I’d argue that the Jurk we saw tonight… who spent most of his time throwing Grosel-like pop-flies would have this team undefeated in an unimpressive, Wake-like fashion. The fear that there is a chance he could grip the ball long enough to hit one of the many wide open receivers 1/3 of the time, is enough to remove folks from the box. But, the threat to run is what truly separates him and what turns those 4 inexcusable losses to Ws.
Jurkovec’s throws will get crisper week by week as the pain recedes and he shakes off the rust. But if Wake remains undefeated when we play them Thanksgiving weekend, the ACC crew will desperately protect them. Phantom pass interference, poor spots, quick whistles and slanted enforcement on holding are all in play. We’ll need Jurkovec at his best to win a shootout against a high-powered ref-assisted Wake team trying to squeak into the CFP on behalf of the conference.
Wake will be Jurk and Zay's last game. We will win and knock Wake out of any playoff talk.
