Carolina vs Wake Forest game thread—-Saturday 12 November

[IDUNK4HEELS]

This game on paper looks like a old fashion shoot out because both teams are the tops in the ACC in offense proficiency but they also bring up the rear in defense proficiency…

I understand why the Demon Deacons are a slight favorite because they are at home unlike the last two years. They are coming off two straight games with losses featuring a ton of turnovers and they are pissed off and lastly they have a five year senior at quarterback who puts up big numbers.

I believe Drake Maye will have to carry UNC in the air and with his legs to keep Carolina in the game and somehow the defense will have to come up with some stops and turnovers to keep the winning streak on the road intact…

Deacs are already disappointed with their season. Beating UNC would get them over most of that disappointment. UNC is playing to get to the ACC Championship Game, and keep Maye in the Heisman hunt. The stakes are hug for each team.

Can we force Wake to turn it over like Louisville did? If not, can we contain the Wake offense?

state sucks…carolina will hammer them.

 

[gteeitup]

really hope carolina has learned to defend that slow rpo at this point.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

A actual Carolina blitz causes a holding penalty and a illegal procedure penalty and Wake after one first down must punt and that is a stop 🛑 for UNC

 

[gteeitup]

i’d pressure all night

 

[strummingram]

Touch Downs!

 

[gteeitup]

new wrinkle by longo…love it

BC is good for something after all.

 

[uncboy10]

Perfect start

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Maye hits Downs for six as Carolina marches 91 yards on their first possession to go up 7-0. Nesbitt with three clutch catches on the long drive…

 

[WoadBlue]

He could use all 3 TEs lined up as FB/RB that way.

 

[gteeitup]

He could use all 3 TEs lined up as FB/RB that way.

i would…not only for protection, but also for hots.

 

[strummingram]

Holy mother!

 

[WoadBlue]

That blitz was perfect even if he did not make the sack.

 

[gteeitup]

keep bringing it chiz!!

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

A SECOND Blitz and again Wake must punt again. Stop 🛑 number two

 

[WoadBlue]

i would…not only for protection, but also for hots.

Yep. Lots of possibilities.

 

[WoadBlue]

Great catch by Antoine Green.

 

[strummingram]

Hot diggity dog!

 

[WoadBlue]

Green seems to be a n name working ideally for us tonight.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Green untouched from five yards out after a great catch by the wide receiver Green gets the team close as Maye is on fire early…14-0

 

[WoadBlue]

Refs will be looking for penalties to call on our D this possession after Clawson ripped them for not calling face mask on Murphy.

 

[strummingram]

That was a legit gripe. He was facemasked and no one called it.

 

[WoadBlue]

Perry is a handful - 6-5 with good hands and speed.

 

[WoadBlue]

Wake now moving ball methodically.

 

[strummingram]

sheezus... that was too easy!

 

[WoadBlue]

And Hartman's pass gets Deacs on the board.

 

[uncboy10]

Should've been OPI

 

[WoadBlue]

sheezus... that was too easy!

Yep - an old tale: UNC looks good one offense, and then UNC D goes soft.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

After 5 first downs Hartman hits Morin from 7 yards out and the shoot out as every one expected has officially started 14-7.

 

[IDUNK4HEELS]

Nice kickoff return by Hardy

 

[WoadBlue]

Nice kickoff return.

 

[NBBears20124ACHAMPS]

Yep - an old tale: UNC looks good one offense, and then UNC D goes soft.

Well, yea if you don't count the first two drives for Wake that netted 0 points while UNC put up 14.

 

[WoadBlue]

Green misread that pass.

 

[strummingram]

Green should have caught that!

 

[strummingram]

2 drops in a row

 

[WoadBlue]

Now Downs fails to bring in a pass that was there.

 

[WoadBlue]

Nice cut back by Downs to secure 1st down.
