- We are 4-1 in the Dome and beat the #2 team in the nation here. We can beat these guys.

- I wouldn’t put it above Dungey to play and play effectively.

- And, if he can’t, Zach Mahoney can win games for us. He was at the helm when we beat BC two years ago to send Scott Shafer off with a win. And he’s a different quarterback when he’s had a week to prepare and get first team reps, which he has probably bene getting all week.

- The Deacons are missing a key play themselves in Greg Dortch, their leading receiver and kick returned. He had 53 receptions. The next best guy had 25.

- Wake has one game – against Appalachian State- when they convert less than 38% of their third downs. We have the best third down defense in America. 3rd Down Conversion Pct Defense | FBS Football Statistics - NCAA.com

- Three of their 4 wins are against Presbyterian, Utah State and App State.

- They lost to Florida State by a touchdown. We lost to them by a field goal. They lost to Clemson by 2 touchdowns. We beat Clemson.

- Sure they looked good against Louisville and Notre Dame. But they gave up at least 330 yards passing in both games. We can do that.

- Dino is going to let out the dogs on defense. He's not worried on who will get behind our guys, (see last night's Dino Babers Show).

- This will be played in a Dome, not in a Hurricane. The only thing raining own will be cheers for the home team.

- Hofrichter and Murphy will be kicking in a Dome. They will be at their best.

- Out players are going to be determined to get that bowl game- both for themselves and for the seniors, who have never bene to one. We have great leadership with Dungey, franklin and Bennett. This isn’t over- not by a long shot.

4-5 with 3+ to go!

LET’S GO ORANGE!!!
 
ND was blowing out WF and played their backup QB in the 4th. WF had a couple late scores. Clemson was up on WF 28 - 0 in the 4th before WF scored a couple late TDs to make the score look respectable. Their most impressive win is against BC in early September before Brown at QB and Dillon at RB knew what they were doing. WF would lose to BC today.

I think this is a must win for us if we want to go bowling.
