This weekend is the make or break for any chance to get somewhere in the ACC. It’s a must win because every game remaining on the schedule is a must win situation. Wake is 7-1 with a type of offense that has completely bamboozled the Hokies, in the past.
Wake is 7-1, with a surprise performance from just about everyone on both sides of the line of scrimmage. It’s also ranked 19th in the CFB, 22nd in the AP, and 20th in the Coaches’ Polls. That’s not the usual spot for Wake Forest.
Their 7-1 record looks quite impressive (and it is for Wake, which usually languishes near the basement of the Atlantic), but on second look, the list of teams played is fairly pedestrian.
