It’s easy to criticize. It’s easy to blame. It’s easy to pile on. But I’m not going to do that after Wake Forest made it easy for Duke to beat them last night with a field goal to go ahead 24-21 as the clock struck zero after, almost beyond imagination, Wake committed two unsportsmanlike penalties […]
The University of Pittsburgh has a tradition of excellence in football that dates back to 1890. The Pitt Panthers have won Nine National Championships and many of the greatest players in the history of football are proud to call Pitt their alma mater. Pitt boasts 99 First Team All-Americans, 25 members in the College Football […]
Normally composed and engaging during post-game press conferences, Wake Forest football coach Dave Clawson showed a different side of who he is after his team got out-schemed while losing lamely to a pedestrian Virginia Tech team, 30-13. This was his team’s third straight loss. The coach unleashed 41 negative words to describe his team’s poor […]
I’m feeling fully alive — about Death Valley — where Wake Forest will play on Saturday against Clemson. This will be our game. Even though Clemson is favored by 21 points. A wonderful Wake Forest football victory is coming our way. You’re not misreading this. I got these vibes today listening to Wake’s football coach, […]
My quest continued this week to figure out the Wake Forest delayed run-pass option mesh offensive scheme – one of the most clever, mystifying, and effective strategies in all of sports. I went to a source I figured could unpack this thing for me so I could fill you in on football’s blackest box. His […]
You saw the young man struggle last week. Adversity almost swallowed him whole. He heaved a duck interception – it went the other way for a touchdown. Even worse, inside Old Dominion’s 10-yard line, he committed football’s biggest sin: he fumbled the ball. That one went 90 yards the other way for six. Then he […]
Dave Clawson is not your typical football coach – not even close. He’s a well-educated man who speaks well, is authentic, doesn’t get into bravado and bluster, and has class. Nowhere in the country can you listen to a more interesting, engaging, and thought-provoking weekly college football coach’s press conference than the ones held by […]
On the brink of a disastrous loss and trailing 17-0 at half-time, Wake Forest’s football team (now 3 and 0) dug deep and managed to come back from the dead and get past Old Dominion University, 27-24. The team’s quarterback, Mitch Griffis, made up for an extremely shaky game and two awful first-half turnovers, and […]
Pennsylvania is known for its football heroes. A few of the greatest quarterbacks ever, Joe Montana and Dan Marino, came from there. The state is also where plenty of great linebackers grew up such as Jack Ham who went on to star with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The state now can be proud to have another […]
In a start and stop and start again game – triggered by a 100-minute, field-emptying stall due to lightning and a serious downpour that turned 11 am into something that looked like 8 pm – Wake Forest ran over Vanderbilt today, 36-20. After the prolonged stoppage of play as the skies cleared and the sun […]
