Syracuse Football: Waxing poetic on WF and where Krispy Kreme began

Our football guru is previewing Syracuse football hosting Wake Forest, with a little history lesson.

It’s time for another Syracuse football preview as I do it in poetry form

I know these things are a bit different than what some consider the norm

This time we head to Winston-Salem as Syracuse faces the Demon Deacons

Which is also the first place someone turned the Krispy Kreme hot light on

I went to a game with mom once at Truist Field which is where Wake normally plays

Sat behind the Syracuse football bench and told Riley Dixon the Heisman was coming his way

If you’re looking for a Wake Forest player to watch, their quarterback will give you plenty

Sam Hartman is back after throwing for over two thousand yards in 2020

And don’t let Wake Forest head coach Dave Clawson’s record fool you

You go into this game unprepared and his team will school you

Many predict this team could be headed to a bowl game this season

This will also be a great test to see if Syracuse football will also ease in

Can the defense contain Hartman and the rest of their offensive scheme

Or will the 3-3-5 defense of Tony White be just a pipe dream?
