\nIt was another wild weekend in the Atlantic Coast Conference, and the latest episode<\/a> of This Week In The ACC<\/em> didn\u2019t hold back. Hosts Jeff<\/a> and Matthew<\/a> welcomed back guest Brian Seigla<\/a>, co-host of the Boundary Corner Virginia Tech podcast, to sort through the highs and lows of Week 2.<\/p>\n

Virginia Tech Struggles Dominate the Conversation<\/h2>\n

No program needed a win more than Virginia Tech, but instead, the Hokies delivered what Brian bluntly called a \u201cdumpster fire\u201d of a second half. In a game that Brent Pry arguably had to win to stabilize his job security, Tech collapsed at home to an SEC opponent. The result? An angry fan base, renewed questions about Pry\u2019s future, and the prospect of a long ACC season in Blacksburg.<\/p>\n

Clemson Concerns and Florida State\u2019s Steady Hand<\/h2>\n

Elsewhere, Clemson raised red flags after trailing Troy 16\u20133 at halftime. Although the Tigers stormed back, Jeff and Matthew both agreed that the early struggles spotlight deeper issues, especially with Georgia Tech looming. On the flip side, Florida State impressed with its businesslike win, avoiding the letdown many feared after a big Week 1.<\/p>\n

What to Watch in the ACC Week 3<\/h2>\n

Looking forward, Brian circled Clemson\u2013Georgia Tech as the must-see game of the week, with both programs still searching for their true identity. Miami, despite its top-five ranking, could be on upset alert against a South Florida team riding high after back-to-back wins over ranked opponents. The crew also highlighted national matchups like Texas A&M at Notre Dame, with playoff implications already hanging in the balance.<\/p>\n

The episode wrapped with raw honesty from Brian about Virginia Tech\u2019s trajectory. From buyout talk to possible interim fixes, it\u2019s clear that the Hokies\u2019 football future is at a crossroads.<\/p>\n
