Got Them Right Where We Want Them

PrintTajh Boyd wasn't pressured much by Wake Forest but had a tough time anyway:
Knowing it could not win one-on-one battles, Wake Forest did not try to beat Boyd with pressure. The Demon Deacons tried to make Boyd beat himself. They often dropped eight defenders into coverage and seldom pressured Boyd, who had a clean jersey after the game.
The strategy nearly worked. Boyd forced throw after throw into a crowded secondary looking for his favorite targets.
Mike Archer was reading this and said to himself, "my god, that's just the thing that my defense does!" He then ceased all preparations for Saturday's game, leaned back in his chair, and lit a cigar. Drop eight? Hell, I bet we could find a way to drop nine. We'll bend-but-don't-break the hell out of those bastards. We'll bend-but-don't-break 'em until they don't know which way is up. Boyd will lose his nerve in the third quarter and begin to see two or even three David Amersons in coverage. He may never play college football again.

This Game Is Meaningless
There are only two outcomes, both bad.
1. The most likely. They kill us. No bowl eligibility. We’ll be so discouraged we’ll lose the Maryland game.
2. We upset Clemson. We celebrate all week and lose the Maryland game. No bowl eligibility.
But how ’bout that basketball team??
Maybe we'll run a 1-2-8 defense
That would give us the flexibility to rush 3 or drop 10 at will.

The sad part is
With the 1-2-8, you’d drop 10, and our (Clemson) offensive line might still give up a sack. Sigh….
Though that would just make Sammy Watkin’s highlight reel even better as he burns past 10 defenders.

This is it...
This is the game that Mike Archer has waited for his whole life.
Tajh Boyd may be the One. A once-in-ten-generations quarterback that Morpheus Archer has been searching for….“Tajh, you can take the blue pill and the story ends. You wake up in your backfield and nothing has changed. OR you take the red pill, you stay in SoftZoneLand and I show you how deep I can drop a safety…I’m trying to free your mind, Tajh. But I can only show you the door, you are the one that has to throw into it.”
