Last year they were horrible. How the bleep did they improve so fast or are they overrated? Hope our Offense doesn't come out like they did against ND last year. Good god that was terrible.
They are rated like 50th in total defense arent they? They arent great

WF was the only team to score 20+ points this season.

Holding USC, Nc State and MSU to less than 20 is pretty good. Especially how ****ty their D was last year. Stop discrediting their schedule.
Last week was probably our best offensive performance. If we can build off of that we will win.
They have a different coordinator. And I assume they are healthier ( don't know).
They do have weaknesses though and it is not like they stop everybody. NC State was able to get some nice catches from their WRs in some blown coverages.
I also think this is the kind of game Herndon will do well in. Intermediate passes will be there for him and if they miss a tackle he will eat up chunks of yards we need.

I'll add to that, VT's Defense is night and day better than ND's. I hope our Offense comes to play to help the D out.
They got rid of Brian Vangorder.
-Their defense was trash last year, then they fire their defensive coordinator a couple weeks before playing us.
-Meanwhile, Wake Forest had one of the worst offenses in the FBS, but one of the best defenses, led by DC Mike Elko. In 2016, Wake Forest's defense ranked in the top 20 for FBS in defensive touchdowns scored, turnovers, red zone defense, sacks, and scoring defense. Only 3 other teams did that last year, all playoff teams (Washington, Clemson, and Bama). He had a playoff caliber defense at wake forest....
-During the off season ND hired Mike Elko and his LB coach. So he pretty much brought a playoff caliber ACC defense to ND and ofcourse, they have much better talent than Wake Forest. This explains why ND defense is much better than last year, and also explains why ironically...Wake Forest put up the most points on them. They know his defense better than any other team.
