he doesn't have the tools. A short quarterback either has to have great legs or be accurate. And he is neither

Also, also also nice

 

[awakegirl]

You all would be mistaken.

No one would be happier than me to eat crow on this one. Seems like a nice kid. From what I’ve seen so far, he doesn’t got it. Hope I’m wrong.

This is a definite ignore for me. I mean good lord lol

He's choosing to be miserable about posters who were miserable about being down to ODU.

As much as Mitch’s numbers improved in the second half, the defense saved the day and bailed out the offense time and time again. Seriously 10 sacks, that’s amazing from a Wake D. So whoever wants to cherry pick comments and pretend to do I told ya so, the defense won that game today and the offense needs a lot of work.

 

[SkyDivingDeacon]

Mitch had a bad day - a borderline horrendous day. Credit the defense, be glad we’re 3-0 and move on. That’s precisely what Mitch said after the game. What’s there to argue about?

I hope we destroy GT next week. We owe those goofy fucks.

First game 1976 has ever watched I guess. “A win is a win!!!!!!!!1111!!1”

 

[wakegrrl]

Mitch with the game ball, right?

Brad Lambert gets the game ball

 

[1976Deac]

Get. Fucked. ODU.

Also, also, also nice

 

[deac03]

1976 in the parking lot popping bottles telling monarchs to suck his dick. Even wake fans telling him “bro stop. That and you are equally embarrassing”

 

[Deaconblue]

Brad Lambert gets the game ball

Yes. That ODU offense is unusual and hard to play against. Lambert schemed against it pretty well. Especially with halftime adjustments.

 

[Henry Chinaski]

Has anyone seen 1976 and the REFF in the same place at same time?

 

[1976Deac]

Anyone else feel exhausted?

Only from this thread. At halftime It was on the offense or not to quit pretending to play ball.

 

[1976Deac]

I remember the days of going 1-10 and the 1 was maybe App or Army. The past 15 or so years have been phenomenal. Be happy with 3-0 no matter how it happens. It’s fine to expect better performances. The past 15 years have conditioned us to expect more. And that’s not a bad thing at all. Success breeds expectation.

The one was Davidson two years

I have never heard of Glasker. Does he play much? Any reason why he’s on an island on 2nd and long? Bad coverage but seems like idiotic coaching. Or maybe the safety bit on the post and blew it too.

Who was the deep safety that didn’t cover anyone on that play? I rewound and could never get a glimpse of the jersey number. Either way — it looked bad by both Glasker and that safety.

 

[DeacsOrDie]

Griffis was gutty today

 

[DeacsOrDie]

In fact, griffis reminds me of Wolford

 

[DeacsOrDie]

Griffis is clearly not ok physically or mentally you cannot keep him in here

Agreed. We shouldn’t have kept him in to win the game

Glasker is a rFr DB. Staff is high on him, but he is just starting to play college football.

Yep, no disagreement from me. He’s our #4 CB this year and I wonder if he’s only forced into that role because Stevenson went down for the year in the pre-season. He has measurables and may turn out good, but you hate to play someone before they’re really ready.

That play just stood out as it was one of really just 2-3 breakdowns (and the most pronounced one given it resulted in their only offensive TD).

Still curious who the safety was there and what he was doing.
