FB: Wake Forest 24, Duke 23

[awhom111]

Of the bad streaks that Duke Football has collected over the years, the one against Wake has to be one of the most frustrating. Some of the recent losses have happened in extremely painful and unusual ways.

Here is the list of broadcast affiliates for the ACC Network this weekend:

We are WAY overdue to win this game. GO DUKE!!!!!

[OldPhiKap]

Okay, next play. Time to focus on the Deacs. We have been overdue to win this one, with so many close games. Come on Devils, get it to 4-4!!!!

[DukeSean]

I am totally on board with you, would love to see us rebound and take out Wake after so many heartbreaking losses in years recent, but I'd much rather prefer 4-3

[OZZIE4DUKE]

Let's Go DUKE! Beat Wake! Go To Hell carolina! 9F!

Would be awfully nice if we could beat Wake on Thursday night as well as Saturday afternoon.

Okay 11 years is enough. Time to beat the Deacons. No more missed field goals that cost games, or late drives for that matter. Bring the A game like they did against Tulane. Defense needs to forget about FSU and focus on stopping Tanner Price and his weapons. On offense cut down on the mistakes. Desmond Scott showed flashes of his old self and it would be nice to see Thompson get lose once or twice. And when all else fails throw the ball to Conner Vernon. If he wrote a book he should call it "Just give me the damn ball too." He is something to watch when Renfree can get him the ball.

No excuses Devils. This is the biggest game of the year. We have to play with a fiery passion.

If we lose playing the way we played against Florida State, I will be upset and have valid complaints. If we lose playing the way we did against Tulane and FIU, I will acknowledge that Wake has the better team this year. This is one of the few years that I would be willing to do that; we sure as hell have had and blew our chances previously. I don't think this team will lose due to folding at the end of the game like we have seen.
Cut says this is the best Wake team he has seen, I agree.

"It's been a war every year. I have great respect for Jim Grobe, and I think this may be the best Wake team of the four we've played. Probably is,"

I know folks are a bit down about FSU. But don't you just get the sense that this program might be one big win from turning a huge corner?!? Don't know if Wake would qualify - maybe needs to be a ranked opponent - but the best analogy I have is Duke MBB beating UNLV in '91. Yes, I realize that K's program was pretty damn good before then -more than one FF in the preceding few years - but that win escalated Duke MBB to a whole 'nother plateau. I sure would love to see us beat a VPI, Ga Tech, or nearly-ranked NC@CH soon... I think you start winning the occasional ranked opponent game and good things can cascade (recruiting, media coverage, confidence, fans, etc).

Still, just imagine the lift if we DO beat Wake this Saturday....

Go Duke!

My older daughter gets married at 5PM Saturday and OPK wished me a good day all around and this plan just might work.

[DonnyDevil]

Don't worry... my 3 year old son and I will be there. Duke is 5-0 when he is at the game! I decided to take my daughter to her first game last weekend with the 2 of us and we all know what happened... so she is no longer allowed to come to the game! (Just Kidding... kinda) Go Duke!

C Brian Moore (arm) – Questionable
WR Donovan Varner (leg) – Questionable
CB Johnny Williams (leg) – Questionable

It's nice to see that Matt Daniels has cleared this list entirely, and that Brian Moore has moved "up" from Out to Questionable. Doesn't mean he'll play, but let's hope that both he and Harding can. We know Varner has a hammy problem and that those can be tricky - one wrong tweak and he's lost for weeks, and this is his senior season. Vibes for no wrong tweaks, Dondo! Also noting that neither Scott nor Snead is listed!

I thought I'd share my Duke-Wake preview for anyone interested in reading. I know some of you read my blog and I'd love for more of you to as well. Anyway here is the link

She's a unc grad, so it will be the wrong color.
