Don't forget Skinner's drive against duke in his first start. That drive, and the field goal block by Chip Vaughn that immediately followed it, spurred us on to the greatest season in wake football history."The Drive" by Skinner vs Ole Miss, Price's 4th Q drive vs unc and now Jamie Newman with 90 seconds and no timeouts vs State.
Newman's might be the best one yet. It deserves it's own name.
Really excited to see how Newman progresses over next 2 games. Think coaches started conservative vs NCS trying to run it to get him in flow but now can really open the book from play 1 since he clearly has gained confidence. Assuming he continues similar play he is no doubt #1 next year as Hartman was only good against bad Ds and generally struggled against any D that wasn’t bottom 25%. Newman comes in on the road against a good D and looks like a vet. Plus as mentioned his size and running ability are clear advantages. Should be a great offseason of competition.
Newman was great in his 1st start! Hartman was one of the top 5 freshmen QB in America this year.
Both can be accurate, denigrating Hartman is just moronic. We have two really good QBs potentially, enjoy it.
Newman scene that encapsulates some Wake fans:
Newman: Take it or leave it!? We got *Al Jolson* here, *Al Jolson*!!
Ron: Now what the Hell do I care about Al Jolson. I'd just assume here you sing "Mammy". Heh heh heh...
Kramer: [In Newman's ear] This guy's nothin' but a piece of crap...
Newman: You are nothing but a piece of crap.
Ron: Pardon me?
Kramer: [In Newman's ear] A piece of crap...
Newman: A piece of crap.
Kramer: [In Newman's ear] I find you extremely ugly...
Newman: I find you extremely ugly.
Quit trying to turn Sam into Al Jolson.

NC State is 129 out of 130 in passing defense yards per game (Wake is 121). Louisville is 22nd
Read the thread title bro.
As to Hartman, he would of got murdered and played scared Thursday night. It’s not his fault that he’s 170 lbs soaking wet, but it’s just not what works in this system. Unlike the rest of you scrappy white kid lovers I don’t wait until midway through his senior year for it “to click” for five games before finishing the season with a disappointing loss to Duke. We need to move on from the Skinner/Price/Wolford/Hartman protype.
We’ll never recruit a top tier O-line, so we need a QB who can handle himself under pressure. Newman did that on Thursday
