Week 11: vs. Wake Forest Demon Deacon

The Wake Forest Demon Deacon is another team in the division hoping to take that next step and earn a trip to the ACC Championship Game. This game is one that will be pivotal for both schools and one that both coaching staffs will have their teams ready for.

Unfortunately for both teams, they will have to prepare on a short week with this game on Thursday night.

There will be a little extra motivation for the Wolfpack as they came within inches of beating the Demon Deacons last year. In the picture above, Emeka Emezie fumbled away a touchdown in the closing minutes that would have tied the game with the Wolfpack having a chance to take the lead with the extra point.
