Don't call it a comeback, I've been here for years. SF is back to give you three ups and three downs from Wake Forest's way too close 7-3 victory over the Tulane Green Wave in the 2016-17 opener.
The Ups
The Defense. Lordy lordy, our defense went HARD. Tulane was 8-20 on third down. 1-4 on fourth down. It's also worth noting that many of those were short-yardage situations against a run heavy squad with veteran running backs. Sure, there were some infuriating plays (notably the 3rd and 22 and then a 4th and 10 conversion in a high stakes situation), but given how often the defense was out there and how much they had to buckle down, they did an absolutely awesome job.
