Pinstripe Bowl vs Michigan State

It's like the refs were taken from opponents during the Grobe era - "This is Wake, gotta look out for the chop blocks."
 
Knowing what we know now, I sure wish we brought Hartman into game before the last drive of game. In hindsight, Newman probably had a lot on his mind other than wake football when he was missing receivers and slowing down before he got to the first down marker.

Yep, that slowing down was a bad play. All he had to do was make a cut and dive for first down. Instead he ran right into the guy a yard short. WTF, no awareness of where he was.
 
Wake pulls in, by far, the largest bowl viewership of the NC schools.

Wake Forest: Pinstripe Bowl, Michigan State, Dec. 27 (ESPN) – 2.3 rating, 3.8 million viewers.

North Carolina: Military Bowl, Temple, Dec. 27 (ESPN) – 1.3 rating, 2.07 million viewers.

A&T: Celebration Bowl, Alcorn State, Dec. 21 (ABC) – 1.2 rating, 1.81 million viewers.

Appalachian State: New Orleans Bowl, Ala.-Birmingham, Dec. 21 (ESPN): 0.6 rating, 963,000 viewers.

Charlotte: Bahamas Bowl, Buffalo, Dec. 20 (ESPN) – 0.55 rating, 739,000 viewers.

This reminds my of the LOWF myth that many on here perpetuate that Wake doesn’t travel well for football, so we’ll always get the worst bowl possible. Wake actually travels really well, which is why we have done so well with bowl selection the past decade. Those that matter, know. Nonetheless, next year we’ll read many times on here about how Wake will get “screwed in the bowl selection process because we don’t travel well!!1!!”

Point taken but we were the only one to play a P5 team.
 
Guys, The (Scoop) Reff ! is just bitter that he never made it past girls JV basketball in officiating. That really must suck after 40 years of trying. Give the guy a break. He knows nothing about it !
 


As previously stated, it's not Clawson making the reads. Looks like the 2nd play of the game (3min22sec), could have pulled it back and passed to Hinton (whose defender was cheating up for the run) or Claude (whose coverage went deep and gave up the comeback route). Still got the 1st but there was room for an explosive play by a speedy WR

4min13sec: Newman was going to pass to Hinton, who slipped on the field, so Jamie pulled it and ran for 7. Not a designed run.

1st series starts with 6 runs (only 3 were designed run plays for Carney), ends with a nice 29-yard TD pass to Hinton, who was wide open after the sluggo route with the LBs cheating up and no help over the top for the S covering Hinton.
This is where Newman is strong, dropping in the deep ball. Not necessarily firing a bullet in there, but placing it for the receiver to run up to and under the pass, when there is no help over the top and our WR has his man beat. Sage had a few long TD catches this year under similar circumstances. I expect Hartman can make this pass next year too.

1st series on D, 1st play, Bassey slips on the field. Watching it back, with Hinton slipping early and Bassey too, I wonder what was up with the field or Wake's cleats?
2nd play on D (8min36sec) - great play by Henderson. We need someone next year who can make plays like that.
1st series 3 and out, good D, bad punt by Michigan State, Wake up 7, all the momentum is for Wake early.

2nd offensive series (10min36sec) 1st play, RPO, handed off to Carney but had Hinton open in space with Claude setting a good block on his guy. Good chance with a dart to Hinton, he makes a move on his man and breaks open a big play. This was created by LB#34 cheating up for the run (punish the undisciplined LBs). The better read was probably pulling it back and firing one to Hinton that would have been big. Instead LB#34 assists on the tackle of Carney 2 yards from the LOS.
2nd play of the series Greene makes a highlight catch.
3rd play of the series LB blitz and all 5 receivers have tight man coverage, Jamie makes a play with his feet, runs for the 1st, good play. Ideally our lineman would have had the C blocking DT#99 and our LG picks up the blitzer, but good call by MSU's DefCo, better run by Newman.
4th play of the series, RPO, Newman pulls it back to look for Hinton and Greene who were open running deep routes, and gets sacked. The real issue on this play is Maginn at LG who gets blown up by a Redshirt Fr. DT immediately.
5th play, designed pass, throws a dart to Chapman. Good pass, but I think Greene on the slant looked even better.
6th play, 3rd and 9, MSU puts only 3 lineman rushing and is playing the pass all the way, Carney stays in to block and helps pancake the DE with Herron. Newman has time but is dialed in to his left and never looks right through his progressions, 4th down.
Would have been nice to down that punt inside the 5 but our long snapper was the only guy who got his ass down the field.

Before this post gets too long-winded, look back at the game yourselves. I don't blame the coaches. Wake had the big Mo early and with the right execution gets up 14-0 in the 1st and plays against a deflated Michigan State the rest of the way for a win. The game was very winnable from a talent and gameplan perspective, it just wasn't executed perfectly.
