Wake is much better than I thought they were.
That said, if ST gets their shit together and our defense improves against the run, then this game is not close by any means. It’s only week 3 and I think we’ll get it cleaned up before we have to face the rest of the ACC schedule.

It prob went something like this:

TRE: “I like Dicks... Daz sucks... BC sucks... Wake sucks... I like dicks... moving the game 2 hours sucks... I hate Daz”
Strachans: “How can you criticize BC when you are wearing a BC hat and whalepants?”
TRE: “I’m never gonna like Daz. Btw, you think Connor would let me shower with the team after the game?”

Yeah, he was decent. I'm reserving judgement for now!

Other than that, I thought OLine run blocking looked very poor. Dillon seemed to get stuck behind the line frequently, yet ended up with 180-something on 33 carries, so what do I know? I guess Brown was simply decent!

He played mediocre to average in the first half and well in the second. Box score analysis does not give you a full picture. But I’m sure you know that.

Isn't there a lack of depth at DT? If so, that's an issue that may not be fixed.

No idea how STs get fixed.
You what?

Agreed. I would add that I think Wake gets even better next week when their QB comes off suspension. Wake is going 8-4.

Purdue on the road, will be a serious test for this very talented and senior (albeit) undisciplined BC team that can't do special teams. If they get past Purdue in a similar fashion (just outscoring them at the end) I will be satisfied.

Brown barely hit wide open guys. 3 of the TDs were poorly thrown balls to guys with no one around and a fourth, to smith was WAY underthrown. The TD to Glines was the only one that was great.

He threw some good balls, but he also threw some real shit balls as well. I think he is light years better than last year though. But, If he improves his accuracy... this team will be deadly. They’d be able to beat pretty much anyone on the schedule with maybe the exception of Clemson.

Brown played the best game of his very short BC career today. He didn't have many passing plays and the few he had, the receivers were wide open. But he hit the receivers, they caught the balls, and they scored touchdowns. There weren't all that many bad passing plays (except the ones where the receivers were tackled for losses, lol!) Brown HAD to have the best game of his career today for the team to win the game. And why? Wake went 100% on defense to stop the run, didn't give a damn about pass defense. And even still, A J had a decent game (not his best, but a decent game.) Given Wake's defensive scheme, it was the responsibility for Brown to be the man to win the game for the team. He succeeded.

You didn't watch the game. One TD had to be overturned, another was reviewed, and a third was only a TD because Jeff Smith is so fast he made up for a shit throw. I'm happy with brown but that team was dogshit with 11 in the box. He'd better do that.

Brown was excellent today. He was the reason why we are all either a little happy or mildly annoyed VS being batfuck BPD crazy right now. Wake's game plan was almost brilliant. Basically:

  • Stop AJ Dillon at ALL COSTS (even if it means BC receivers are wide open all night, which they were)
  • Go with a hurry up offense to "gas" BC's defense
  • Be opportunistic on special teams
  • Don't have any penalties

I think Wake played to the maximum of that team's ability tonight and their game plan (utterly ignoring BC's passing game, just hoping for dropped passes) had a slim shot of actually getting a win. They needed Brown to miss a few, which he didn't. They needed the receivers to drop a few, which they didn't. So, its all good.


Drops by WRs have been a staple of BC offense for a LONG time so it is worth highlighting your point that WRs did not drop anything tonight I believe.

Biggest drop was by the defense on the Hamp Cheevers dropped INT and that was a huge, potentially devastating drop that put like another dozen plays on our defense, easily 3 points if Wake took the FG, and a lot of field position.

It will be interesting to see how this team develops. I thought overall they lacked intensity for a good while in this game. Particularly would like to see the OL show just more nastiness overall. Finally saw some in the 4th quarter when BC started their drive from the 9 yard line and Lindstrom pancaked some WF linebacker 5 yards downfield and got up screaming like a maniac.

Teddy I watched every play of that game. I was with one of the people who posts here, occasionally.

I usually agree with you, you know that. Yes, the call that was "overturned" to BE a TD (yeah refs for getting that one right on review) was not the best pass, but it was successful. And yes, Jeff Smith with speed made some other mediocre passing plays look exceptional. But remember, BC wasn't on the field all that much for Brown to have all that many passes. That is because they had so many big TD plays which really shortened their offensive scheme and put much on the shoulders of the defense to eat the clock. Brown did what he had to do to win the game. With what Wake Forest did (11 in the box, as you said) it was entirely his responsibility. He got the job done with all that pressure. That was the best game of his career.

The Smith TD didn't need to be anywhere near the back line. Awful throw.

He's a college QB coming back from a major injury and he threw for over 300 yards, 5 TDs and no INTs. Darius Wade could only dream of a game like that.

I'm surprised they didn't have more designed run plays for Brown or some RPO. I think there was one QB draw and that was it.

Absent bad special teams BC wins by 28. Is like to be a contrarian but BC beat a bad team and gifted then most of their points.

Yeah, he was decent. I'm reserving judgement for now!

Other than that, I thought OLine run blocking looked very poor. Dillon seemed to get stuck behind the line frequently, yet ended up with 180-something on 33 carries, so what do I know? I guess Brown was simply decent!

He played mediocre to average in the first half and well in the second. Box score analysis does not give you a full picture. But I’m sure you know that.


Brown barely hit wide open guys. 3 of the TDs were poorly thrown balls to guys with no one around and a fourth, to smith was WAY underthrown. The TD to Glines was the only one that was great.


Brown played the best game of his very short BC career today. He didn't have many passing plays and the few he had, the receivers were wide open. But he hit the receivers, they caught the balls, and they scored touchdowns. There weren't all that many bad passing plays (except the ones where the receivers were tackled for losses, lol!) Brown HAD to have the best game of his career today for the team to win the game. And why? Wake went 100% on defense to stop the run, didn't give a damn about pass defense. And even still, A J had a decent game (not his best, but a decent game.) Given Wake's defensive scheme, it was the responsibility for Brown to be the man to win the game for the team. He succeeded.


You didn't watch the game. One TD had to be overturned, another was reviewed, and a third was only a TD because Jeff Smith is so fast he made up for a shit throw. I'm happy with brown but that team was dogshit with 11 in the box. He'd better do that.


He's a college QB coming back from a major injury and he threw for over 300 yards, 5 TDs and no INTs. Darius Wade could only dream of a game like that.

I'm surprised they didn't have more designed run plays for Brown or some RPO. I think there was one QB draw and that was it.


He's actually just not accurate. Never has been. But he's good enough to beat bad teams that sell out in the box.

Brown was excellent today. He was the reason why we are all either a little happy or mildly annoyed VS being batfuck BPD crazy right now. Wake's game plan was almost brilliant. Basically:

  • Stop AJ Dillon at ALL COSTS (even if it means BC receivers are wide open all night, which they were)
  • Go with a hurry up offense to "gas" BC's defense
  • Be opportunistic on special teams
  • Don't have any penalties

I think Wake played to the maximum of that team's ability tonight and their game plan (utterly ignoring BC's passing game, just hoping for dropped passes) had a slim shot of actually getting a win. They needed Brown to miss a few, which he didn't. They needed the receivers to drop a few, which they didn't. So, its all good.


Drops by WRs have been a staple of BC offense for a LONG time so it is worth highlighting your point that WRs did not drop anything tonight I believe.

Biggest drop was by the defense on the Hamp Cheevers dropped INT and that was a huge, potentially devastating drop that put like another dozen plays on our defense, easily 3 points if Wake took the FG, and a lot of field position.

It will be interesting to see how this team develops. I thought overall they lacked intensity for a good while in this game. Particularly would like to see the OL show just more nastiness overall. Finally saw some in the 4th quarter when BC started their drive from the 9 yard line and Lindstrom pancaked some WF linebacker 5 yards downfield and got up screaming like a maniac.


Agree with all of this. Brown (and the receivers not dropping easy passes) won the game for BC.

The team is actually very good.

I assume you’re referring to wake. the bc team on the field was average, at best


no

of course. 10-2. This is the greatest team ever and it totally showed on the field. I’m sorry I commented on a high school football game that I watched that clearly wasn’t our superior team that is totally awesome at everything (and not just on papers)

I guess it looked different live

And I guess it’s weird special teams was bad since they were so good in the first two games.

6-6. maybe 7-5

AJ Dillon won that game for BC. He'd dominated the run game and he's the sole reason Wake didn't cover anyone.

He's not accurate, I agree. But they are not taking advantage of his athleticism. He does have the arm to make the throws. Wade could only throw 5 yard outs.

Wade was scared to throw more than 5 yard outs. That's coaching.

Well 10-2 just because well 10-2.

This team is the most skilled on offense in probably ten years.
The defense is very good against the pass and so far weak against the run.
ST is comically bad. Hopefully lichtenberg can get healthy and we can find a long snapper.

I think ST can be fixed but I worry if we can stop the run. If we can improve in that facet of the game as well, then this team really could go 10-2. There, i said it.

p&s - the hurricane was really bad and I hope the extra two hours helped the team get home okay.

I had to turn my rear defroster on for my drive home. It was a little humid, and dry and not at all rainy or windy. Two-hours-early assholes
