I too had hoped that the trip to Wake would render a win. But it did not, but let's not act like we were not in the game the whole way. We had the ball at the 50 down 14-9 late in the third quarter/early 4th. In all., we had about 6-7 possessions where a TD would have given us the lead.

If anything, we saw our defense take a decent stride forward against the Deacons. They were stout against the run. Still a bit weak when it comes to quarterbacks running the ball, but progress is progress. We just assumed the progress would come on the offensive side, but the wind/wet made that exceedingly difficult ;ast week. In some respects, the solid play of the defense could be more important going forward, because personally, I am not at all worried about Dino's offense outside of O-Line play.

And let's give Wake some credit too. Solid game plan, and Wolford made some big plays. On their 3rd TD drive, they had a 3rd and 4 from near midfield and we got a nice rush on, flushed him out to the right. He made a dying quail throw all the way across the field for a 5-yard gain and a first down. He made a play. Sometimes we forget that there are two teams out there playing. Our guys did everything right on that play, but his play trumped us. Bummer dude.

Look, in my opinion, with Dino in the fold, we will beat Wake 7 or 8 times every 10 years. Last Saturday just happened to be one of the setbacks.
