It’s been almost 72 hours since the 2016 Demon Deacon football season came to a close, and I don’t think anyone reading this is complaining about the finish. A thrilling 34-26 upset over #23 Tulane was just one of seven Wake Forest victories that gave the program its first winning season since 2008. When reflecting on the year yesterday afternoon, I began to think of some of the plays that had a massive impact on the Deacs turning things around in 2016 and setting up the thrill that happened Tuesday night at the final whistle.
Each game had its own mini-moments that put Wake Forest in a position to win and added up to this season ultimately being a success.
