Wake Forest defense counting on youngsters and seniors alike
Wake Forest is ranked No. 15 in total defense after pitching a shutout of Boston College last week.Dave Clawson has never missed a moment to thank his seniors for their roles in the early stages of the second-year coach’s renovation of Wake Forest football. This is about more than simple tone-setting, though. And about more than seasoned players’ loyalties being rewarded.
Defensively, Clawson has asked plenty from his seniors. For a Demon Deacons squad that entered 2015 with the youngest two-deep in the country (per Phil Steele), this 3-3 start has been a group effort.
