Wake (#9 CFP, #5 SOR) at UNC (UNC-2.5) 12:00 noon, ABC

Obviously the defense is the primary reason we lost the game. But the offense was not its clinical self. Right out of the gate we give away 4 points in the penalty in the red zone. We go away from the first down run game despite the success we were having there. Hartman stares down his receivers multiple times. With the game on the line we don’t even look to Roberson but throw to the opposite side of the field into coverage. Disappointing day all around.

We know the defense is atrocious and we know we have to be damn near perfect offensively. What sucks is that we stopped ourselves more than UNC stopping us.

My take on that play was Sam thought it was a free play. Looked like the D jumped in real time. Maybe not enough for it to be offsides, but I feel like Sam thought they were. He didn't even look to the other side of the field where he had 3 WRs lined up and instead threw a jump ball deep down the left side.

There were 2 big offsides that were not called. That was one of them, the second INT play was the other.
 
Even so, Sam could have just thrown it away or thrown it deeper. It was still a bad throw even if he thought it was a free play.
 
Clawson speaking to Stan, some loose quotes:

Felt a lot like last year, high scoring, took a lead into 4th and couldn't hold onto it. Didn't make enough plays, especially on defense

On Penalties - awful, killers

On onside kick last chance - second half couldn't get off the field and played really poorly on defense, unfortunately it has been a theme playing Carolina and a few games this year

On the physical nature of game - physical game, we came out of it pretty banged up. We have to reconfigure next week

we have been in some shootouts this year, at some point we have to get a stop and we didn't

On next week - big game, we faced adversity for the first itme and we have to bounce back, sure we will do that

My note - I have never heard Clawson that distraught.

He ought to be distraught. He just shit the bed. Now his team can go back to being that "nice little program that is having a nice year."

Only positive I can come up with is that we no longer have to worry about our team making the playoff and then having our shit pushed in by Bama, Georgia or Ohio St. If we can give up 56 to Army and 58 to the Fuckholes, what would a real team do to us? Post 90?
 
Just a minor item in the 10 million things I hate about this game: Mack Brown wanders around on the sideline looking like a senior citizen looking for his pudding cup. We, rightfully, make fun of him the entire game. Yet, this senile old glad-hander has beat our genius coach two straight times! Williams College!
 
UNC scored 58, had 546 yards of offense.

Their best offensive played had 4 catches for 35 yards.

If you have told me Downs would have <50 yards receiving, I would not have understood how we could lose the game.
 
Offense has to take some of the blame. Sam has 2 ints and what 5 batted passes? We should have easily scored more points and we all know it.

Honestly. It may be a God-send we're not in that conversation. Playing Alabama on national TV with this defense? It could possibly have set every NCAA record ever held in a game. So, sometimes, things work out for the best.

Clawson needs to make some serious changes. People need to be fired after this. Fired on Monday preferably.
 
Pissed about the lost but never felt good about this game. Defense was always going to be an issue we just don’t have the dudes to shut down good offenses. Hopefully Louisville and FSU somehow win today. Would make sure a win basically wraps up the ACC championship game. I want to go to Charlotte!
 
Getting to 8-0 and ranked in the top 10 for one week may be the Clawson's and Wake's peak.

I will note that today was a non-conference game. That makes it only slightly less painful.
 
The loss to UNC was a non-conference game but can the Wake team actually rebound from this loss? It feels like to win the ACC this year, Wake will need some help with additional losses for NCSU and Clemson.
 
This has to be one of the worst run defense teams I have seen, easily one of the worst in Power 5.

Just to add a little pain back, we are beat to hell. We lost several defenders today and CBS. I am almost sure that CBS is done with something broken. AND we have to turn around and play the Wolfpack.

Of all the teams I hate losing to, UNC is 1 and NCSU is 1.5 and App 2.

With a healthy defense we looked like complete shit today, what does next week hold in store?
