The third time was the charm for the Demon Deacons. Wake Forest stood at 5-1 following a 28-9 victory over the Syracuse Orange on October 8th, and it took the Deacs three tries to clinch bowl eligibility, but they did it with a 27-20 victory over the Virginia Cavaliers on November 5th to earn the coveted sixth win. For Dave Clawson, the third times tends to be the charm.
The 2016 season is Dave Clawson’s third year as Wake Forest’s head coach, and it is the first year that he had expectations of positive results on the field.
