What is Wake forest’s strength?


Oct 3, 2017, 5:45 PM

Is it offense, defense, special teams? I can’t find one. I’ll hang up and listen.

the fact is they are better than both Lewisville and VT...


Oct 3, 2017, 5:47 PM

and it's not even close

I think it's their secondary.

A lot of you may not be aware of this. The QB at Wake in high school in Florida was the all time record holder in passing stats for the state when the Deacs signed him. His records were short lived however because a kid named Tucker Israel came along and broke those records. I think I am right about this. Anyone know ?

He owned some of them and Tebow owned some. Israel broke both their records.

They have a good law school and an even better medical school.

Oh and a lovely on campus chapel.

Re: What is Wake forest’s strength?


Oct 3, 2017, 6:04 PM

lovingit it's probably our D line and LB's. Not anywhere close to your D, but we're pretty decent this year. Actually have some depth there.

Our DB's are young and I expect your WR's should get separation and plenty of catches.

I just don't see our O moving the ball with any effectiveness....

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I think overall it’s your experience you have a lot of jrs and srs on


Oct 3, 2017, 6:09 PM

Your team that have played a lot together and are intelligent and know how to get more production out of your talent and athleticism than paper says you should. I think if we blow you off, which we won’t, could be a long day. But I think our depth and quickness allows us to pull away second half.

Experience, they are the underdog and they have nothing to lose........kinda like Pitt.

Played BC pretty even statistically, but still won 34-10. Outplayed FSU statistically, but lost 26-19.

You best believe we'll get everyone's best shot. It's be ready or look stupid.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

+1 for coming to our board and not talking trash.

Unlike those Allbarn Lewisville and Turkey fans.

"Dabo crushed my soul." --- Classof09


Went to my first away game last year and WF fans are...


Oct 3, 2017, 8:19 PM

The nicest, most mild-mannered fans you can find. Very friendly and very realistic. They were all like "Yeah, y'all should win tonight." And when we had a big play, "Wow, that was very impressive. Like the hole your o-line opened up there." And after we won, "Y'all have a shot to win it all. Best of luck!"

That's why I have no ill-will towards WF. If we ain't winning the ACC, might as well be them. They've witnessed a lot of bad football (similar to us in basketball) and deserve some happiness, too.

That said, hope we win by 30 on Saturday.

GOOOO TIGERS!!!

Defense is their strength and if we play like we did against Boston College for 3 quarters we will be in a dogfight.

If we don’t take them seriously we will find ourselves in a dog fight.

I don’t disagree but do you mean we the fans or we the football team?


Oct 3, 2017, 8:36 PM

And my question was what is their strength?

Re: I don’t disagree but do you mean we the fans or we the football team?


Oct 3, 2017, 9:50 PM

Strong front 7, similar to BC. Athletic, playmaking quarterback.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Now we are talking, so we have to win in the trenches. I do think


Oct 3, 2017, 10:12 PM

They may be able to match us ### for tat for a time, but I think our depth wins out. Only time will tell how quickly and then our skill players will be able to take advantage. Not sure if t will be third or fourth quarter but I think it will be closely contested and then we will run away with it. Similar to the bc game I guess. I do hope that we are a little hungrier and that bc reminded us that we are beatable. Bc if we get that we won’t be beatable. I know, deep.

But - using your transitive logic, Wake lost to FSU at home, fsu lost to NCSU at home, ncsu lost to USUC neutral site. So are you also saying that when we play USUC, we might have to raise our game?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

They have excellent schools of medicine and law......

Oh wait...you were probably referring to football....??

Their strength is a weak schedule so far.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: What is Wake forest’s strength?


Oct 3, 2017, 10:01 PM

They return 19 starters and are very fundamentally sound and well coached.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I was formally known as Furious george and have changed my name to match the name I use to call on WCCP radio.


similar to what I said earlier they are experienced and play well with each other.


Oct 3, 2017, 10:15 PM

They are able to outperform their athleticism. I do think that will keep it close for awhile due to the fundamentals but I ultimately think we show we are dominant. Just not sure how quickly. It could be the second half unless kb starts out quickly. I could also see a scenario where we hit deon Cain early for a long pass or feaster gets a nice screen for a td.

Taking beating after beating for many successive years from Clemson and still getting back up for the next one .
Their strength lies in their bottomless fortitude .
