Today we've got a lot of different stuff. We take a look ahead to the huge game at Clemson on Saturday, and turn to our friends at Shakin the Southland for a depth chart analysis.
We also have some women's basketball, volleyball, women's soccer, and men's soccer links for y'all to take a look at!
Enjoy!
Shakin The Southland - For Clemson Tigers Fans
In this article we'll look at the Defensive Back participation charts. While Clemson plays a 4-3 base, we're almost never in a 4-3 set, and against most opponents we spend a majority of the game in a Nickel 4-2-5 and an occasional Dime set. In the Nickel, we use 2 LBs (Mac and Money), and there is no requirement that the Money be a true LB (Gilchrist often played the Money). Occasionally, against a strong passing squad, you'll see the FS or SS used there

And now Wake has a chance to either lose to another good team, or put a twist on the college football season nobody is expecting outside of a collection of young men from North Carolina's Triad region. "I know we'll be ready," said Deacons tailback Brandon Pendergrass.

Wake Forest Review: Doing the Right Thing - One Foot Down
Notre Dame came into the game against Wake Forest missing a pair of three years starters at defensive end. In their place, two highly-touted freshmen saw significant minutes. No matter how many stars Rivals gave them out of high school, there's always going to be a drop-off when going from seniors to freshmen. Maybe not surprisingly, Notre Dame struggled defensively early in the game. The Demon Deacons put up 17 points and over 200 yards of offense in the first half. But in the second half, the defense tightened up and pitched a shutout, allowing only 90 yards.
