The Official Fire Lyle Hemphill Into the Sun (Durham) Thread

The defense was not 42 points bad tonight
 
Not sure who gets the credit for getting our young DBs ready but Roberts, Mustapha and Slocum all played very well yesterday against a big and talented set of receivers. After UNC, was expecting the worst from the secondary, and that group stepped up.
 
I still can’t believe we were up 21-6 with under 2 minutes in the half and were losing 15 seconds into the second half, even after putting 3 points on the board. That’s…hard to do.
 
Biggest difference was stopping the run. NC State had less than 75 yards rushing. Last week they allowed more than that in 1 quarter.
 
Hard to say the defense played well. But they played better and that’s going to be good enough most weeks.

With the offense Wake has, the defense just needs to be decent or better, just can't be woefully bad. This week they hit that level. Two of NC State's TDs were from special teams breakdowns.

I mean the defense gives up 2 touchdowns and 2 field goals in 10 possessions in the 1st half but if we don't have that long kick off return it probably takes state the rest of the 1st half to get into position to score even one touchdown and we have a 3 and out on top of that after their score

And then after the kick return we held them scoreless on 3 additional possessions before the 2 touchdowns on the last 2 possessions 1 which was aided by a short field.

Mustapha was a beast last night - lost count of the number of times that his name was called.

This. Roberts should play ahead of Keith IMO.
 
that 4th quarter defense was hot garbage though
 
D looked good when Greer was in. D looked bad again once Greer went out. It’s that simple. Our whole season D has basically been that way.

Yes and no. D looked ok without him until we got back in prevent and only rushed three.
