All this talk of small DTs, I miss some Nikita Whitlock.

Seems to be a solid contingent of USU fans that think they'll beat us in the opener. Didn't see this posted earlier in the thread:

Utah State listed as a potential upset over LSU.
Guess we'll have a pretty good idea how likely this is after our first game.

I hope so.

Comments in the article that are given little play: lost 2 of top three receivers. Lost 4 of 5 offensive linemen. Key to the game will be Wake's D-line taking advantage of inexperience (at least as a group) of the Utah State O-line so Love has no room to throw and his new receivers have no time to get open.
On the promotion and marketing campaign taking place
Strnad: “Driving around Winston, you see the signs and stuff. We’re getting that build up and momentum going into the year. Opening up against a team like Utah State, it’s going to be important to have fans there. A lot of people don’t realize this is going to be a very tough game in week one. We need the win, and they’re a very talented team. It would help nothing more than to have a sold out crowd.”
On the defensive side, the Aggies should be just as good, if not better, than they were last year. They return a couple of key players in David Woodward, a 2018 Pro Football Focus 1st Team All American at linebacker, and Tipa Galeai, who finished last season with 10 sacks. They are also getting back a lot of experience at the corner back position on a defense that was ranked 9th on passing downs by S&P+ last season. DJ Williams is the player in the secondary the Wake QBs will need to be aware of; he finished last season with 4 interceptions and 11 passes defended. The biggest challenge for the USU defense going into the season will be replacing the loss of both starting safeties, who combined for 124 tackles, 6 interceptions, and 7 passes defended in 2018. The Deacs could try to exploit that loss early by going deep in the passing game.
Will ACCN games be streamed on the ESPN app or will it be a standalone with an additional subscription?
Everything I can find is that it is a standalone. At this point the only major carriers are Google Fiber, DirectTV, and the higher dollar Hulu TV, not Hulu. No Spectrum, Comcast, Uverse,....
