Wave loses opener 7-3

[msdos]

Offense is boring, all this passing talk was obviously just to use the media to throw off Wake.
Defense looking solid.

[OUG]

I don't want to hear about our attendance woes again from P5 fans.

[GreenPuddleSplash]

Don't like that at all to put Bradwell in at that point. Waste of good field position.

Bradwell really looked hesitant to let the ball fly, either via the pass or pitch.

Cuiellette looks like an effective enough runner. It's been tougher than expected trying to rush the ball with our rbs.

GC looks hesitant to pitch it to the outside too.

He had Badie on that pitch on the last drive. Probably would have gotten the first....

Sure is nice to talk about these kinds of things. It seems all to familiar that we were talking about penalties, pick 6's, blah, blah, blah,,,,,you know the drill...

Yep, we had some missed opportunities...we will correct that. Love the coaching as well.

I do love seeing Fritz being hands on during time outs and teaching technique. We are in a new era

[winwave]

Agree about the timing of putting Bradwell in being questionable. GC running bette than expected but we have to try passing some more. Kicking game looking good so far. We're in it. Now lets win it.

BTW, very classy of the other team honor our coach by wearing his initials and putting them at midfield.

[OUG]

I doubt our offense is this vanilla all year. We are playing low-risk right now, as we probably should be in this spot.

Halftime,

UT-Martin 7, Cincinnati 6. UT-M had the ball first and goal at the 8, ended up missing a FG that would have put them up 10-0. Cincy drove 80 yards in the last 3 minutes for a TD, but missed the PAT

Maine 7, UConn 7. UConn TOP 19:40 to 10:20. Maine misses a 37yd FG.

Agreed. They'll get more comfortable with handling the ball as we go.

[DfromCT]

I've seen several instances on offense where Fritz is over coaching himself.

C'mon, man! Give the guy a break! I think he's trying to keep the team in the game by not turning it over, something our previous regime could have really clued in on.

I wish we had Graf on the play by play!

Roll Wave!

[JerseyWave]

15 passing yards in first half. Tanner Lee must be laughing somewhere in Lincoln, Nebraska.

Thought about that as well. Really cool...HA!

C'mon man. No reason to put Bradwell in that spot. Looked terrible. We should have at least gotten a field goal on that drive. Could be the difference in the ball game.

I don't know why. If he was starting today, he would have killed us with picks right about now.

[Wave755]

OK, and how I wish we would go outside more often. why we just don't run outside more I don't know?

[Wavetime]

We've had many plays where the swing man was open as the 2nd read or the pitch was there etc. When our QB gets experience this offense will really open up.

[Wave755]

We are getting stuffed up the middle but the outside is there. This is a big series.

[Wavetime]

Wake is supposed to have a pretty good line. Now, I'm not sure if they are good or we are struggling, but we are not winning that battle.

[Wave755]

Blitz is killing us, we look God awful every time they blitz.

[JerseyWave]

So frustrating again blowing scoring opportunity. Can't find the endzone.

[greenphantom]

Ugh. Dumb play by Encalade staying up and losing 4 yards. Then Jacquet blocks no one on the left side on 3rd down.

[OUG]

Putting Glen in a drop back look on 3rd and 8 from the 20 was a bad call by WF. Run the option outside. That way we at least get the FG and maybe pick up the first down.

[tpstulane]

I said 13-6. We just don't have a QB yet. We should be competitive most of the year. Well coached but just not enough offensive skill players yet. We going to have trouble scoring all year.

I don't think Glen looks bad. Need to open up the offense a little

[GreenGears]

The offensive line continues to kill us.

[Eaglewave]

Damn. We can beat these guys. Our offense, (as usually), just can't get going.
