The Wake Forest football team officially began practice for the 2016 football season on Friday at 6:00 a.m. at the Doc Martin Football Complex and McCreary Field House. It is now year three of the Dave Clawson era and it’s the most anticipated season for the Demon Deacons since 2013, which ended up being Jim Grobe’s final season on the Wake Forest sideline. I examine why the expectations are high and what Dave Clawson has accomplished during his tenure at Wake Forest.
Wake Forest fans have high expectations because of Clawson’s rightly earned reputation as a program builder.
