I cannot remember a 'cuse defense playing this physical.  The whole unit is playing fast and angry--really punishing stuff.  Wake's good receiver's drops over the middle were not coincidence.  We sit right behind the visitor's bench, and Wake's receivers and O-linemen came off the field looking physically beaten by the end of the third quarter.

Also, haven't seen it mentioned much here, but to my eyes, Wigham is starting to look like a future all league type player--great speed/instincts.  The play he made against Wake where he dropped the pick 6 was right in front of our seats, and the break he made on that ball was just [U]so[/U] fluid and technically sound.  Great corners always have their hips turned the right way to apply leverage, and Wigham always seems to be correct.  They've had Reddish out on an island all year, but I think Wigham's play in the last two games has allowed Darius Kelly and Wilkes to hedge less to the slot/outside and play run more.  All good things.  I'm terrified that FSU is so athletic they will press coverage our receivers into being non factors, enabling 8 or 9 in the box--not a good formula for us and our run game.  That being said, I'm very interested to see whether our boys on defense can hang in there on Saturday and at least make FSU's young QB earn things.
