Notre Dame - 12:00 - ABC

Any word from his post game comments?
 
Exactly. I've never been deluded into thinking any of Clawson's teams have been great or even very good for that matter. However, we always looked prepared.
What also concerns me is player development. We have/had one of the most seasoned offensive lines in the conference and were supposed to be very strong in that area.
We look like we did when Clawson got here. Very porous line, missed blocking assignments and SLOOOOW play development even with the RPO.

Hope Dave can pull things together and salvage this season and get us 6 wins. It's possible but not very likely from what he's put on the field thus far this season.

I think the slow read is on Hartman. That will improve with experience.

Rice, Louisville, FSU I’ve penciled in as wins (not in pen). Not sure where the 6th comes from.

Nothing stellar on post game interview. Goren didn’t really press on QB questions. Same frustrations on D through 4 games. Really frustrated that we didn’t get off blocks to make tackles downfield. We prepared to not lose to the deep ball then they adjusted. Continues to be more involved with defensive coaching.

Our LBs look like they are made of velcro and just stick to offensive linemen
 
That team today isn't a sure bet to beat anybody else on the schedule besides Rice.

Our back seven can’t defend the deep ball and short passing and run game at the same time.
 
Wake is alright. We will play well in other games. Today you saw the difference between big-time top level football and lower tiered programs. The resources and facilities at the biggest football programs just creates a huge recruiting, etc. advantage. Wake has that advantage over Tier 3 teams, particularly non Power 5 teams. Just not very realistic to expect Wake to play the biggest programs evenly.

Basketball is a different story.

When your defenders are 4" and 50 lbs lighter than the guys they are covering and they get an extra 3-4 yards after first contact, it's not going to be a good day.

Nobody has 6’5” 245 lb safeties and corners
 
You and I both. Not just safeties and corners, across the board. Too many times our guys were in position to make the tackle and got bowled over.

I agree that they are terrible at getting off blocks for some reason.
 
Hey we made USAToday for sending the FG unit on the field w/o the kicker!! Just an example of how the whole day went. Poor performance by the team and the coaching staff. Bad all around

A few years ago wake had a very good defense and pretty much no offense.

Just need both at the same time. It could happen.
 
Thank God this wasn’t a prime time game
 
Lol at people on here making ND out to be a juggernaut. They should have lost to Vandy at home and barely beat Ball St. Our defense, outside of Rutgers, might be the worst in P5.
