To state the obvious: WF is improved. Really happy with the coaching staff; love their energy on the sideline.
Wolford is a solid QB. He is accurate; he has reasonably quick release and he throws a decent deep ball. He is also a better athlete than most give him credit for. Realize it was against a bad FCS team, but that 70 yard run was impressive.
Really happy with the cornerback play. With the loss of two studs, that was a huge concern on D, but they looked very solid. Again, the eval needs to be tempered because the corners were matched up against Elon's receivers, and not FSU's, but still their play was solid. The defense will lead this team again. WF tackles very well.
Running game remains a concern. Still not a big fan of the shotgun running scheme as it takes so long for the backs to start running down hill, and the line didn't get a whole lot of push. I thought the OL did a reasonably good job of pass-blocking, but WF had major problems handling the blitz pickups. The backs were particularly weak at staying on blitzing LBs. Cuse and every other opponent is going to blitz the hell out of our offense until we can make them pay for it. Got to believe that blitz pick up is going to be the major point of emphasis for the O this week.
While the defense was really solid, the pass rush was not great. Even when WF brought additional pressure, we didn't get as much pressure as you would expect against an inferior foe like Elon. Definitely concerned that teams with mature OLs while have a lot of time to throw against us.
As stated above, WF dominated a weak team. While not deserving of a parade, there have been many editions of WF football that would have muddled through an ugly win against Elon. This team did not. Kudos.
Love the direction that the program is going. The team is so young; got to think that the pieces WF is currently missing (pass rush; sturdy OL; mature running game) will develop over the next two years. If WF football was a stock, I would buy.
