Wake Forest weak

[Eagle1999]

Wake’s starting receivers are 6’3 and 6’5. That’s not even close to small. Anyway, it doesn’t matter. We’re getting wrecked.

[twballgame9]

No one is getting wrecked. They will lose but they will score. Wake 42, BC 33, missed tackles on Dillon and Bailey in the 30s.

[2001Eagle]

Wake 41 BC 24

This is about right.

[Eaglekeeper]

We are bend, bending and broke defensive scheme team.

Epstein is correct, we need the Don Brown defense to disrupt the timing of the QB and WR’s and we need to put heavy pressure on their QB. You can’t give the QB time to pick apart this defense.

And please, no fucking hurry up to run up the middle offense!

Go Eagles!

The hurry-up run offense is really dumb. If you're going to run our style of offense, you should be bleeding the play-clock similar to a Georgia Tech under Paul Johnson.

If Dillon is truly dynamic, the last thing we should be doing is crowding the box with 3 TEs. We should be spreading formations so that (at worst) we're forcing only one v. one tackling. It's not surprising that we're the only idiots in the nation to be running an up-tempo power run game.

Spreading the formation only works if you have a legit passing threat. We don’t.

The hurry-up power game is unique and can work. But, I agree with eppy, there isn’t any reason to be snapping the ball with 30 seconds left on the play clock. Line up to prevent subs... but, then mix it up as to your actually snap. This is especially the case when the D has let up one of their typical soul-crushing 15 play drives.

[eepstein0]

I ordinarily would be annoyed I have a wedding to attend and will miss this game.

After that Kansas game I couldn’t care less.

So, I get the impression that unlike preseason predictions, a throttling at the hands of Wake should it happen won 't come as a big surprise, and won't appreciably affect Addazio's job security??

Daz is in must-win territory from here on out. With zero-chance games against Clemson and ND and games against teams who will be heavy favorites in NCS and Pitt... his path to 8 wins all but disappears with any other loss. So, a close loss or a throttling won't make much of a difference. All that a throttling would show is that Daz has lost the team.

My predictions for Saturday:

1 BC will win this game but it will be close and frustrating at times. Fully expect that there will be a epic meltdown in the gameday thread after a hurry-up 3 and out or bad defensive stand.
2 Daz is safe regardless of whether or not he gets 8 wins. To think otherwise is to be naive.
3 AB will have 60% passing day with multiple TDs. Will also gain a ton of yards on the ground.

BC 38-34

I'm giving you 5 Karma Hansen. Since there is not much to be happy about, we need positive thinking here. You are keeping up the good fight.

do we have any assurance marty j won't be satisfied with another 7-5 season?

I think he understands that he’ll have to improve the football program to get a real big job. I imagine the challenge for him is getting Leahy on board.

[ATLeagle]

I think the consistent Top 25 team with the special team (10-2) when the stars align is fair for BC. It was essentially how things worked from TOB to Jags to Spaz's early years. Addazio will never put together those special years. He doesn't coach that way.

Marty has been talking about 7-5 being fine most years, but that we have to "pop" for 9/10/11 every so often, and that he has been led to believe that this is the "pop" year. I believe that everyone (including Daz) fully expects a firing with a 6-6 record or worse.

"Pop" year would be next year when AJ Dillon, AB, and most of the offensive and defensive lines, would be Seniors. This team is the 2006 team (in age) with far LESS talent.

Based solely on talent, last year should have been the year. That said, the ACC this year is clearly Clemson and everyone else. VA and Syracuse were the pre-season darlings, but both look very average thus far. I don’t see us as heavy underdogs against anyone else: every game is legit winnable. So hopefully we win...half of them?

Wasted opportunity this year for certain. Next year could be exciting, though I doubt Dillon sticks around. With his perceived limitations at the next level the last thing he needs is more wear & tear.

Bailey will be more than fine as a replacement. Right now, I see the two as more or less interchangeable. Dillon doesn't seem to be the game changer he was in 2017.

I was there and heard the same thing. The wishful thinking in me heard 7 wins don't cut it (how can you be in top 25 with 7 wins?). That being said, I am more of a realist and 7 wins this year will keep the Heinz Hammer around for next year.

[BCEagles25]

I’m of the belief the best team Wake has played is Utah State. I’m not completely sold on Wake until they play an ACC team on the road - we’re the guinea pig, so let’s see. Our secondary is bad and their passing offense is good so I’ll say:

Wake 34, BC 24

Funny how the " pop" year ( I guess since a one and done is now the acceptable standard???) keeps sliding to the right on the time line....Dazzler used to talk year 5 when BC would compete for ACC eminence; then it was gonna be last year (year 6) with the talent and experience; apparently, year 7 is slipping away, so now lets all look forward to year 8 as the "pop" year...comical! I guess baseless hope springs eternal.

[tallsy]

Daz is safe regardless of whether or not he gets 8 wins. To think otherwise is to be naive.

I'm normally a pessimist but no way Daz survives 3-9 or 4-8. 5-7 is the big question mark, and of course, that's what we'll wind up.
