Take a look at Wake's schedule. The Music City Bowl should

be a hell of a game. Don't know what happened in the Vanderbilt game unless the ACC is complete crap. They played ND
close and I thought they had a decent team this year. Also played Clemson close.

They played Clemson close, but also played Duke and Syracuse close.

I think that will decide the game. Granted our defense struggles against a good passing offense, and they have a decent one. They will score some points on us, but they won't stop our offense. Vandy rushed for like 300 yards on them, and Vandy's offense isn't great. Also, Wake is dead last in the ACC in sacks, and almost last in interceptions. They rank lower and drastically lower respectively in rushing and passing defense than us, with a much easier schedule.

I've seen posts on their boards that they may not be in our league as far as size is concerned, but speed will make up for that... Let's see how that works out for them.

I'm a little worried about them passing it, but I still feel comfortable the game's over early in the 3rd.

Even Vandy (not a top line SEC defense statistically) held WF to 7 points where the lowest they had scored all year in ANY other game was 17.

 

[tecmsu06]

on which Wake team shows up.. The Wake team that beat a decent, although underwhelming FSU team, or the Wake I saw in person lose badly to UNC (not a very good team)..

Wake turned the ball over and did not play defense when I saw them. They had a late scrub td, so that game was more like 49-17.

And, how about their 'beat writer' tweeting yesterday how they had 'nothing to play for' in the loss to Vandy?

 

[Dawgbreeze]

I don't know why they played poorly in some games but they had Clemson beat should have won the game. It will not be an easy game and if our players don't take them seriously, they can embarrass us.

 

[Topgundawg]

in the country and some of the worst. When I see how they got up for ND, Florida State, and Clemson I could see how they
could stay with us quite easily if we come out like we did against UAB. We need to come out swinging like Vandy must of did.
