If you've been paying attention to NCAA Football, you must be aware of the rough ride the Wake Forest Demon Deacons have been having recently. With a looser-than-a-goose regular season record of 2-4, they have had more ups and downs than a rollercoaster at Six Flags. Their quarterbacks, Hank Bachmeier and Michael Kern, have been performing like they're hurling water balloons rather than footballs, fraught with interceptions.
Their recent games reek of inconsistency, too. Who remembers the thumping they took from Clemson Tigers on October 12th? 49-14, it was like watching a cat play with a mouse before dinner. Yes, they beat North Carolina State Wolfpack just a week before, but again, consistency matters.
Let's shift focus to the Connecticut Huskies, now. With a far more respectable regular season record of 4-2, they have been walking tall. They've even made some teams look like they're playing in slow motion. With quarterbacks like Joe Fagnano and Nick Evers calling the shots, it's almost like watching a carefully choreographed ballet, except with more sweat and less tutus.
Offensively speaking, Huskies players Durell Robinson and Skyler Bell have been treating the end zone like their very own backyard, hauling in the touchdowns left, right, and center. I won't overlook the Demon Deacons either, with Demond Claiborne and Horatio Fields making some commendable plays, but as I mentioned earlier, a few sparks don't make a fire.
Switching over to defense, Nick Andersen and Dylan Hazen have been holding fort for the Demon Deacons, but have they been impressive enough? They've made tackles, sure, but where's the fear factor? It's a different story for Huskies, with linebacker Jayden McDonald and Tui Faumuina-Brown putting on performances that have left opponents reconsidering their career choices.
Alright, Prediction time. Hold onto your hats folks, it's going to be a wild ride.
