Just watched the BC at Wake Forest game (condensed version) and was able to gather a few things.
First off, I know there’s some worry at least amongst us fans as this will be 2018’s first road game. I think we are a team than turns it up on the road. I think there’s probsbly less pressure for the offense, especially for Wimbush, not playing in front of 80,000 critics. Secondly, I personally have faith in our O-Line and have seen improvement slowly but surely since week 1.
As for Wake Forest, they have a quick shifty true Freshman QB. They have some athletes at RB, but their best receiver is only 5’9 and I would not worry about any of their offense skill players 1 on 1 vs our defensive players except maybe #22 for Wake. Their offensive ideology is taking advantage of over aggressiveness so we need to play discipline and see the ball and go get it. Just win the 1 on 1 battle and it should be a good day for our defense.
I don’t feel like getting into any more detail but I will say their secondary made a lot of mistakes and BC killed them on play action deep down field. As some of you know BC is similar to us this season in their offensive approach, a smash mouth team, but they have a stud at TB who gets a lot of respect. I really like what I’ve seen from our backs thus far however. They also have big TEs like we do so I suggest watching the ACC Digital Network’s condensed version and reporting back.
Go Irish! 4-0 here we come!!
