Therefore, it is important to put a tough loss behind you, very quickly and move forward. Losses, at the time of the year, should not bring you down because there is another game to be played, right away. Steve Robinson s team had been playing well, winning three of their last four. Our next two ACC contests will be on the road, beginning with Georgia Tech, this Saturday. Life on the road is never easy, but the ACC is better this season, from top to bottom, so the road will be even more challenging.
Experience is a big part of the strong conference showing, in non-league action.
In the past few years we have seen Duke, Maryland and North Carolina being consistently good. Now the other programs, which have many returning players, are making an impact. This season in non-league action, our conference did not have those unexpected losses . That is something that had happened, every season for the past five or six years. If you look at the standings, only FSU is below .500.
