Lots of links regarding the State game Saturday naturally. It seems like the big focus right now is the matchup between the Deacs'and the Wolfpack's respective offensive styles. Makes sense. But one of the two teams is going to do one or both of two things: execute, or step up defensively.

"Maybe having a drop in the second quarter, that’s detrimental, too," he said. "But you have a chance to make it up. After that play (on the last series), that was the game." Williams was devastated by the incompletion. Instead of returning to Winston-Salem with the team as he had planned, he went home to Durham and agonized about the play. "I got some home loving before I went back to campus," he said.

But it's our responsibility to put it in the end zone. And I feel like until we do that we can't be considered a great offense yet.''
Not a complete prediction " Cardiac Pack
Wake Forest has the No. 1 offense in the ACC, averaging more than 400 yards per game. And it’s not that 400+ yards a game is all that impressive, it’s the way Wake Forest gets those yards.

As of this morning I think that’s one of the major keys to the game.
