Wake Forest Demon Deacons

Wake brings plenty of experience into this season with 15 starters returning (9 on offense, 6 on defense).  Whether or not these players coming back are a good thing or not remains to be seen.  The Deacons were awful last season earning just a 1-7 record in the ACC and a 4-7 record overall.  Wake is coming off of a terrible season offensively with a pass offense ranked near the bottom of the nation, though their rushing offense was effective at times.  Mixing it up will be difficult for this team with new players at skill positions.  The good news is that almost the entire offensive line is back, which should help solidify that running game again this year. 

The Demon Deacons get a bit of an advantage in the early part of the season with four of their first five games being at home.  The trouble is that their one road game is at Nebraska and two of the games are against very tough conference opponents.  There are flashes of good in this team, they have better speed than in year’s past and more experience on the offensive line, but they are still below the curve as far as passing offense and stopping much of anything on defense.  This is probably the weakest team in this half of the conference, though they may pull off an upset or two before the year is over.
