Crazy to think we had a great chance to go to 3 straight ACCCG from 06-08. And I'll argue that 09 was the most talented team that Grobe had during his tenure. That 09 team was extremely snake bit. Lost 5 game by a total of 13 points. Oh well, the life of a Wake fan.
09 Wake just didn't have the clutch factor. Wake was riding Skinner too hard, and while his stats reflected a strong season, he was nothing more than a game manager. The lack of a running game (which was all Grobe's fault, as he held Josh Adams back) reminds me of Duke last season when they had a strong 3 headed running monster of Sirk, Shaq and Jela but still decided to throw it 40+ times a game. Also, the defense in 09 wasn't the greatest either, teams ran all over them if memory serves correctly.
