Another Saturday featuring a ranked Wake team playing at home off a bye as a 7 point favorite.
Feel like we need to bring pressure early and often against this cat. Hope to rattle him like Howell was for the first 3 quarters. My guess is his passing stats came against soft coverage while BC was smashing them.
We need to show out offensively, and I think we will. Other than Louisville, we haven't really racked up the points in ACC (and UNC) play. If we don't score at least 4 TDs, I'll be disappointed.
Two of state’s top corners are out for the season which should help. Who will guard Sage?
4 of States top 5 corners are out. We have moved a safety to start at once CB spot. Super young in the back end. Unlike the last few years, think you guys will kill us on the outside compared to the slot this year. Hoping that Leary is as good as I think he can be and keeps us in it.
Don’t want to beat a dead horse but Sage and Scotty should absolutely feast outside. Even against healthy defenses teams haven’t found success in stopping them at all.
Just got on Packer and Durham and asked them to compare Clawson and Doeren’s tenures in the ACC so far. They spent a good 5 minutes talking about each without really comparing them. They did all make sure to point out that Wake is by far the tougher job.
My inner fusion doesn’t have a great feeling about this game for all of the typical Wake reasons (coming off bye, backup QB, heavy favorites, revenge, Louisville turd) but at the end of the day we need to beat the teams we’re supposed to beat. Just get the W.
That is par for the course. Packer spends 15 minutes repeating the same nothing over and over and usually ends it with - 'we will see, that is why they play the games'. How can you be a sports talk show host, when your go to move is - i have no idea, let's just see what happens. Crazy.
And on a related note - who the hell picked the talent for the ACC network? Mark Richt, EJ Manuel, the former lineman from Clemson (?) and the Chris Collinsworth's kid are so freaking boring. That show is like watching paint dry. I don't want the finebaum nuthouse, but at least get someone who is entertaining / the obligatory hot chic.
