Wake

[Mo 2.0]

Dave appears to have built a hell of a team this fall. I'm sure they'll slip on a banana peel or two before they go to Death Valley on 11/9. But that might be a hell of a game.

 

[ncspiderfan]

The transfer Mustapha we lost to Wake just recovered a fumble.
Hate Spiders lost him, but still glad Wake got him if we had to lose him.

 

[Eight Legger]

Clemson appears to be a shadow of its former self right now. Wake and UNC may have the best offenses in the league.

 

[32counter]

This would have been a better year to play UVA(next year) than Tech.

Dave Clawson is a hell of a coach. He is consistently winning @ Wake, probably the most difficult power 5 job. I said it last week after our loss to nova: Coaching matters. DCs teams are disciplined and his players get better every year. I'm pulling for Wake to go into Desth Valley undefeated. Go Deacs

Agreed. Downside of recruiting at this level. You do too well and you lose the kids.

 

[GKiller]

Another solid win for Wake. Good to have some remaining rooting interests rest of year.

 

[Eight Legger]

Got any Dave assistants we can hire as head coach next year?

 

[Mo 2.0]

Deacs stay undefeated today, surely moving up from their current #19.

Mike Elko, Clawson's LB coach here in 2004-5 seasons is currently calling a masterpiece as DC for Texas A&M against Alabama.

 

[SFspidur]

The last time Wake was 6–0 was 1944.

 

[SpiderK]

Wow, the Hokies choked just like UR usually does.

 

[DTSpider]

Good game on TV with Wake @ Army. West Point is an outstanding game day atmosphere. Also noticed that Mustapha has played a ton…unfortunate to lose that type of talent.

 

[Wood Hall]

The last time (I think) we played Wake we absolutely destroyed them, 42-0 or something like that, at City Stadium in 1973. We had a pretty darn good football program at one time.

And yes, Michie Stadium is a great place to watch CFB. Have been lucky enough to go to a game there. I wish we'd play them; they generally schedule 1 or 2 FCS teams, VMI played there several years ago.

 

[Mo 2.0]

Wake up to 70 points. At our present clip, it would take about 6 or 7 games to muster than many.

Only if we schedule a couple of non scholarship teams in those 6 or 7.

Maybe 10 games

“There’s no one else on the planet running what they run,” said an opposing coach. “[Ruggiero] is the best offensive coordinator in the country and Clawson is the best coach in the ACC. It’s not even close. How Michiganor someone like that doesn’t go after him is nuts. I know it’s not sexy, but rarely do you see a team fix their flaws on offense from year to year like they do.”

[Mo 2.0]

Could OC Ruggiero be a candidate here?

 

[Eight Legger]

He's a Blue Hen. 🤔

 

[urfan1]

Rocco was at Richmond, and I bet he would seek Dave's counsel

 

[GKiller]

Rocco was at Richmond, and I bet he would seek Dave's counsel

for what

 

[urfan1]

Rocco was at Richmond, and I bet he would seek Dave's counsel

maybe should have been more clear, the comment was Ruggerio is a Blue Hen, my response was two fold, Rocco left here to go to UD (things aren't working so well) so you can make the argument Richmond is still the better place to work, and if he leaves Wake I've got to believe he will speak to Clawson about his future. I have no doubt Dave would tell him Richmond is a good place to work

 

[SFspidur]

Deacs are 8–0 for the first time ever after steamrolling Duke. Got a shot at breaking into the top 10 this week.

[DTSpider]

Wake in the top 10 and Clemson unranked…crazy. Not sure that he’d take it but expect one of the SEC or Big 10 programs to throw a ridiculous amount of cash at him.

 

[urfan1]

How about Michigan, follow Beilein's move

 

[Eight Legger]

If they lose to OSU again, that might be it for Harbaugh. Would be a good fit for Clawson like it was for JB.

 

[Mo 2.0]

4:30 minute mark. Dave is starting to feel it. Go Deacs.

 

[GKiller]

If Harbaugh leaves could Clawson be in the mix? He should if Michigan were smart tho at this point I won’t expect it. He’s got a good team returning at Wake but it’s Michigan.

 

[spider fan]

GK - they were smart enough to hire Beilein so you never know.................

 

[DTSpider]

While he’d be an outstanding hire, he’s known as a build from scratch guy. Michigan thinks they are a perennial contender. I can see them foolishly wanting “a higher profile”.

 

[712_VT]

I wanted Clawson really bad at VT after we fired Fuente. Sadly we couldn’t get him from wake which is a bad look for us. Instead we are stuck with Brent pry who I think is an awful hire.

Wake Forest star QB Hartman out indefinitely

Wake Forest will be without starting quarterback Sam Hartman for "an extended period of time" because of a non-football-related issue, the school announced Wednesday, but head coach Dave Clawson insisted Hartman will return at some point this season.

www.espn.com

Clawson and Wake have a good team with strong prospects again, not what they wanted to see. hopefully Hartman able to return.
