Rising Wake Forest faces Texas A&M in Belk Bowl
Two teams aiming to end the season the right way will clash in the Belk Bowl when Texas A&M and Wake Forest meet for the first time Friday afternoon at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C.
Yet the teams enter the game under vastly different circumstances.
Texas A&M (7-5) is in the midst of a coaching change, while Wake Forest (7-5) is aiming to continue a rise with its second bowl invitation in as many years.
"Now this year we did take another step," Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson said, referring to the seven-win regular season. "The next (step) is a little more challenging."
