I think the all-white gold helmet look we had at App St were the best looking Wake unis I've ever seen. Just fantastic.
Yeah. I like the gold helmets.

Yeah the helmets were bad. The only good looking helmet we have is the back with gold WF. The C3PO crap and the cartoon Deacon yesterday are stupid af, especially in a nationally televised game.
Clawson has done a great job building the program. He has turned this into a real football team. That should not be discounted as it is the hardest and most important part of coaching.
That said, I don't think Clawson will ever be anything except mindnumbingly conservative on offense. It cost us this game and should have cost us the game at App. I doubt it would help to fire Ruggerio as the OC usually reflects the head coach. Clawson seems like a replica of Grobe.
It's very frustrating to watch as it is evident that the conservative play calls are the low percentage plays as well as unentertaining. Perfect coach for LOWF.
Turnovers and special teams cost us the game.
This was the difference. At times both the offense and defense made big plays but they both also made critical mistakes. Both were still better than their counterparts on FSU's team. FSU didn't make special teams mistakes, we did.Totally wrong. Turnovers and special teams cost us the game. The end.

Agree.
You remember wrong
Pretty sure I'm not...Rusty threw it 421 times in 11 games his senior year...1995. That's nearly a 40 attempts per game avg. Kuklick threw it nearly 400 times in 96 and 98 and led the ACC in passing his senior year. Those teams' records? 1-10, 3-8, 3-8. Which is kind of my point....Wake Forest has been at its most competitive when we play good defense and efficient yet sometimes conservative offense.
FSU won the game yesterday by going conservative. With 1:30 left in the game FSU had the ball on our 39 with a 4th and 1 situation. The aggressive play would be to go for it!!! Step on the throat!!!! They made the smart play, which happened to be conservative. Deacs9394 is right that being aggressive is not always the right tactic.

And for the record, we threw on all 3 plays the prior series and went three and out. 2 dump offs to Colburn and the miss on the throw to a wide open Dortch about 5 yards past the chains.
