Got an e-mail saying the game can been streamed on ESPN+.

Thought ACC games were on the ACC Newtwork.

Can’t find the game on ESPN+. Anyone else getting the game on ESPN+?

Hens get one first down, then have to punt.

That’s what I thought…but the UD e-mail, from both yesterday and today, said the game could be watched on either the ACC Network OR ESPN+.

Another wonderful bit of incorrect info from our sports department. :roll:

ACC Network: "Delaware is worst fourth-down defense in the country."

First down Wake on 4th and 3, followed quickly by another first down run.

ACC Network: "Delaware's going to have to put more men on line of scrimmage to stop the run." :lol: :lol:

Wake scores on 15-play, 84-yard drive.

Here’s another (to paraphase)…

“Defending against the run has been Delaware’s achilles heel.”

At least we made them work for it I suppose. Lol. As feared, they jammed the ball down our gullets, a few WR and RB screens that were just extended handoffs, gonna be a long day if the offense can't hold onto the ball a bit and score a few points.

This is going to be a hard game to watch. WF will just methodically move down the field with long drives and score rather easily and the Hens will have trouble moving the ball let alone score much.

Need more quick slants. Long passes are not going to be effective against a defense like this.
