If Claiborne finds someone to
uirow ine Dan, uie lerps could be
very productive through the air,
thanks to the talents of tight end
Eric Sievers and wingback Jan
Carinci.
Lineman Jimmy Schaffer and
Marlin Van Horn should steady the
defense.
CLEMSON MAY have lost
nunrtprhjirk SIava Piillpr nnH
receiver Jerry Butler, but the
cupboard is not bare. No fewer
than six Tigers were named to the
pre-season All-ACC team.
The predictea
order of finish:
N.C. State r
.North Carolina
Clemson
Maryland
Wake Forest
Duke
Virginia
Clemson is not ailing in the
running back category. Lester
Brown gained 1,006 yards last
season and Marvin Sims 651.
Billy Lott was the early choice as
Fuller's replacement, and therein
could lie the story of success of
failure for Clemson.
Guard Jeff Bostic is a solo
performer on the offensive line.
Nigerian kicker Obed Ariri made
good on 13 of 24 field goal attempts
lasi season.

Bubba Brown and Deep back Rex
Varn stabilize the Tiger defense.
WAKE FOREST coach John
Mackovic is described by Duke
counterpart Red Wilson as a man
who would "throw the ball all over
the place." Mackovic's affection
for the air game is no secret, but
the Demon Deacons may show a
balanced and potentially explosive
onense.
Tailback James McDougald,
limited to 629 yards rushing last
season, still is one of the ACC's
best runners. Quarterback David
Webber threw for 1,069 yards,
more than any returning conference
quarterback, but the job
belongs to Jay Venuto.
The Deacons have a pair of fine
blockers in Syd Kitson and Bill
Ard, and the defense is

The dissension that marked
Duke's 1978 season has disap
peared with the replacement of
Mike McGee by Wilson. The
successful former Elon coach,
Wilson has busied himself with the
mental aspects of the game, saying
the r.lue Devil players must
believe in themselves to be successful.
DUKE WILL operate with an
untested quarterback in Craig
Browning with the option to switch
to Stanley Driskell. The offense
shows limited experience at some
positions aunougn guard bod
Riordan is clealy one of the ACC's
best linemen.
The defense may be questionable

Deacons, and while these changes
will have no bearing on the conference
race, they could give the
Cavs a couple of much-needed
victories.
ACC writers have affixed N.C.
State alone at the top with North
Carolina, Clemson and Maryland
at the second plateau and Duke,
Virginia and Wake Forest in a
three-way battle to avoid last
place.
