Martini got sucked in the drive after Onwualu got hurt and allowed a big run. That's gonna hurt against Stanford

 

[texbender]

We were resting some key guys ... Lots of inexperienced players in today. Nobody got hurt. I'll take a 21 point win next week too if it means the starters come back to play Stanford. Part of me wanted to role these guys, but I'll take a 21 point win in the bank any day.

Agree with you....but
1.ugliest game of the year
2.if they score a couple of their redzone possessions this is a different game
3.take away a 98 yard run, and......??????
4.if your mission for the game is to rest people (CJ....who else?) great, but our offense should roll without him....to me, it really didn't. Not that many sustained drives vs one of our weakest opponents
5.we did sustain injury....#17.
6. I'll take a win any day, but minus a long run and a interception TD, we didn't do squat vs them. And they seemed to move up and down the field all day.
7. 9-1 always better than 8-2

Agree with you....but
1.ugliest game of the year- disagree UVA does too
2.if they score a couple of their redzone possessions this is a different game- if this was Mars we'd suffocate.
3.take away a 98 yard run, and......?????? And we'd win by 2 touchdowns. One of our biggest wins of the year still.
4.if your mission for the game is to rest people (CJ....who else?) great, but our offense should roll without him....to me, it really didn't. Not that many sustained drives vs one of our weakest opponents.
We played a very basic gameplan. No gimmicks.
5.we did sustain injury....#17. Yup. Most teams do. Every game every year.
6. I'll take a win any day, but minus a long run and a interception TD, we didn't do squat vs them. And they seemed to move up and down the field all day. What are you afraid of? Another NC ass whooping? That was always the goal and chance.
7. 9-1 always better than 8-2.
You sure Chicken Little!? I mean maybe 7-5 suits you better?

Other then that play he didn't do to bad.

Just got back to Indy from the game. Tailgating was a blast, beautiful day, and had a great time.

I don't recall seeing him wearing glasses at all on A Season With.

He always has in the past.

I don't know if he got contacts or Lasik, but he wore glasses through high school.

Exactly what I thought. A couple of ten yard runs and the rest looked awful. This was prevent offense. Kelly is smart and doesn't go the whip unless he needs to. I really think number 34 is more of a true RB. Folsten is head and shoulders above them all as a true RB and would have had more yards than Procuse by now. He can carry the ball 25 times a game.

Don't look now, but 'number 34' is Dexter Williams, a running back with great potential, but unfortunately the inability to keep his quarterback from being slaughtered by the blitzing linebacker he cannot figure out how to pick up.

So I agree that everyone has the right to post their own opinion, and that included people I don't agree with, and it includes you. BUT. Stop and think about it, saying 'number 34' without taking time to look up his name on any of the 27 sources of ND 2015 roster sources you can find on google, or spelling Prosise, "Procuse," or Folston as "Folsten," does not lend you much credibility. And if you are trying to make the point that Folston, or Folsten, let alone anyone else would have more yardage that Prosise, I think you need to rethink the effort. It isn't about whether or not; it is about why! Why even add something like that? It is the one untestable hypothesis you could make it your post that had no connection to your original post.

A good rule of thumb is that a hypothesis needs to have a connection to your post thesis, or reality, or it really looks bad.

Another tip is that if you enter the names of ND players in your spell check, and spell check your post before pressing 'save,' you don't even have to remember how to spell their names. (I usually don't have a problem with any ND players, Onwualu = 'u' before 'a,') but it really helps with those outside the program to whom I would like to refer like Pat Narduzzi. See I tried to spell 'Narduchi' but it didn't even work! Let alone Ken Niumatalolo! [Yeah, Ken, you bastard! I got your name down!])

We could go on, but make this product of yours a good one, so we can hear what you really have to say!

That being said anyone who doesn't think Adams is a Heisman contender before he graduates, has dog-shit intuition.

How'd dexter Williams do and we're there any injuries?

Did not play much. Nothing in the way of stats. Onowalu hurt his knee. No info on how bad.

My strong impression is Dexter is paying for letting the Pitt linebacker lower the boom on Wimbush last week. If CJ hadn't been spared, Dexter might be riding the bench even to play on the practice squad!

And I will bet James Onwualu has a season ending injury. My guess, but he is scheduled for an MRI today.

Only one team beat Wake by more than we did. Wake's score was abetted by a BS roughing the snapper penalty on a punt. We were flat, energy-disappated by the senior day distraction, and still won by 21. OK State stunk it up. Navy and Pitt and USC made us look good. Not sure what anyone wants.

This is certainly the truth, unfiltered, as seen with clarity, and through no personal filter.

I am not sure that we were flat. As I am not sure as the Demon Deacons are as bad as others believe. There is a huge difference between being bad, and not knowing how to win.

Their punter is a great example. Has the NCAA record for attempts. But the guy is a boomer, and normally is great at pinning the opponents deep. ND flipped the field yesterday because they are a championship team. But Wake Forrest is better than their record.

AND, this is an extremely important point in discussing the score. The refereeing of the game should be investigated and prosecuted under Federal RICO statutes!

• WF's o-line was guilty of one or more flagrant holding calls on every play I had a chance to watch.
• The reversed double top secret sideline personal foul, that even the supervisor of ACC refs said on the broadcast should have been a penalty.
• The phantom call, need I say more?
• The fact that WF's db's were assaulting ND receivers often and regularly, and;
• Hell, even Wake Forest receivers were committing uncalled offensive interference.

This last point incensed KeiVarae Russell to such a degree that he started becoming a headhunter (consistently) for the first time this season.

First, I was at the game and still don't understand the roughing the passer (that's what was announced but was it roughing the punter?) that gave them the ball back after the late punt which lead to their score.

Had an awesome time for my 10 year olds first visit.

Yeah, last row but corner of teh end zone and I would take these seats every time. I loved them. No one kicking me in the back.

Just me and the kids hanging with Corey Mays, Brian Smith and Javin Hunter...

...

The penatly was for Roughing The Center. On punts the center is protected when vulnerable with his head down and arms on follow through of the long snap. BUT the center was NOT hit in the act of snapping nor in follow through or recovery. He had completed the snap, stood up erect, and taken a step back as a blocker. In the process of stepping back he didn't come straight back but step partly to one side making contact with a rushing defender who did not make contact with the center during the long snap process.

It was a bad call. There was incidental contact AFTER the snap, a step behind the line of scrimmage. The center was no longer vulnerable but was taking an offensive (blocking) posture when brushed against.

 

[Old Man Mike]

BGIF is, as usual, exactly correct. That call was so bad that it's a bit difficult to imagine how any ref could have made it. I don't remember that the center even went down.

 

[IrishinTN]

And I still think Wakes coach should have been flagged for his tirades. Not rewarded with picking up the flag.

 

[texbender]

ACC refs live up to their dubious reputation....absolutely some of the worst.
