Remember when Wake Forest was one of the most challenging games on Clemson’s schedule every season?
The Demon Deacons were a thorn in Clemson’s side during much of the Tommy Bowden era, but the Tigers have won nine in a row in the series, dating back to a 12-7 Deacon win in Winston-Salem in 2008. That was Tommy Bowden’s last game as head coach at Clemson.
It’s interesting to note that Wake Forest hasn’t played an away game since the season opener in early September at Tulane. Saturday marks the fifth consecutive home game for the Deacons, who will then have an open week and spend four of the final six weeks of the season on the road.
