Wake +21 @ Clemson - Deacs blow another shot at a Death Valley win

[awakegirl]

It is just so wake forest that the year our defense finally finds it groove, our offense stinks.

It sucks bc the story of the season should be the improvement on D. Lambert has been all we hoped so far this year IMO. Also happy for our guy James Adams. Instead, we have to be focused on the horrific qb play.

Kern must be terrible in practice.

What are the chances he sucks in practice but is great in games?

Before that first play of the second half there had been one total "explosive play" total in this game: 15 yard run or 20 yard pass lol. Wake obviously has zero.

Looking like we’ll never find out.

The real Clemson shows up finally

 

[deac87]

Clemson makes halftime adjustments and we are on course for a second half blowout. So predictable

 

[UncleTupeloDeac]

Clemson playing like Dabo chewed them out at half.

 

[IAppreciateIt]

It's not contradictory. It's complementary. The playcalling is overly conservative BECAUSE they can't trust Griffis, so we need a QB the staff can trust. Either Griffs needs to become trustworthy or the staff needs to learn to trust a different QB.

If you don’t trust your qb then he shouldn’t be your qb.

yeah undeniable that incompetence at qb is a massive coaching failure. but trying to be aggressive with the pass game would just be doubling down on that

Hold em to 3

I’m curious what it would take for you to lose faith??

If we found a better QB on team. Not sure we have one

What frustrates me is that Griffis has been in the program since summer 2020 and Clawson had confidence based on everything he's done since that he could start at QB. When shown he clearly can't, Clawson spent the bye week building a foolproof offense around Griffis' inability to play instead of giving another QB a chance.

God this is SPOT ON THE TRUTH!!

 

[awakegirl]

Kern must be beside himself btw. Like what would have to happen for him to get the job? Plague?

 

[dreadthedeacs]

Love mustapha.

 

[Wakeforest22890]

Several nice stops by Mustapha holding the ball carrier up at the point of impact

 

[PhDeac]

That tackle is going to look good on Mustapha's NFL draft highlights.

 

[DeacInVermont]

Hold em to 3

A FG pretty much puts this game away, though.

 

[Demonwolverine]

We’ve taken ourselves out of this game, and it all seems to be around Mitch and the coaches not having faith in Mitch.

 

[deac87]

At least we forced them to take 4 minutes + to score. I thought it would come quicker than that

 

[warak]

Great tackle

 

[Wakeforest22890]

Calling timeout to go for it still Dabo? Feels like it.
