Message: [QUOTE="Crusty, post: 1476257, member: 2265"] Obviously, we have not seen anything close to the whole playbook yet, but there are signs it might be pretty good. Let's get all of the disclaimers out of the way- 1) yes, it was only Rhode Island; 2) we are limited by Dungey's inexperience; 3) so far, the red zone has been the same old same old; other than a few spectacular plays, we didn't look so good. I missed our first series but I had a chance to look at the replay this morning and I think there is more here than initially meets the eye. [LIST=1] [*]First, let's tackle the redzone issue. We actually had two plays work for touchdowns in the RZ that will not make it to the record books. Dungey obviously scored and the refs blew the call and later we had a TD called back for, of all reasons, 5 men in the backfield! Things like this are probably to be expected early in the season with kids and a new offence. We also had two drives stalled by strange errors like the snap over Dungey's head and some botched execution of a few plays. Again. new players and system. [*]We only had 4 penalties for 30 yards. Let me repeat that - we only had 4 penalties for 30 yards. I would hasten to add that one was a questionable interference call and one was a false start by a first year starter. I already mentioned the costly illegal formation. This may be an indication that the offense is really easy for the kids to learn and they are comfortable with it. [*]Wake Forest has a pretty good defense. Certainly not the best we will play this year - probably about the average of what we will face. We had no turnovers. [*]Dungey leads the ACC with the most yards per attempt with 11.2. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
