Wake was giving up 385 yards passing a game going into our game. Our strength is our passing game. They didn't all of a sudden get good at stopping the pass. It was a combo of weather and IMO our coaches over compensating for the weather in their play calling. They have no O, which helps our bad D. We should have been able to outscore them. The advanced stats have us ranked ahead of Wake despite them being 5-1 while we are 2-4 and lost to them. It isn't like I am coming out of left field here in saying that we are better than them. We just weren't better than them this game.

BC and RU have the worst P5 Os in the nation. They will not score many points. Their D has struggled this year. We should be able to outscore them. The advanced stats have us ranked even with them. So you can act like I am nuts but the stats back me up.

NC State plays garbage teams to start the year every season and then limps their way into a Bowl. They lost to ECU who is 2-4. Also they will be 5-4 when we play them (at home). By then in theory we should be peaking. IMO they have the worst HC in the ACC. He was lucky that the hurricane hit because they don't beat ND otherwise and he would be on the hot seat. So yeah I don't think it is out of the realm of possibility that we beat them.

I don't think we beat Pitt, but we will have a chance. Their D has issues and their O IMO fits what our D can stop. When we play them, they will likely be 6-5 (if that).  While it would be an upset, it isn't like we are beating a Top 40 team.

Maybe I am overrating what we can do. That is fair. But I am not underrating our opponents. They are not very good.
