Yeah they’d be 11-1 with a loss to Wake and a win over SoCal and on their way to the CFP probably.
Excellently stated and if Sam had stayed this season, we might have lost Mitch. So all is good.Sam gave Wake the best QB run in our history and waited it out w Jamie when he could have left. He has a Wake degree and then because of his development, career and Covid was given an extra year and w Clawsons blessing is going to the #1 brand in college football. In each game he plays his success will be mentioned which is good for Wake. Even Freeman mentioned Wake in his comments which was a class act.
I would feel different if Sam left Wake before he graduated but he didn’t and it’s allowed us to keep Mitch. Sam is just going to get a grad degree at a different school than his undergraduate degree; many people do that.
I hope he goes 11-1 this year.
We couldn’t buy the kind of name placement we got with KW3’s run with Michigan State. Wake Forest was mentioned EVERY TIME the national or local media talked about him. For a school like Wake that may deserve to be in conversations but realistically isn’t because of history and size, that’s national exposure we wouldn’t otherwise get. That’s our name in a midwestern kid’s living room, our name in print media so no one ever confuses us again with “Lake Forest” (hello Eagle Bank Bowl🤦♀️) I don’t like losing our players either, but 20 yrs ago Top 25 programs wouldn’t dream of looking at a transfer from WF. The sting is lessened when the move is lateral or upward—we make those career moves all the time—versus playing down. In the post-portal, post-NIL world, every school is going to lose talentI’m not being a jerk but how does that help Wake? We get all our good qbs poached?
If ND goes 11-1 with their only loss to Wake, then you'd have to think that the Deacs would be in CFB playoff mix with a split with FSU and Clemson.Yeah they’d be 11-1 with a loss to Wake and a win over SoCal and on their way to the CFP probably.
Ha! wake would lose to Syracuse, Duke, and find a way to lose again to UNC even though they are not on the schedule. 😜If ND goes 11-1 with their only loss to Wake, then you'd have to think that the Deacs would be in CFB playoff mix with a split with FSU and Clemson.
appears those rumors Buchner was QB1 were a weeeeeeee bit overblown????Tyler Buchner from ND has entered the transfer portal…guess he thought Sam had a really good spring game.
given the non contact tag.... wellllI'm going to laugh my ass off if Buchner winds up at Alabama with Tommy Rees.
Yep. WF has or had three or four QBs on recent rosters (Hartman, Griffis, Edwards, maybe even Kern) that several SEC teams would currently covet. QB U.so not good enough to beat out a former WF QB at ND but good enough to compete for the starting job at Bama?

Yep, tougher schedule with Pitt & ND. Hoping OLine comes thru and defense gets tougher. With schedule thinking 7 regular season wins looks good.We go 7-5 and Notre Dame goes 10-2.
