Interesting article from Scout.com that talks about the top 25 QB battles this spring. Something I didn’t realize is that 7 of the 12 ACC teams will have unsettled QB situations. Here’s what they said about NC State

20. NC State – Marcus Stone began 2006 as the starter, but he’s now a tight end, leaving junior Daniel Evans, sophomore Harrison Beck and redshirt freshman Justin Burke to battle it out to see who’ll be Tom O’Brien’s first quarterback in Raleigh. Evans looked like the future for the Pack after engineering upsets of O’Brien’s Eagles and Florida State, but regressed badly down the stretch. While he doesn’t have a cannon, his maturity and leadership skills could be a nice match with Dana Bible and the basic pro-style offense. Remember Beck? He was the original Mitch Mustain whose quick exit from Nebraska was accompanied by some ridiculously inane comments from his mom. Assuming he’s matured, Beck has the best skill set of any State quarterback, and is someone the program can build around for the next three years. Burke will likely open at third string, but should not be taken lightly. The former record-setting quarterback from Kentucky was one of the most coveted pocket passer of the Class of 2006.
Prediction: Beck

Don’t forget the Red and White game is this Sat. April 14th and from what I hear there is actually going to be a game, rather than just drills that Chuck used to run on RW day. It should be a great chance for Pack fans to see Beck in action and really see if he can live up to the hype. Same goes for Justin Burke.

and for those who care, here is the UNC post

21. North Carolina – Senior Joe Dailey and sophomore Cam Sexton got a chance to run John Bunting’s offense in 2006 and failed miserably, combining to throw 11 touchdowns to a whopping 18 picks. Dailey will be tried at wide receiver this spring, further clearing the path for incoming blue-chip freshman Mike Paulus to have an immediate impact on the Tar Heel offense. The 6-5, 220-pound hurler is physically ready to compete, but needs to pick up the offense without the benefit of spring practice and prove to new coordinator John Shoop that he can limit his mistakes. Even if Sexton holds down the fort for the first few weeks, you’ll see lots of Paulus before too long.
Prediction: Paulus
