new level of disrespect as undefeated programs Pitt and Virginia Tech prepare for a historic matchup—yet neither ranks in the AP Top 25. Is national bias holding the ACC back, or are preseason expectations overshadowing on-field results? Miami, Clemson, and Wake Forest all find themselves battling for respect, despite impressive coaching and standout performances from names like Darian Mensah, Tait Reynolds, and Gio Lopez.

The ACC Squad breaks down top storylines, including Miami vs. Clemson’s quarterback duel, Florida State’s must-win against Virginia, and how ACC coaches like Wake Forest’s Dave Clawson are overachieving with limited resources. Key conversations focus on strategic matchups in the trenches, quarterback development, and how rankings politics influence postseason hopes. Which ACC squad will silence the doubters and which program faces a season-defining weekend?

FEARSOME: Duke Football, Nate Sheppard LEAD Impressive ACC Start — Stanford Stopped COLD

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 24 Sep 2026 19:30:00 GMT

Duke Blue Devils charge into ACC play with head coach Manny Diaz’s bold onside kick call and a dominant win over Stanford.

Special teams aren’t left out, as punter Kade Reynoldson's national-leading average gets its due. The duo look ahead to Duke’s matchup against William & Mary, discuss the evolving ACC power rankings, and spotlight under-the-radar storylines—raising the question: how far can this surging Duke squad go in 2026?
