2023 Wake Football Spring Game Thread (2 PM Saturday on ACCNX)

What is story with Horatio? He blew up in spring game last year before unfortunate injury. Really looking forward to him being a star along with Greene, Grimes and apparently Kelly with Taylor being Taylor.

Seemed like it went back further than Wellman. He said it had to do with Wake not recognizing their place in the civil rights movement. That makes sense because I didn’t know Wake was the first southern school to have a Black scholarship player.

Nice 81 yard TD run by Towns. Nice breakaway speed.

Towns was a blur running by my seat here! :)

Still recovering from the blown ACL.
 
Pretty cool to have a WR named Deuce. Nice moves for the TD. Nice pass by Marucci.

IIRC, Caldwell was the first Black ACC head coach. Not sure if he was the first in the south.
 
Is there any way of accessing a recording of the spring game?

I'm hoping that all the ACC spring games will eventually end up replayed on the regular ACCN at some point over the next few weeks.

I'm almost certain they were last year. This time of year, they have lots of time slots to fill anyway.
 
Looks like it’s being replayed on ACCN on 4/19 at 12 noon. Was just hoping I could stream it through watch ESPN or something.

You should be able to. It's not up there?
 
Who impressed more at QB? It appears we are in great shape with either. The several blown defensive coverages looked ugly. Hope not a cause for concern long-term. It absolutely killed us last year at times. I realize it's hard to take too much from spring games for obvious reasons.

QB’s and WR’s were awesome. Frosh RB Pickett has some great skills too
 
I know they were auditioning three people for the open PA position. Anyone who attended think there was a clear standout?
 
I read we have a new Head Athletic Trainer. What happened to the old guy? I thought we had a long-time trainer leave for Vanderbilt 2 years ago and his replacement was an in-house promotion - is that guy now gone? I might be confusing Head Athletic Trainer with another coaching position.
 
I thought the guy we lost to Vanderbilt was strength and conditioning, not athletic trainer.
