In their last 2 games combined, they have 226 yards. That's roughly 28 yards per quarter.
 
Heard yesterday on ESPN the WF QB has 11 INT's. Our defense needs to show up and I think it will but there will be opportunities for our defense to take some pressure off the offense.

I expect Long to potentially make some mistakes, a la Jay Cutler, throwing the ball into double coverage and paying the price. I think we have to expect this to happen if he continue to play. We need to establish the run and control the line of scrimmage and make Long decision making easier when we do pass the ball. Pull the WF defenders in to stop the run and allow Long to have easy decisions to make.

I was not confident we would win the game before Fla st., wouldn't have surprised me if we had or hadn't won. Now, I don't see us losing this game and I never thought I would feel that way the rest of this season.
 
During the last years of Grobe there were recruiting issues at Wake. Out of the 35 players he signed in 2010 and 2011 22 never made an impact. 8 of the 22 were dismissed or suspended indefinitely, 4 suffered career ending injuries, 3 transferred, 1 dropped out, and 6 did not or have not ever contributed. Clawson has a major rebuilding project on his hands.
 
This game comes at the right time. Wilson will probably out with a concussion and that leaves AJ pretty much alone on an island (no shot at Kimble intended). AJ will rise to the occasion. I expect him to settle down and play a good game. He needs to stop throwing into double coverage of course, but I am sure Lester will correct this. Aggressive QB's are like training upland bird dogs - you want to rein them in without breaking their enthusiasm. Lester knows this.

I have a feeling we will be feeling a lot better about the O after this game.
Go AJ!

Hail Mary every play. You'd get better results.
 
Would love to see us curb-stomp them and get some mojo back. Let AJ have a day.
 
they cant run at all. we need to continue that and not give them some easy score on a blown coverage.. but their D has played pretty well so scoring wont be easy if we make mistakes. didnt FSU say their D was the best they played this year?
 
And yet, we are "only" 4 point favorites.

Perspective is a not a bad thing.

Home field is worth 3.5 so we are 7.5 on neutral field. FWIW

I think it's 3. But it is irrelevant.

We are playing them AT WF as 4 point favorites. We will need to make plays to win. Let's beat a P-5 program before we think we can roll anyone (not directed at you or anyone in particular). But, we are who we are until we play better and prove it on the field.

Sure, one play at a time.

Yeah, 3 my bad.

To make predictions for upcoming games, simply compare the RATINGS of
the teams in question and allow an ADDITIONAL 3 points for the home
team. Thus, for example, a HOME team with a rating of 92 would be
favored by 5 points over a VISITING team having a rating of 90.
Or a VISITING team with a rating of 89 would be favored by 7 points
over a HOME team having a rating of 79.

they are horrible. this is great news

their points per game is 23% better than UConns. this is amazing news.

wake is dead last in yards and it's not even really close. SMU is 2nd to last and they're 14% better in YPG

SU's offense in 2008 was 27% better in ypg. and that SU offense blew a mass grave of dead bears

I totally agree.
