Wake game concerns me

[Crusty]

Wake is another of those teams that always just seems to have our number. Dino has us bowl eligible and ranked. Time to get that road ACC win off out back!

Wake doesn't have our number. They just had a senior offense. Hell, Shafer beat them. Remember RunDMCs 99 yard run?

And this year, we've got the senior QB who is a dynamic game changer.

Senior offense vs. injury ravaged SU team, and a monsoon the year before. Before that we’d won 3 in a row against them.

We owe them one.

It's Wakes' Homecoming and the 5oth Anniversary celebration of BBT field. Sounds like a perfect time for SU to beat them.

Nassib to Chewy for the winning TD!

people said Pitt had no shot and the almost beat ND too.

Wake will struggle if you make them only pass.. They almost beat BC, but really had no business beating Tulane

the big thing is we need to run the ball.. they dont stop the run that well so if you make them have to honor that at all you can throw at will.

just dont turn it over and we have to start chasing the lead.

hopefully we find 3 DBs. Iffy is probably Iffy

It's a conference road game. Enough said with our recent results. The small line says it all. Let's get over the road blues . 7-2 unleash the beast.

Other than nuclear war, he is the only thing that scares me. I hear he has small hands and smells like cabbage.

Made me laugh out loud!

We have not lost a game at BBT Field when I am in attendance. I'll be there Saturday. Ergo ... We win!

The next big learning curve for the fan base: expectation of winning. Year three of Dino, ranked, and playing a 4-4 team that is mediocre on the road. My expectation is that we win these games 90% of the time from here on out. If we can’t, then we’re just pretending to be something we’re not.

Why? Expectations take the fun out of it. I’ve been to the basketball side. HoF coach can’t coach over there.

We’re good and will have a chance in every game. Just ride it out. (60+% chance to win by 3rd party impartial analyst seems more fair, IMO).

Wait, aren't we the team that is "on the road?"

Weather Underground is calling for a high of 61 and sunny. Should be a pleasant day for a game.

Didn’t realize there was an underground movement to forecast the weather.

I got this. Honestly, Ive been to a lot of road games and only saw us lose once - at UVA in what I believe was the day when the infamous Doctor Gross multi cell phone picture was taken. Unfortunately we lose almost every time I go to the Dome. I stopped going to home games and we started winning. Coincidence?

Is there?

I think the percentages would prove differently. 90% is a bit high I am sure. 70-75% is probably more likely

Actually forgot about that. Think maybe I'm just stuck on the Hurricane game and last year's game.

I'm hoping the Syracuse Football Players, Coaches and Staff remember that Wake Forest has beaten them two years in a row. Weather may have played a factor two years ago but I witnessed that game in the Dome last year. Syracuse needs to come out with it's head screwed on straight and play for sixty plus minutes to get the win. Go Orange!!!!!

Don't worry, this season is a revenge tour.

I hope so because that will save me from writing the same thing for next weeks home finale. If ever there were two teams I would love to see Syracuse dismantle (BC would make three lol) it's Wake Forest and Louisville. Go Orange!!!!!!!

Us being 19 the CFP and being ranked just made this game even harder.

 

[BVille44]

I am less concerned about the Wake Forest game than I was on Saturday night. I believe the players will be extremely focused going into the Wake Forest game after seeing themselves ranked #19 in the CFP poll. The players know they have an opportunity to play in a big time bowl game but there chances go up in smoke with a loss in Winston Salem. I expect see this team come away with a 20+ point win on Saturday night.

 

[longislandcuse]

I'm worried about the let down factor...

I don’t see how you can watch the CFP Ranking Show, as I’m sure the team did, see yourselves ranked 19, and then not be anything but amped out of your mind for Saturday.
