Wake Forest Post Game Thread

Against different competition. Wake is at the bottom of the ACC in defense but they looked better to me than Temple in our last two games.

Wake defense is better than temples. I mean, come on people.

Mora’s got a 5 year plan going forward - 2 years of Evers followed by 3 of Welliver. He’ll get his turn as a backup next year and then he’ll lead us to the promised land over the next 3.

This all assumes we can keep him…

I actually think the plan is more accelerated than you think.

I think this year is a year for Welliver to mature, understand the play book and concepts, and sharpen his skills. Next year, I fully expect there to be a legit competition between those two QBs (and any other portal acquisitions) to start...

I think Tenple’s DL was actually better.

Wake has a very poor pass defense. This is documented.

We can go in circles, but the data doesn’t support this. I gave the team defense ratings above. How about passer rating against?

Temple - 67th (131.6)
Wake - 117th (155.2)

None of this is apples to apples, but let’s not pretend Evers was throwing against a good defense.

The P4 schedule is light years ahead of what temple does. Wake Forest strength of schedule is 50. Temple is 98.

They have games against Clemson, ole Miss, Virginia , nc state already.

UConn is 4-0 against G6 teams and 0-3 against P4. There is a reason for that.

Redshirting is not a bad thing with Welliver. He needs weight room strength and add some mobility. We know he has the arm.

agreed. i shoudl have said that I did not mean that comment as in, "welliver must play now" in 2024 - that imaginary QB i'm talking about, might not even be Welliver.

• UConn's QB may still not be on the roster
• I would hate if CW left before getting a legit shot at the job (next year or whenever)

"assumes" is right - I love your plan in a pre-NIL/revenue share world, where the recruiting door is high school. But in this world, there is no more front door. anyone can come in and save the day. So the 2+3 model with those boys is unlikely, in this age.

IMO - (all else equal or better than UConn, program-wise) would YOU wait if you had a more promising offer to make an immediate impact at another FBS school?
