Will the Wake Forest Demon Deacons increase their win total for the fourth year in a row? These will be four key games if they hope to achieve that.

Over the past three seasons, the Wake Forest Demon Deacons under head coach Dave Clawson has increase their win total from three in 2015 to eight last year. They have also improved every year within the conference from one win to finishing at .500 last year (4-4).

While the Demon Deacons saw the most improvement from 2015 to 2016 with a four win improvement, this year they will be looking to take that next step as potential conference contender.

However, it won’t be easy as they are the tougher division in the ACC with powerhouse Clemson along with competitive programs like Louisville, Florida State and NC State.

If Dave Clawson is going to get Wake Forest back to the ACC Championship for the first time since 2006, these will be the four most important games.
