šŸˆ Virginia at Wake Forest, W, 31-30, 2-0 (1-0 ACC), Saturday, 7 September 2024, 1900, ESPN2

Watching a truly horrible defense is the worse feeling in sports. You feel so helpless all the time. Like your offense has to be perfect to make up for it.

Unfortunately we’ve had horrible defenses almost exclusively in recent years.

Allowing them sooooo much space on the strong side of the field. I understand not wanting to get bit by the slow mesh/play action but at some point something’s gotta give.

True this one isnt horrible. Just ineffective which may be worse. Rather we give up the big plays and have some fun in a shoot out

Elliott is a dead man walking

How much do you blame coaches for all of these injuries? (Genuine question, don’t know how this works in football)

I’m of the opinion it’s probably just bad luck, but if anyone was to blame it would likely be the S&C coach. Very underrated part of well ran football programs.

Why cant we be a wake forest level program? They are owning us and outclassing us (of course time left).

That dying goose was our best chance to end this drive

Got lucky on the missed throw and keep it a two score game. HAVE to convert on this next drive.

Not that impressed with Wake actually

Their coach is a very good X’s and O’s guy. Their stuff is annoying, but it’s extremely strategic.

I stand by I’m not convinced they’re actually this much better than us, but they are absolutely this much football smarter than us. That’s all coaching.

Thinking about the state and future of our football program is incredibly depressing.

It’s absolutely a bar we should be able to meet, but even then it’s not saying much. The vast majority of Clawson’s tenure has been scheduling for success, their record in conference play is pretty bad.

With that being said they always kick our ass so can’t criticize them too much.

Gotta look at the S&C coach and the training staff. What are these guys doing build themselves up? How are they warming up cooling down.

Also tough in football because falling getting hit etc happens

Here we go. A TD and a stop, and this game is still up for grabs

we have lost 5 straight to WF (albeit spaced out over a few years since 2007)

There’s Furnish’s penalty, right on cue.

Playcalling abysmal
