Staff writer J.P. Giglio assesses the ACC's projected starting QBs:

BOSTON COLLEGE

CHRIS CRANE

Either Crane or newcomer Codi Boek have the unenviable task of replacing Matt Ryan.

CLEMSON

CULLEN HARPER

Senior threw 27 touchdowns and six interceptions in his first season as a starter in 2007.

DUKE

THADDEUS LEWIS

Ten of the junior's 21 touchdowns in 2007 covered 25 yards or more.

FLORIDA STATE

DREW WEATHERFORD

Had twice as many touchdowns (18) as a freshman than as a junior (nine).

GEORGIA TECH

JOSH NESBITT

Taylor Bennett transferred to Tulane, leaving the mobile Nesbitt to run Paul Johnson's option offense.

MARYLAND

CHRIS TURNER

Jordan Steffy or Josh Portis might take his spot, but Turner is the best passer of the group.

MIAMI

ROBERT MARVE AND JACORY HARRIS

Randy Shannon said both will play; neither has taken a college snap.

UNC

T.J. YATES

Only Harper and Matt Ryan threw for more yards in 2007.

N.C. STATE

DANIEL EVANS

As many as five quarterbacks could start, but Evans has the experience.

VIRGINIA

PETER LALICH

With the dynamic Jameel Sewell academically ineligible, the Hoos will depend on the running game.

VIRGINIA TECH

SEAN GLENNON AND TYROD TAYLOR

Complementary parts worked well together in the second half of the season.

WAKE FOREST

RILEY SKINNNER

Third year as starter, junior needs to cut down on his interceptions (13).
