2-3 with wins over Nc State and Nc A&T and losses to UVA, Ole Miss and the Rajin Cajuns of Louisiana. They could easily be 4-1 in Dabo Speak because they lost two games by a combined 3 points.
The Ugly....
124th in Total defense
105th in Scoring D.
126th in first downs allowed on D
108th in Team Sacks
126th in Passing Yards allowed
They numbers are less disgusting on offense but this is not a traditional Wake Forest team that wins on turnover margin and solid defense. They have to get into a high scoring affair with you. Their QB, with six years of college experience is not a mobile running guy. He is going to throw the ball alot. The guy is a few completions shy of 10,000 yards in his college career. He has less than 150 yards rushing in 6 years of playing ball. He has been sacked 13 times already this year. However they have gone for it 14 times on fourth down this year and have converted 71% of those attempts.
Their kicker is 9-9 on the year and has range. They have a punt return for a TD this year as well.
This is normally a spot on the schedule I would expect a let down but I feel the Vandy/Bama result and the upsets of the last week in CFB should get these Tigers focused. This is the kind of team that will not quit and has nothing to lose, playing at home.
