Here are some of the best quotes from around the ACC this past week:

  • NC State coach Tom O’Brien taking a jab at the Tar Heels' academic scandal on his weekly radio show: “We do go to class here at NC State. We have syllabuses and we have instructors that show up, so they’d (the players) better be there.”  
  • Maryland coach Randy Edsall after giving the team's lengthy injured list: “Just work the guys that are out there, that’s all we can do. Football is a game where you do have injuries and it’s something that you can’t control.”
  • Virginia coach Mike London, on Twitter, shortly after the school got a commitment from five star RB Taquan Mizzell: “Things are heating up in Hooville!!! Iron Sharpens Iron #UVA #GoHoos #ACC”
  • Duke coach David Cutcliffe, on Twitter, after the Blue Devils failed to get a vote in the AP preseason poll for the 51st consecutive week: “Fans that want playoffs should demand preseason polls r done away with. First votes should b after week 2!!”
  • North Carolina coach Larry Fedora on the team’s skit night: “Depending on whose skit was first that’s who got to go to snack first. Everything’s about a competition.”

  • Duke S Jeremy Cash on Twitter, after learning the NCAA turned down his appeal to play this season, after transferring from Ohio State: “Just shed a few tears. I know I will overcome this adversity and help my team win in anyway I can.”
