As far as weather was concerned, Saturday night in Winston-Salem was absolutely miserable. The Wake Forest football team and group of fans still gathered when the scoreboard clock hit 0:00 in the 4th quarter with Wake holding a 28-9 lead didn’t care. For the first time since the 2006 season the Demon Deacons are 5-1 and now sit just one win away from securing bowl eligibility for the first time since 2011.
Wake opened the game as a slight favorite and with one consistent unknown throughout the week - what role Hurricane Matthew and its remnants would play during Saturday night’s contest - many Deacon fans were concerned about what Coach Clawson and company would bring to the table.
