Recap: Wake Forest Decimates SMU 49-7

The Deacs have done it AGAIN. For a 5th straight game, Wake Forest has completely dominated their opponent, beating SMU on their home field by 42 points.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but the Deacs basically won another game in the 1st quarter. SMU won the toss and elected to receive the ball, which turned out to be a costly error. The Wake Forest defense forced a 3 and out, and the Deacs quickly went up 7-0 in about 2 minutes on a 27-yard touchdown run by Ty Clark.

For a 4th straight week, a 1st quarter touchdown to take a 7-0 lead was enough to not lose the game. From that point on, it was just all Deacs—everything went Wake’s way in the 1st half.
